“… I had a cigarette after I wrote the longest letter I've written in a while (that was part of the reason I wanted a cigarette; there's also the fact that since my junior year in high school I've been telling myself no cigarettes after I graduate from college, and I intend to hold myself to that, so, might as well get it while I can).” »
