if_i_built_my_own_blather_would_anyone_show_up kss just wondering. I've always toyed with the idea, because I'm a geek and that's what I do.

(talking to myself) think. this is a separation from the main group, freedom, straying from the pack (not that this is a rebellion), non-comformity (this definitely breaks the pattern), breaking away, slipping underground. the scribe club the black thinkers society b.y.o.t.
