A little bit of clarity.

So for those of you who have never read Shampoo Planet by Douglas Coupland, there's always been this part in it that I remember, even when I haven't read the book in about five years (like, say, now).

At the moment in the book, the main character and his girlfriend (I believe?) sit around and write on dollar bills. On each of them, they write a fault they believe someone they know has. Something like:

You believe you have more memories than energy to process those memories.

(or something like that -- as I said, it's been a while since I've read the book). Anyway, the point is that at some point here, I'm going to do that exact same thing with everyone I know (within reason). Call it therapy if you must, but I'm getting a little tired of carrying around people's faults with me. And it's about time that I got them out before I end up moving to a shack in the woods.

The nice part about all of this is that no one reads this thing, and even if you do, you won't know if I'm actually writing about you. We shall see.
