this is not about getting it right, figuring things out, or hitting a bull's-eye. this is not about an obsession with word choice or an exacting eye on grammatical correctness. this is not about pulling out all the stops with tricky literary devices. this is about looking at life one paragraph at time.

Love it, Maya. And I must say, I agree with most of them - especially Yes-men, Fecal matter and Chintz!

In Latin class I had the hardest time with Sepulchre, not due to meaning, due to the feeling of it in my mouth.
I adore this!!!
