Ty: You think so, Ty? I often feel a mean third-grader could take me. Jim: It's nothing new, Jim. I think it's the same problem you've had with me all along and you're absolutely right. That's exactly how you're supposed to feel because that's how I feel, Jim. I don't know what the fuck is going on! I am a million people and I commit to none - I can't. I'm not sure why, but that's unlikely to change. I kind of like it that way and I know of at least one other person who does, too. I am easy with expressing feelings and hard with opinions and taking a stand, I've no doubt that comes across in the writing. The title was a clue. Sometimes I just need to puke on the page. I don't know. I kind of feel like apologising, but I'm not going to. Thanks for telling me exactly what you think, though, I appreciate that more than anything. Conventionally, I'm sure you're absolutely right. Xtx: Funny enough, that’s just how I feel about you.

And this is a problem I've had with a couple of your more recent pieces. It's not simply that I'm being asked to provide meaning - that's a given - but you're requiring me to do some of the writing, to fill in the details that I think are missing as opposed to interpreting what you've provided.
