I've learned that introductions are customary on the journals. I'm Effy. I can pick stuff up with my toes, like, not just socks and crap like that but big things. Ketchup bottles, ash trays, iPods. It’s a less useful skill than you’d think. I’m distantly related to a French aristocrat Cecile DeLacroix. She was beheaded during the French Revolution--her eyes carried on blinking for fourteen seconds after her head was severed from her neck.
