"Riz, I can smell that cocktail from here! What's in it!" I asked.
"Rum, vodka, whisky, absinthe...." Riz replied while sat upside down, tail dropped over his face.
"Did you #measure it out properly?"
"If ya mean by da bucket, den yeh."
"Explains it all."

allowing an 'i need to be bored timeout'.. got lost down two astrological holes. still deep. search 'humanistic astrology'.. put your birthday in-time. place. it helps explain human behavior & lifepaths. plan to write about it. if i let myself be bored i grow. i find 'being bored' a gift nowadays..

Sometimes I shrink
Sometimes I grow
My name is Alice
If you didn't know
Drink me. Eat me
Result's always the same.
I shrink down very small
And then I grow again
My height's hard to #measure
Changing size all the time
I'm shrinking again
That's the end of the rhyme

"Of fukin course! I can't give up on da #literature masterpiece of our times!" Riz replied.
"I think we have different thoughts on what that means."

"I see Riz is making himself a new costume," Valarie commented.
"What costume?" I asked.
"Err, a rat sized Judge Dredd outfit? Oh...."
"Yeah, we better run..."
"Hold it!" Riz shouted "I am da #law!"
"Too late?" Valarie asked.
"Too late," I said with a sigh.

"Because it was funny watching Alice wash your mouth out with soap for your foul #language?" Valarie admitted.

"Y botha? We deal wit da trouble, den get paid," Riz replied.

AIs can’t recreate nuance or layered meanings. It’s like trying to create a sculpture with a sledgehammer instead of a chisel.

The novel you put your soul into will end up sounding like IKEA instructions.
