Entry #1196, (Random Crap)(posted when I was 23 years old.)
oof, watch out. I'm emptying my inbox. And in the process of doing so, I'm going to come across a bunch of things I saved because I'd want to be able to reference them later ... so I'm transferring all said information to my log instead, which is where it belongs, really ...
