a conversation from yesterday:

"I just bought a book about how the real difference between humans and animals isn't rational thought, but the ability to weave stories—to reinvent and re-categorize our memories into digestible chunks with plot and purpose and characters and everything. This idea is studied through looking at autistic children and, I don't know, I've always considered myself vaguely autistic—maybe that's the reason."

"Are you sure it's not all the acid you took when you were twelve?"
