Today I have be reinstated to the position of "hub". As a point of fact this whole week has been somewhat of an ego booster for your fair pirate and poetess. I have been told such things as that I "exude excitement" and that I have a "magnetic personality." It is dangerous to stroke my ego as such, because if too many people do it I begin to actually believe them.

Methinks any "hubness" I might appear to have is brought on by my inability to fit into any one particular group and therefore my desperate grabbings onto individuals who are easily taken in by someone who is genuinely interested in them.

At any rate I hope peoples will continue to be happy with me because I really feel like everybody has been too nice recently and it all has to fall down sometime soon like a house made of so many cards.

In other news I am sick like a bug which makes me angry because it is break and I intended to have many exciting adventures over said break. Instead there have been many times I was quite sure I was dying. Also the curses of womanhood are upon me in all their raging glory. Furthermore in my feeble health and at the risk of my very life I went to feed a cat today and in the course of playing with it... it scratched me. An irony indeed that I should die just when I seem to be returning to the former glory of my blissful youth. Such is life. Faretheewell dear readers, and pray that my death will not be too drawn out or painful.
