I wish I could put thoughts into her head. Then she’d have to think about me as much as I think about her. Then maybe she wouldn’t sleep at night either. Wow. That sounds really creepy. Oh well. The title is a reference. I’m not crazy. I swear.

My Life Is Routine, But In A Very Enjoyable Way
I go through my days in a fairly similar way every day; doing essentially the same thing I did the day before.
