you know the way you talk too much when you're feeling lonely? someone asks you one more question than the normal "how are you?" and suddenly you're telling them about your childhood dog and what you had for lunch last wednesday and the noises they begin to utter are similar to those of the audience of a toddler performing tricks like burping or spinning in a circle for a half hour straight yelling "watch! watch!"--they're the 'oh's and 'uh-huh's of the morally obligated, watching you drowning in a foot of water but completely unable to lend you a hand.
in other news, Agent Ribbons is a really great band.
