Not painting a good picture. Gets worse when I say I was heading off to go hack someone's computer. Turned out to be nice and simple, their recently deceased (ex?) partner had a mac and they didn't know how to turn it on. Was running OS9 so security wasn't hard to bypass. All I really had to do was rename files and add suffixes so they could use them on a PC.

And in an attempt to claw back karma kudos, I said no to money. She kept insisting, so I pointed out people were nice to me at a similar time, so it was nice to pay them back in kind. Which made me feel all warm n fuzzy. She kept insisting so I suggested a donation to charity, Kidney Foundation. I'm a fuckin' saint.

The Mountain Goats may not be Emo-with-a-capital-E, but they are undoubtedly emo, if you know what I mean...

Oh, that was I, Scott. I just can't be bothered turning on my active X settings, so anonymouse I shall be!

I've also thought that "saint" is the logical prefix for your name. They go together so well, like "flies" and "shite".

Can I rub your tummy on Sunday?
