Dorothy has this meme up over at her place, and it looks very interesting. I’ll try to think of the writers who influenced me the most, and all of you can see just how different we are. I like her idea of trying to put them in a personal chronological order, so I’ll make the [...]

No, not really. If I really got a new bicycle, I’d put the title in bold, all caps, and finish with at least five or six exclamation points. What I’m really talking about is a funny little internet meme that I just discovered. A guy in San Francisco was thinking about how he was gently [...]
