it's pretty fucking annoying, but I think I'm at the home stretch and soon enough it'll be back to present tense.

ya rly! and it's especially annoying because well, you know how OCD I get about vocabulary repetition. but seriously, no matter HOW MANY DIFFERENT VERBS I USE, THERE'S A 'HAD' IN EVERY ONE! and one can only throw so many contractions in a paragraph before one is PRETTY MUCH SPEAKING IN CIPHER.
