Not really, just a long time addiction. I'm not kidding myself over that.

I enjoy both equally to be honest. There's days where I love going for a walk, particularly if it is very hot and there's days where I enjoy just sitting inside.

Okay-dokey.

Just trying to engage in some nice conversation, instead of the usual hostile atmosphere between us. Good luck if you quit some day, I suppose.

I didn't notice any hostility, tbh. Carry on.

I certainly don't see it as hostile. If I don't agree I don't agree, and that's all there is to say on the matter. Nothing personal, really. Seems we only agree on LGBT rights, but that's OK, since that's at least a solid foundation.

I'm not some man of the woods lumberjack type outdoors person, but I do generally not want to stay within any one building for as long as a full day.

The one exception being when I'm ill, and I tend to just want to hibernate.

I spend a good bit of time out of doors, but I try to not bother Mother Nature overmuch. That is to say, a stroll through town or the local parks is nice, but I'm not about to take up camping.

It was 114 fucking degrees here, yesterday.

That's what in real money? About a third, isn't it? As opposed to last year, we have a rather mild summer so far. Nothing over 32 degrees. Last year we were pushing 40. But august is yet to come.

We're 'murricans.  We can't be bothered with that metric shit.

That's for you commies!

I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
And sleep at will
And not have to go through
What I go through
I guess I should take Prozac, right?
And just smile all night
At somebody new
Somebody not too bright
But sweet and kind
Who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
Which is just what I'd do
If I wanted to
But I don't want to get over you

'Cause I don't want to get over love
I could listen to my therapist
Pretend you don't exist 
And not have to dream of
What I dream of
I could listen to all my friends
And go out again
And pretend it's enough
Or I could make a career of being blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
Like I was seventeen
That would be a scream
But I don't want to get over you

Clove cigarettes are fucking terrible.
Some many times whilst in Indonesia I was tricked.
Even once I bought a bag of pot in Jakarta and it was mixed with cloves.
Funny story, a couple of weeks after that experience, I bought some pot from an English backpacker in Malaysia and I commented on how mouldy it was and where did he get it? He said it was from Vietnam. I asked him if he was fucking crazy taking it over the border. He informed me that it was all cool cause he had smuggled it up his arse. :-)
