Salt And Pepper

I keep find­ing new white hairs on my head. I’m start­ing to go slight­ly grey on the sides like my father, although he start­ed at 15. My hair is still very thick though, while his has thinned sig­nif­i­cant­ly. Some see the thick hair as a good thing, but I see it most­ly as a has­sle. If I don’t con­di­tion, it turns coarse. Aaron jokes that it’s my mane, as if girls grab onto it to con­trol me dur­ing sex.

The Only Rabbits Foot

I’m gen­er­al­ly not a super­sti­tious per­son but I have this one super­sti­tion when I’m lis­ten­ing to my iPod. I always have my songs on ran­dom, and if two songs ever play in a row that were meant to be played in a row (i.e. in order on an album or if the sec­ond song devel­ops the motifs from the first) then I think I’ll have a good day.

I think it start­ed when I used to play lad­der match­es in WC3 with Jacky. She always lis­tened to music when she was play­ing, so she had her 8000 songs queued up. If Sigur Rós ever came up, she would know that we’d win. I don’t think she was ever wrong.

…I knew jeal­ousy would be the best ally I could call in for the fur­ther­ance of that end

—Mr. Rochester, Jane Eyre

I set jeal­ousy traps. I don’t do it mali­cious­ly, and I don’t go out of my way to set them up. I just do it to gath­er infor­ma­tion, to know where peo­ple stand. Does this make me a bad per­son? Perhaps, but I think that I’m as much at fault as the per­son who falls for such a thing. After all, jeal­ousy to me is a super­flu­ous emo­tion.

It’s AMAZING what some will do when they’re jeal­ous.
