    Unhappy Most moving thing I've read all year

    http://www.outpostnine.com/editorials/owl.html

    Not safe for work BTW....at least not if you're as much of a soppy git as me, I had tears in my eyes by the end. Luckily all my co-workers had gone home

    The rest of the guy's editorials about his time in Japan are well worth a read:

    The entry for 3/9/05 made me cry for entirely different reasons

    Oh Rave, I love you, I truly, truly do...

    I'd read all of these a few months bak, and lost the link. And the lack of Kancho-ing made me sad. But now thanks to, you I can enjoy it in all its glory.

    thought that was really nice of her. made him stop remarking on the most random stuff ever. a nice change, i think, even if his usual b****ings are funny.

    He has no emotions. His heart is nothing more than a solid lump of iron hewn by the dark into a volvo badge.
