growing up sucks. you lose faith in everything you believed in. and i don't mean religion, not at all! i mean all those little things you convinced yourself were true. that your brothers are horrible beings put here to make your life miserable. that your dog will live live forever. that if you have the money, you can buy it. that those scary people your parents don't like are actually normal, well-adjusted people who just look really cool. that duct tape really can fix everything.
alright. i've known a lot of those things weren't true for a while. yes, peabody's going to die. no, my brother's weren't out to ruin my life. they were too busy thinking i was out to ruin theirs. the people who look strange and dark and mysterious are usually pretty messed up on the inside. but i never thought the day would come when duct tape wouldn't work! i used it to put a giant christmas light star on my ceiling... which fell apart this morning. it's a sad, sad world today.
