I Write Sins... Not Tragedies 7 - Hotel California
As my eyes flow upon the message that is asking for help regarding something absolutely trivial, my hands starts itching and my leg starts bouncing. My fingers start writing and my mind start constructing any and all excuses to solve this in the most unorthodox and idiotic way.
