Repetition

I say the same things - one day you will too, 'Any snakes? Is she ugly or what?' Just a few, 'aaaiiiooo! Anyone would think you're a big officer.' 'Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit' - was that Oscar? He came for tea, earnestly, Ogden with his mint-julap, Bent, my Danish friend, who said: 'You're the master of small talk,' we said that, ' We keep it simple so that you will understand.' Between all of us, cynicism paled into insignificance, Oscar was unfazed until we reminded him of orientation, 'My dear boy, isn't it time that you stopped repeating yourself, otherwise you surely will get left on the shelf,' Oscar sloped off, Bent had enough, Ogden with alliteration, above his station, with animation, me still repetition.

Nice. It's different than what I'm used to. You are an artist. As such maybe you could instead of showing angst, direct me. I don't know just a suggestion. I am of feelings and at times becomes a disease. If I offended you I apologize. But I never intentionally hurt peoples feelings. Though usually I'm either dying or dead. Tough to Gage, the difference that is.

Hey Mark - how are you? Not so much angst - I like to explore all avenues. Together, we can kill the world! With your depth and my perspicacity we have a great formula. If you lighten up a bit then you are best. Cheers, keep in touch.
