I'm bored so here's your chance to -2 rape me.
I'm considered by most my friends to be something of a wordsmith; weaving multisyllabic words into cogent and thoughtful statements is kind of my 'thing'. I have a degree in English and work as an editor for a small publication in the middle of fucking nowhere, so often times I find myself mentally masturbating and this is the latest byproduct of such activity.
(FYI - there is no cumming in mental masturbation. Not for me. Perhaps I'm not stimulating my cerebral G-spot enough?)

You've been around for quite a while, about as long as me. I didn't lurk nearly as long of course.

Note: you're not nearly as clever, well-read, intelligent, or amusing as you seem to think you are.

"You seem pompous."
... I'd be lying if I said I've never heard that before. I think I'm likeable barring the pomposity, though.
