Very Thorough
This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.

“What is that T-Shirt about?”
Many a buddy of Aaron’s has said kind words for him. It is hard to put my own thoughts into words. Right now I am numb; Soon, I know, sad. Talking is hard, writing too. I think I will talk of a short point back in January of 2011, around my arrival in MA.
In Mako’s library Aaron and I, during a party, sat with a man who consults with a civil rights organization that works with digital copyright law, and is a fan of zork (or so I know now from his IRC account). All around, Mako, Aaron, and I said words that fit a constraint. This man said notably “I do not find it hard to talk in this way.” Aaron said “Nor do I.” I did, as did Mako. Mako said for us to stop, as slow talking was annoying to him. Though short, it was stunning.
I, at points, thought back to this party with joy. A dazzling show of fast thinking from Aaron and his cohorts. That was long ago. Now it is as if my world is gray. Songs fall flat, and grins go slack. Much as our words had a constraint back in 2011, my joy has a constraint now.
That is all I can say for now, but who knows, I may want to talk of similar things again soon. And if you can, you should too.
