I Want YOU to Become a Hermit Today

Come closer, friends, and let me whisper into your ear the secret to eternal life . . . "Be a Hermit."

"But . . . but . . . social interaction! Friends and family!" I hear you cry.

True. True. Sacrifices will need to be made. But! Think of all we will gain! No more awkward encounters with Tom, your neighbor from down the street who you've caught multiple times stealing the magic beans from your garden to feed his pregnant wife. No more tense situations between man and beast with beast demanding your daughter as payment for a stolen rose. No more getting tricked into being trampled to your death with your son watching on!

Okay . . . okay . . . you got me. Technically all these are movie and/or fairy tale references, but . . . I mean . . . I'm not entirely wrong here now am I? As an accounting major, I can assure you that your odds of being murdered and/or magically transfigured, cursed or kidnapped all go down SIGNIFICANTLY if you simply never leave your house.

So, do the right thing. Become an agoraphobe today.

In all honesty though; I played Portal 2 again this week. Of all the fictional technology in that game, you know what the most coveted invention is for a tried and true introvert such as myself? CAROLINE. The woman whose entire being was literally downloaded onto, what I can only assume, was a single floppy-disk.

Sigh. One day, science. One day.

Until then, I SUPPOSE I will continue to leave the house. But ONLY because I like to eat . . . and play in the snow . . . and . . . well . . . if I'm being honest . . . go on adventures of the traveling nature . . . nothing that couldn't be accomplished by staying inside all day, I'm sure.

*PS* 

Long time, no update friends.

It's been awhile since I've felt that overwhelming itch to just sit down and WRITE. Who only knows what come out of my magically typing fingertips when the itch happens. It's always entertaining though, and helps me sort through the things I can't otherwise sort through. So! I'm expecting, or at least, hoping, to sit down and just WRITE at least once a week. Let's see what zany adventures we can find together.

Until next time!
