This is the saddest, most depressing music I've ever heard. It makes me so happy.
Well, look who I ran into," crowed Coincidence. "Please," flirted Fate, "this was meant to be.
I collect flickering stars in old pickling jars, poking holes in the lids so they can breathe.
Every director is different. And all the movies are very different, and the characters are very different.
You're gone. No mailing address. But I send you letters anyway.
I know other worlds exist. I can see them in my peripheral vision.
