I've accumulated all sorts of these scraps over time and once I had a place for them to live they've seemed to be coming out of the woodwork: I'm rather compulsive about saving my thoughts, even these half-baked ones.

Since this sections inception in Feb '03, I have used this as the new form of scratch-pad as well, retelling stories I told elsewhere but all wrong, splatting out other words as time permitted.

I generally dislike composing in front of the keyboard because I think it makes me lazy about my words. I type at about 80 words a minute and not having a delay between my brain and my writing medium tends to make me lazy. There's more than a handful of entries in here like that, but they also are spur-of-the-moment babbling that would be otherwise lost.

Hopefully the disparity between the two renders each into something reasonable...
