In my Waukesha North 1988 High School Yearbook there's a senior quote of "a mystique does not compel its own acceptance." Eight words that stuck a muse right into my brain; I have the damn thing memorized. The quoter was Simone Rollo (the sister of my friend who wrote the backwards letter to me -- but I never knew her) and she doesn't cite so it quite possibly could be her own words (Google yields no results).

While waiting for life that sucks to die, why not listen to my favorite unsigned bands: TQ's Garage Band Playlist.
