Naturally, this would be the best venue to take the proverbial swing at it. "It" being undefined in general statements by those such as the elusive "they" everyone is so found of quoting, yet we both know that it feels neigh insurmountable at this point. While we shuffle through the humdrum of pointless posts of overstated insecurities, let me pose a thought for consideration: Why join the masses in the same tediousness when we both know what the end result will be?

Ah, see! now you're thinking. But let's not make the common mistake of confusing courage with foolishness. You may need a bit of both.

To the point, which I fear would go completely ignored if you were to continue this way. Diarrhea of the mouth is best left for talking heads and aspiring reporters.

If you're going to do this, then do it. Entertain me.

I do hate being bored.

Why am I not surprised that even as a guest in their little heads you are demanding?

[irregularities]

To consider myself a guest would be misleading. I'm a resident.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Permanent or temporary?

[irregularities]

That remains to be decided.

[womanwhobeatyou]

I suspect temporary.

[irregularities]

Suspect or hope?

[womanwhobeatyou]

Given how little it takes to provoke even John to punch you in the face? I think I have very good evidence.

[irregularities]

[ He can't help being popular. ]

And what of you? I imagine prolonged close quarters is...

...Interesting.

[womanwhobeatyou]

[If by 'popular' he means 'annoying', sure.]

Have I piqued your curiosity, Mr. Holmes?

[irregularities]

[ It's all the same; at the end of the day, they still know his name. ]

I am attempting to employ that which vexes my sensibilities.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Somehow I very much doubt that being in prolonged close quarters with the simple dears would vex anyone but yourself.

[irregularities]

On the contrary; I happen to know someone who has a similar hunger for the dramatic.

[ofgallifrey]

Oh, come on. That's your reaction to discovering you've been nothing but make believe? Nothing but a show for the masses to consume, nothing but a simple fairy tale or story people tell each other to entertain? The entire fourth wall falls down right before your eyes and you're bored?

[womanwhobeatyou]

Then perhaps you should ask them.

[irregularities]

I was under the impression that I am.

[womanwhobeatyou]

Should I be flattered?

[irregularities]

Debating the consequences of this new-found existentialism seems, to me, to be a waste of time. I exist. And as such, I will exist as I wish.

[irregularities]

Are you not usually?

[womanwhobeatyou]

Rarely by someone who knows what he's doing.

[irregularities]

And now you understand my position. Monotony has never been appealing.

[womanwhobeatyou]

You're making assumptions again, Mr. Holmes. Some of us know where to look for entertainment.

[irregularities]

The type and quality of entertainment is left to questioning. But I don't make assumptions; I state facts.

[ofgallifrey]

Well, that's one way to look at it. Very straight-forward, you are, Mr...?

[womanwhobeatyou]

And what facts have you deduced by now?

[irregularities]

Holmes. Sherlock Holmes.
