I had 8 sessions today with no breaks other than a few minutes between. Gonna take the biggest piss.

I have two things to say.
1) I love you guys. Like specifically this community. I feel like I’ve known you forever.
3) I’m excited for Wuthering Heights. Every time they release something new about it I get more excited. I can’t help it.
Thanks. I feel better.
