Lol, pacing for 44 minutes writing poetry.

Do you do the same when you write?

I've been binge watching Transformers Armada. Yesterday, I saw a truck with the tag IRNHIDE. I thought that was awesome! It's been years since I've watched G1.

Caught up in Demon Slayer. Just need to watch the new movie, Infinity Castle. I love the ending theme, "Eikyuu -Tokoshie"-. Listening to it is making me want to write darker poetry if/when the words come to me.
