  • Wikipedia editing (oh, the inane and petty arguments no one outside of the ‘pedia will ever care about…and this too)
  • TV Tropes (it will explode your tabs. Seriously.)
  • Reading manga online (the wasted night (and day? (days(s)?)) of archive binging)

He was talking on a phone as we walked each other. We looked at each other and complimented each other on excellent choice of shirt. I wonder what the odds of that happening are? If only I had taken Stats…
