You are in your way?

(Oh, that reminds me... "Of course it's artificial.  How many names 
 do you see sprout from the ground?" and "Dark Chocolate" - Laugh out
 loud funny, great, funny like a clown... oh, never mind, you probably 
 don't want to hear about that right now.)

I had wondered myself whether the Malks on the list were getting to cozy
with their own mental status quo, now I  don't.  I've seen them jink and
jag and crumble.  Give them a little time and you'll see that they'll be
fine on their own, if you're willing.

I was going to write something on how humor and Malkavians mix.  I wish I 
had time for that... here's the main points:
1) A sense of humor is a natural sign of good mental health.
2) It makes sense, said as a side statement or a pun.  If you laugh at it,
    that's your problem.
2) Malkavians see connections and happen to mention them.  There's a lot 
    of seeing and not mentioning going on, you just never hear about it.

I was also thinking about getting anon to tell the tale behind the Clan
weakness (it's hospitality, by the way, not insanity as others may say).
Neither of us has the time though... maybe next time or maybe someone 
else could tell it.

Next to the last thing:

I just wanted to share this link - you may not like it, I think it's 
supposed to be funny... why don't you try and view it as serious, though.
After all, if the funnyboy court jesters can take something serious as
being funny, I'm sure you can do the reverse.

Last thing:
I'm here on my own time.  When I punch the clock, I'll break some 
mirrors.  
Now, I'm happy with just watching the shards fall where they may.  
Tomorrow, maybe,  I'll pick up the pieces to do it all over again, 
just not here and now.
