What are friends for?

I stood barefoot holding a hot steaming iron in my hand, wearing only
a red towel, my wet hair haphazardly clinging to my neck and
shoulders. I kicked the massive pile of clothes, dirty and clean, that
accessorize the floor of my room in hopes that I might unearth some
pair of mostly clean dress pants.

He lay in my bed, wrapped in a cocoon of my blankets. "This whole
domestic thing, it is kind of hot" he said.

Dutifully banishing wrinkles from my pants, I replied "Nothing is hot at 7am".

I dressed myself for work as fast as an America's Next Top Model on
coke, which for the record is very fast and sat myself in front of the
make-up mirror.

"Since when do you wear make-up?"

"Since I woke up looking like crap after two hours of sleep", I retorted.

"You look fine".

"You have to say that, you're in my bed".

"Friends don't let friends drive home during blizzards".

Your blog seems to have taken on a new sort of theme. I can't quite put my finger on it.

I am in a strange state as of late and I don't much like it or the manifestations like these which it produces.

About Me

I like run-on sentences and also syntax based loosely on the approved constructs of grammar.
