Awesomeness.

This was awesome. I can't think of any other way to put it.

I enjoyed it. I like writing that just follows the flow of thoughts. And, I like the idea that a tiny little thing like crackling paper is bothering the hell out of you; that happens to me sometimes. The cursing threw it off a bit, but maybe that's just me. And the simile of your thoughts/ideas as a mountain climber is awesome.
