So it's a mental shotgun: synapticboomstick.

I simply can’t think of songs consistently enough to feed it and it was really just tacked on from its inception. […]

Like how clothes made from cheesecloth may suit one’s fancy, thereby, I reserve the right to mispell words in ways that pleas me. Intentional irony. Is that a definition of satire? <my eyelashes innocuously and stupidly batting> The brief rain smelt of Alabama in its kindest springtime offerings. The weather done…
