Cranky Large Medium reading, 18 January

Go away.

Will you ever go? Its not as though this is Grand Central and I have the only open ticket booth. There's the gate, use it. Oh, fine, just stand there as though you expect something from me. Because... oh. You do expect something. Your reading awaits you, now, doesn't it? Here you are:

Don't hold back; your strength can do seriously fun damage, if you learn to control it a little better. As. If. You are suspicious by nature, so you are unlikely to open yourself to true love, let alone the paid variety. Get used to paranoid solitude.

Are you happy, now? Of course not. At least you're better off, though, than these people, all of whom took the last train to Purgatory on this date in history: Publius Clodius Pulcher, Leo I, Emperor Go-Hanazono, Margaret of Austria, Jan van Riebeeck, John Tyler, Adolf Butenandt, Moses Amyraut, Anton Anderledy, Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, Rudyard Kipling, Bruce Chatwin, Baldassare Verazzi, Virgil Finlay, Wallace Reid, Jerome Lester Horwitz aka Curly Howard, Sydney Greenstreet, Wilfrid Brambell, Rusty Hamer, Al Waxman, Carl Betz, Lamont Bentley, Gertrude Olmstead, Reece "Goose" Tatum, Ron Luciano, Georgia Frontiere, Walter H. Thompson, Cecil Beaton, Paul Tsongas, John Stroger

and Brent Liles.

Can't get much steadier than that, today.
Happy birthday, anyway.
