Mine is not good right now. I'm not going to bore you with details, but I do want to say I'm sorry if I have seemed snotty to anyone lately. I don't feel particularly snotty (except in the literal sense; I am definitely a phlegm factory), but I do feel terse. For me, terseness means I am sick of the sound of my own voice (or the sight of my own words). To others, I know from experience, it can read as snottiness. I do not intend it as such.

Rhetorical question: Is it possible for a reasonably intelligent person to go through four years of American high school and come out the other side ignorant of what "cheerleaders" symbolize to ugly girls, or girls who aren't ugly but are so weird that they get treated as if they're ugly, or "girls" who aren't really girls at all, but knowing that would have made the mouthbreathers in their school even more determined to kill them? What I mean is, once you've gone through high school as one of the losers, do terms like "cheerleader" and "jock" and "popular" ever lose their loadedness? Do they ever lose their ability to jump out from behind a quarter-century's worth of real life and bite you in the ass with teeth you assumed they'd lost years ago?
