A weblog by Hao Lian.
A terrible secret guarded by golems.
A note that thanks you for being born, all those years ago.

The allure of a mean friend.

  • Candyman: Oh, my parents can drive us Friday.
  • Me: Great. I will expect both your parents to be there.
  • Me: I will not get into the car for anything less.
  • Candyman: Then I guess you’ll walk.
  • Candyman: It’ll help you lose some of those pounds.
  • Me: You should learn to drive instead. It’ll help you earn some money driving around other people with your broke-ass chaffeur self.
  • Candyman: So says Mr. I’m So Poor I Get Financial Aid.
  • Me: Which I hear is a major at your school these days.
  • Candyman: Acutally, it might be.
  • Candyman: We have a “make your own major” department.
  • Me: You could get a PhD in being an awful person.
  • Candyman: That’s one more subject I can get a PhD in.
