A wave, a wink, and a nod

I used to think becoming someone was what this ("life") was all about.

Yet none of the non-human animals seemed bothered by/with the like.

And you *know* just how perfect the word 'bothered' is in the previous sentence.

So why all the emphasis on - if not hullabaloo over - becoming someone in this *therein/thereby* godforsaken species?

Mental illness is some pretty gosh-danged contagious schtuff, no?

Speaking of which:

I detest high-brow British accents - especially whispered.
How nice to have recently learned of "stty [-]echo". A well-placed pair disabling/enabling echo makes my "covertly type a post" script even better.
Aren't thoughts but outbursts of mental illness?
I'm often waiting to be alone in order to write what I hope will attract others whose interaction might cure my being so alone.
It's not easy wanting to interact with others who you're pretty sure won't want to interact with you.

All through the day, I me mine, I me mine, I me mine
