      if there was one thing he disliked, it was being alone.

      he would never show it-- no, not unless he wasn’t sober, not unless he craved attention late at night like it was going out of style. there was always someone with him and when there wasn’t, like in this moment, his heart would pound quickly until he found someone to share his presence with. no matter who, simply knowing there was another being was just enough to calm frantic nerves, return heart rate to a normal level.

      it was his one true, crippling f e a r.

      though it was always passed off with an easy smile, a laid-back gait. nothing betrayed his nervous demeanor when he stepped into the classroom, found an acquaintance. he wasn’t sure they could be called friends yet and he wasn’t sure he wanted that title, but it was something, at least.

Ugh, man, so jealous. I can’t even take mine out for 15 minutes without them shrinking down enough to make putting the tunnels back in painful. And they’ve been at 00 for 2 years now! Maybe I should get mine scapeled.

Nuuu dont do that!  Scalpeling should ONLY be done when you have no other option (moving from my personal blog) because it causes lots of long term issues
