1This will flow through to an article for another time.

2I don’t drive because of… #7.

3Note: I like being a figurative passenger, I have massive anxiety being a literal passenger.

4I can not count you in this, cool?

5I was taught to always set clocks 5 minutes ahead, thus guaranteeing I’ll always be on time. I have found it better to have all clocks set to the correct time, to the second. It enforces self-control.

6Fuck my microwave clock for being slow. Just another thing I have to set to the second every weekend.

7…Has destroyed more than you can imagine in my life. And I don’t just mean physical stuff.

8I believe in omens. Don’t start omens. Just don’t.

9No, this is not just a fear. It is a trust issue. They have plans.
