Pens cause arthiritis

I should write more letters. I don't want to put people in the position of having to write me back though. And I figure, after enough letters, I would expect to get one in return. Its only human.
Today I read this book:


It was good. But frightened me because it reminds me of how close my personality is to that of an autistic person. I fear being mentally unstable and I've come very close to losing it several times. I have a friend you thinks I should be medicated. But I worry that it would turn me into an unfeeling zombie.

My hand also starts to hurt when I write for awhile. I think the next generation will not be able to write with a pen or pencil at all. If you figure that I only started typing halfway through my life and find writing with a pen to be annoying after awhile that someone who was typing since birth will probably never see the point of writing manually like an animal. Texting will be the pen of the future. Maybe my generation will be the first to suffer from "tennis-thumb" or whatever - an agitation of the thumb joints as we age. That will be interesting. Its not "news you can use" though.

Speaking of -- I finally got a story in the paper.
But it will only be up for a week from this date. After that it goes into the paper's archives which people have to pay for which is ridiculous. Anyway. Its the one thing I can be proud of this summer except for not totally leaving Florida altogether and going on a rampage which was an inticing choice at one point.
