this evening, by the smelly light of cleaning...
Dear me,
You know you are single & have been dissecting when - you give your number to someone for having an attractive jaw and good posture.
PS. A new pickup line inspired by this evening’s events — ‘You never realize how much skin is on a penis bone until you have to chop it to bits.’

“Now, unlike before, he regretted the all-too-human decisions required to retrieve the phenomenon masked by variations. And only now did that judgment strike him as treacherous.”

'stalking fleeting sensations'
“…When our mind does not have a clear contact or sight of objects, it must make elaborate excursions. It ‘advances on them step by step and endeavors to capture them by their consequences.’*148 …hunting signified tangible ways and myriad paths of pursuit. It was an experimental quest, a practical Baconian voyage, encouraging each person to conduct [their] own research...
