Prithee and well met, thou tempestuous witch of storms, to alight so delicately upon the jet streams of the cerulean sky. Welcome to Spirit Airlines.
And now I'm struck with the strangest and most inconveniently timed urge to postpone my plans for original stuff and go back to Harmony.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
It should come as little surprise to any of you that I have a tendency to wax poetic in my blogs, primarily because I have a tendency to wax poetic in everything I write. My style has always leaned towards the verbose side of things, and it's a trait that I've gotten better at corralling as the years have gone by.

That being said, this is something that I've just now recently come to a decision about, and in light of how much the episode this morning could very well have been a series finale given its tone and plot elements, this seems as good a time as ever to announce it here. So, without further ado, here's a
