Thanks, and a rant!

The icon poll from last time reveals that the Rivkid is twice as popular as the nearest runner-up (I think so too!). In fact, my icons have a power law distribution in popularity, which is an entirely perfect result. Also, thank you so much, notreallyjordan and anonymous for the extra time! I know I haven’t been visibly around much this semester, but you have been an amazing refuge for me even when I’m not saying anything. I will attempt to perform similar acts of kindness, and also do more writing here.

A paragraph of text I love (wait for it):
The problem is that no matter how many monkeys are thrown into the background to provide eyecatching stunts of simian prowess, the person who has said the stupid thing has still said the stupid thing. The problem is that whether the injured party is diverted by monkey spectacle or not, the person who has said the stupid thing has still said the stupid thing. The problem is that when the earth burns up in a supernova flare and the monkeys that have taken over the world in ages past disassemble into atoms, the person who has said the stupid thing will still have said the stupid thing, although, admittedly, at that point it will mean significantly less to the injured party.

Next time, I hope, reviews. I have several stacked up and waiting!
