A dreamcatcher works, if your dream is to be gay.
I think it’s interesting that cologne rhymes with alone.
I like birthdays because we celebrate life with cakes. It’s so cool. Sometimes when I see a baby, I’m like that much more cake in the world. But then when someone dies, I’m like the cake streak is over...
My policy is no stone throwing regardless of housing situation.
I think a lot of stuff I find funny is from day dreaming.
I have a jar at home, and I put pennies in it whenever I curse. The other day I spilled the jar. I owe it about $25.

I love catching a snapshot of something that is just about to happen. Or maybe something that just happened, you know. But I like especially that just-before kind of feeling.
