Okay.
I kinda want to talk about a legendary friend of mine.
His name is Ayrton.
I laughed.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?It's not so much a story so much as a celebration of character.
Anyway, Ayrton was born sounding like Tolkien named him so he only had one real direction in his life to go - blacksmithing and leatherworking. He has his own studded armour that he's been working on for ages. Meticulously researched, too. He has red hair, and a full on beard the likes of which I won't be growing til I'm thirty. He drove me to a book sale once, and he had a bunch of homemade polearms that I'm scared to name because I'm positive I'll get the names mixed up.
He is a real great friend of mine, and basically a meme in our little corner of campus.
Several months back, some joker friend picked the 5th of February to be National Ayrton Day, and 100 people so far have declared themselves as coming, with 1000 invited in total. On this day, His mates are going to sell a bunch of AYRTONDAY 2016 mugs, Ayrton themed cupcakes and Ayrton-printed couch-pillow covers.
Ayrton has no idea what the fuck is happening any more, but he's rolling with it.
I wish I could be as fascinating a person as Ayrton.
Be more like Ayrton, people.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Oh, and he has his own faction of medieval combat reenactors, called the Ayrtonites.
I swear every word of this is true.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Definitely Lunar.
I am kinda bland IRL, to be perfectly honest. All the stuff about me that's interesting is not the kind of stuff that ever comes up in Normal Human Interaction.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I'm a little flummoxed you remembered that.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I find you entertaining to talk to, so yeah.
To be more specific, I'm allergic to sulfanomides in antibiotics.
A rare condition called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. It basically turned my lips, tongue, mouth and throat into one bit ulcerous lump of mucus and pus.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Spaz doesn't want a peaceful existence.
The worst part was that the ulcer and mucus merged with the flesh of the tongue - it was hard to tell where the goo ended and tongue began.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I get the feeling that if we ever fought in real life, you'd kick my arse.
I went to the hospital.
I read some great magazines for about two hours.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I mean, I know karate, and I can move and react fast once the adrenaline starts pumping, but no amount of clever elbow strikes are going to save me from the first big fella that throws me on the ground and stomps my kidneys flat.

Oh god I found some old pie drawings.
I will have you know I have always been a sucker for really fucking awful puns.

And birds, apparently.
Have you ever wanted to beat your past self's head in with a rock?
