23 - Just got back home having been snowed in overnight at @d0ugs. Snowboarding & company ace, 2 day old sweaty undies, almost as much. Scratch.
16 - Fear is: the forgotten memory of the hot chocolate; the clear memory of cleaning the toilet; and the brown spot on your nose.
14 - The dude next door is noise incarnate, I bet he'd even die in his sleep loudly. Whistling while stirring tea and playing with ringtones...

24 - "Ultimate" frisbee is simply normal frisbee with the lazy fun taken out and pain, suffering, injury and disease thrown in.
