was cursed by a witch at birth. the witch was my mother. she'll deny it.
my parents prioritized alchemy over child-rearing. results have been mixed.
kissed five (5) coworkers while employed at the post office. the postal service has since asked me to stop.
almost didn't graduate high school because of gym class. i still resent the mile run as a concept.
spine has a c-shaped curve. ergonomic chairs are a personal nemesis.
convinced i'd be a knight in another timeline. i'd be a deeply annoying one.
earliest memory is being mad about something.
has, in fact, overthought something you're currently overthinking. probably had snacks while doing it.

"are you truly this pretentious?"

i contain the necessary level of pretentiousness required for me to survive. so yes.

"who reads lenin for fun?"

fun doesn't seem like the right word, but me, for sure.

"why 'marginalia'?"

see first question in faq.

"best star wars film?"

unpopular opinion... return of the jedi is the best movie.

"orientation?"

labels are cringe; read between the lines.

"will you reply?"

roll a d20. on a nat 20, within the month. otherwise, 4-6 business months.

return of the jedi is the best star wars movie.
waterworld is perfect cinema.
small towns are great. you just lack personality.
gym teachers peaked in high school and have been taking it out on us ever since.
the star wars extended universe is more interesting than the movies and shows combined.
most "balanced takes" are just cowardice with a thesaurus.

you hate the star wars prequels
you actually like the sequels (any of them)
you say "politics doesn't really affect me"
you're dismissive of other people's interests
you think going to college makes you superior to anyone (classist behavior, will not tolerate)
you're a republican (my dad excluded; rip to the rest of the family tree)
