> [@RickJay](#): > > The delay I’ve had to endure has led me to the brink of insanity, and I find upon your arrival that I am in a rather unfortunate state. Indeed, it would perhaps be best had you not arrived at all, and I no longer wish to dwell on you. I do not want to accept anything from you, to the extent that I would rather suffer malnutrition than partake in your food. While I wish to depart this situation with all speed, I will instead do so at a normal pace, and then enjoy solitude, as was the case prior to your arrival. Pearl Jam - Corduroy - The waiting drove me mad, You’re finally here and I’m a mess, I take your entrance back… Next: My mother is doing fine. My father is also doing fine. However, their actions might appear a tad odd. Capitulate. Yield, however, refrain from offering yourself free of charge. ---

Surrender, by Cheap Trick Your Mommy’s all right Your Daddy’s all right They just seem a little weird Surrender Surrender But don’t give yourself away Hey, heeeeeey My accounts are unpaid, and the child needs footwear, but I’m destitute Textile prices have lowered, and I’m destitute My bovine won’t lactate anymore, and my farm fowl produces nothing A large pile of invoices keeps growing daily And the local government is about to seize all my assets, because I’m destitute. ---

Your trivial utterances and actions inspire my wish to remain in your presence. Continue babbling incoherently- the sentiment is deranged and I am not unaware that it causes me to backpedal on those occasions that you declare amorous intentions for myself. Continue babbling incoherently. ---

Busted-- Ray Charles Greetings. I notice that you’ve made the acquaintance of my trusted assistant. If he seems a bit depressed, it’s because he mistook your arrival for that of his drug connection. ---

Lunar estuary, with a breadth of more than 1,760 yards: on an undetermined date, I shall elegantly transnavigate thee. Architect of fantasies and destroyer of cardiac tissue, my destination is yours. A pair of itinerants ogling Earth, a planet whose sheer scale makes viewing difficult. We pursue identical terminal points of an arc-de-ciel, biding time by a curve, shrub-fruit companion. ---

Moon River, which I can’t type out because I don’t know the words aside from “Moooooooooooon river”. Beyond the confines of your residence is a land dominated by terror and physical suffering. A land where there is naught to drink but one’s own ocular secretions, and the sonorous tones that peal out from above are instead unholy klaxons prophecizing death. Thank the Lord, my friend, that it is the residents of that place that suffer that fate rather than you and yours. ---

Moon river, wider than a mile I’m crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way Two drifters, off to see the world There’s such a lot of world to see We’re after the same rainbow’s end, waitin’ 'round the bend My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me 😃 ---

One of Bob Geldof’s humanitarian projects. Although we were raised in different locations, we had lower class status in common. Our neighborhoods were each less than clean and callous to the plight of those who lived there, but we had similar aspirations as well as backgrounds. I sacrificed my own goals to help with yours. Now that you’ve attained it, I’m aghast at the lack of regard you have for the role I played in getting you there. ---

You display to myself and my companions all in your possession. You engage in rhythmic body movements, leading to temperature escalation in this chamber.

Baba O’Reilly-- The Who If you lack circulating medium, he will provide it. If you are without a vehicle he will obtain one for you.

Since Achren forgot to contribute a new song, i’ll do it for him. I intend to produce quite a hue and furor, for I have been charged with doing hard labor the entirety of my sabattical from school for the purpose of being paid an amount of cash so small as to be insignificant.
