Popped the Pimple

Finished The Scarlet Pimpernel. Blegh. Interesting idea + Badly written = Annoying like crazy. I feel cheated.

Deprived.

Ticked off.

I was laughing with a friend about how everyone wears masks in their lives, and how if we ever dropped them we'd feel as if we were suddenly naked with only a dog collar on while everyone else in the room had suits...

It's not that we mean to be deceptive, it's just...the way we live.

Survive...
