The title quote comes from Steph and a conversation that took place before heading to the hi-dive almost two months ago.

Obviously I have many more (tap tap) "in my head". Life has been exceedingly busy and equally spectacular the last few months...feel free to ask for your own live version of insipid. I'll happily talk about the shows seen, the skateboarding done, the prom dresses worn, the hair clapped and the biker clapping, the robberies witnessed, the poems processed...you get the idea. all true stories, all the time...
