Taking a page from the How To Make Big Headlines In Jail by Gandi, Paris refused to eat and now she's been "transferred" to house arrest. Because somehow refusing to eat is Suddenly a special kind of health issue for which she and she alone should get special treatment for.
Dead to me, America. Truly. What's the point anymore of even trying to put on a face like you're a serious country doing serious things when Paris can get out of jail for not eating?
Because house arrest IS NOT jail. No where near, especially for her. She can still shop online. Get Poo-poo'ed by whomever her family hires for that detail. Have friends visit. Sleep in her own goddamn bed.
So, yea, maybe I'm more cranky than usual due to the monthly visit of the Gnome-miners -- they have tiny shark pick-axes.
But still.
There is no justice in this world. Truly. Children starve and Paris gets out of jail for not eating. Normal people serve their time while The New Royalty gets a get-out-of-jail-(practically)-free card.
Maybe I'll stop eating to protest Paris being let out of jail. No one will care. And I will die. Or I won't die and I end up super-skinny. Then, and only then, maybe I'll, too, have a shot at fame. Not based on talent, per say. Unless showing the most ribs through your skin counts.

Hi, Me
I've had a habit since I was young.
I talk to myself.
Granted, there are times when I'm more...shy. When I live with/around a bunch of people, for instance. See, they think you're talking to them...and then you have to explain. Then you're forced into just whispering -- or even mouthing. Or sometimes it's all just trapped in your head, the whole conversation.
I had a realization: do other writers do this? Is this a normal trait for other story-smiths?
Personally, I find that being able to really talk out loud to yourself is exponentially more helpful than just keeping it all in your head. There's a second set of brain processing that goes on when it must first come out your mouth and then filter it's way back in through your ears and THEN hits your brain.
If it's bullshit, an alarm goes off. Why? I think it's the "coming out of someone else's mouth" filter at work.
Anyway, share. Do you? Should you? Could you? Try it, at least. Best done when alone. We tend to self-sensor if we think people can hear us...
