Quote of the Day
While at Jorian's place, I uttered the following quote concerning my quotes page (that includes lots of my own quotes) and the narcissism it entails:
"There's a sense of narcissim, but I do it for myself... [pause] Oh wait! That is narcissism!"
The massively-cyclic nature of the whole thing really kicks the cool up a notch.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost certainly the most meta- quote in my collection.
ReplyDeleteAnd for people who weren't there, I should explicitly point out that the entire quote was accidental.
