Lydia and Icaruss: I will have to get to those this weekend. I know I'll spend an hour or more on each and I don't have the time right now. I will definitely get to them this weekend though.

A writer is a world trapped in a person— Victor Hugo
Ink is blood. Paper is bandages. The wounded press books to their heart to know they're not alone.
