It is required for knights to tell tall tales. I mean to be totally honest, but there is something about violence which makes it so hard not to exaggerate. The adrenaline or something makes it seem like there were 8 ogres attacking you instead of one medium sized guy. Or mostly when you are trying to convey the experience to others. I think this is why heroes such as hercules can grow to be up to 800 foot tall. Violence distorts. "There were millions of them!"
There was this conflict on the orange line but when i told rachel about it, it became more violent in the telling. Even the wisest of knights cannot help this kind of thing now and again.
I think they were in some kind of Malden irish gang.
Natalie has been so helpful that my to-do lists are now so all-encompassing that I have to put "go home and sleep" on there, or i will forget to do it until days have passed.
Which is bad news for my girlfriends i suppose. But lots of people are busy right now. My 'stock' has had a recent spike due to my friend thom having seat filler duties at Devo and thus allowing me to get 22 of my friends in to the show for free. They are fat 60 yr olds now tho. Are we not men? We are Fat Devo.
When my stock goes up, Jess often psychically knows and calls me on the phone. She called during Devo from a Tony Clifton show to tease me about the fact she is getting married again to an "awesome" guy. And to ask me do I want to come to the wedding? No of course not lol.
Tonight is the worst kind of busy for girlfriends, writing mode. I have to write these 5 scenes so i cant be disturbed. But if I finish on time I will call them up and kiss them. Even if I have to like capture while kissing...
