Which reminds me, the first time I read Atlas Shurgged was the last time I broke up with X ... not sure what the siginificance of that is, but the book is all about being independent & etc. Which is good, because to be completely honest I'm struggling with the whole breakup thing

Currently re-reading 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand and it's warping my mind. Most of the problem is that it is IMMENSE (1000+ pages of tiny dense script)., deeply deeply philosphical and fucking totally right-wing (in a mosly good way*).

So yeah, semi-anonymous internet to the rescue.

I just told my boss I love him via Messenger. And we're on a serious spending freeze right now, so I am not even angling for a raise....

I have pulled a muscle in my inner thigh. Not good. I wish I did it in an exciting way, but I was at the gym being overly ambitious. I have an ice pack on it at the moment. Not the best place for ice really.

I have suddenly realised that I will never ever be a contender for the World Beard and Moustache Championships: http://www.worldbeardchampionships.com/

I can't grow facial hair at all really.
