I too am astounded by all the gossipy sensationalism of these latest installments! Clearly, like you, I need to up my fiction game. As they say, the difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense. :P

Alternatively, "Truth is always strange, stranger than fiction." --Lord Byron, who would know.

Please tell me you know all the good Byron anecdotes, selenak; I mostly only know they exist. Something about keeping a bear at college because they wouldn't let him bring his dog, but there were no rules against bears. Probable sex with his sister. Things like that.
