well: for the sake of good taste, and endeavoring to be relatively modest, i will omit some particulars of this here brief story. but i can tell you that the other night i had my first nosebleed since i was 10 years old. that’s 23 whole years! i was with this cool girl i know, and at one point she moved away from me to get a glass of water. i felt something trickling down my face and so i sniffed, thinking my nose was runny or something. when she came back, i could see in the dimness of her room that her face was smeared with blood. i put my hand to my face and looked down and my fingers were covered in blood. we figured it out right then and there: i had a bloody nose. she got me some tissues and i plugged my right nostril, which was the source of this surprise gore. we laughed like hell. what else can you do? it was wild. she told me later that her roommate had mentioned how, in anime, people get bloody noses when they see someone cute or whatever. oops! well, what do you know.
In this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers.

During the first Pandemic Summer, I started a little store to sell dumb shirts I had been designing out of boredom. Mostly I just bought them for myself . . . though to my surprise, some of y’all actually bought them too! However: now I’m going to close the store because I reckon I’m just not interested in running it anymore, and also it costs me money to keep it open. So if you want a shirt, get one now! When you go to check out, use the discount code FAREWELL to knock $3 off. I make pennies off these shirts. It was just a Fun Thing To Do is all.
Hmmmmmm . . . I think I’ll probably use the logo and domain for something else next. I just gotta figure out what that something will be.
OK!!
OK so apparently there is more than one albino raccoon, as I happened to witness two of them near the Fairyland sign the other night on my way home from a sullen walk. I reckon it was too good to be true that there was a single omnipresent albino raccoon. Still! It is comforting to know they’re out there, and that they can reproduce and perpetuate their rare genetic trait.
A guy in front of me paused to watch them too. He turned to me and said, “Damn!” and I said, “Brother, we just witnessed a beautiful thing.”
said i to dante just now: “is a man not entitled to his reveries??” oh, the reveries of ryan!! i have written about many of them. there is one in particular that i go to every day of my life which i have not spoken to a single person. perhaps i will put down here sometime . . . though maybe i’m afraid to is all, because then what? maybe it vanishes as soon as i pluck it from the dreamy places in my head. i feel as though i need it or else i’ll have nowhere else to go. it is a harmless vision if not a little sad and childish, but then what else is new.
