I don't deny I'm an animal at heart. A beast. People that don't feel that way usually become some other kind of human.

I can think of three Canadians that were here. One of them I scared away by accident.

Holidays are supposed to make people "manic". Not "depressed". That's what I think about Christmas eve.

I used to give my sisters New Year's gifs, because I like the French ways sometimes.

My poem that takes place in Canada was one of the main ones that people found questionable.

And you forgot the G./S. in one/two of the lines.

[serge gurkski]

cannot type, sorry.

what is the French ways?

yes ty

[rowens]

I just meant traditions. Since France is one of those places big on New Year's gifts.

that is bad. You should brin another one for the one we lost because of you. That would be only fair.

[rowens]

To be clear, my poem that took place in Canada didn't scare them away. That poem's not even on this site. Only family and doctors found that questionable. It's their job to do that.

But it was other things. Probably my friendliness. That's what usually scares people away.

[serge gurkski]

yes indeed, your fucking friendliness. Maybe a Carnegie virus? Reconsider!
