  1. commenting here feels like i broke into your house while you were gone and wrote something in your journal. Well here it is anyways. I'm with you nearly 100 percent on these words, with a few exceptions: tree, sleep, food, wave, fire, burning, cricket, ...and penis drawings are so horrificaly cliche and immature that drawing them is somehow theraputic. Like breaking into a 4th layer of irony on which level no one could distinguish your penis drawing as the truth of the universe from mundane dickery.
