Yeah yeah, we're always saying we don't write from our own lives, we make shit up, and 98% of the time that's true. But sometimes, something comes out of a writer's mouth and they stop ad say "okay, I need to use that in something, somewhere, at some point....

"Because someone is not inclined to cause harm, do not mistake them for a pacifist."
