I am currently on the floor of North Station in Boston next to a trashcan eating McDonalds. I will be here for one more hour, and have been here for one prior- so basically I'm spending my life in North Station. There is a huge chance I will die here. I almost ate my own hand instead of paying for McDonalds because let's face it the economy is hard and I could spend that money on cheap booze.

I really need to go buy my ticket. I'm sitting next to a guy who is dressed in mostly pink and has a DSW bag, I think we're friends and I can trust him. I believe too much in the good of people, there's a large chance this work will be lost when he runs away with my computer and sells it for meth, or more shoes.
Gooooood news everybody (read that in a Professor Farnsworth voice) HE WASN'T A METH ADDICT- Jury is still out on if he's a shoe addict, all signs point to yes. I thanked him for being a wonderful stranger and now I'm going to watch his stuff while he gets more fries because that shit, much like meth is addicting.
Also I'm wearing a lot of purple today (there's no doubt you're
