Did you ever try to write a song for Xander?

Don't ask. Just don't fuckin' ask. I don't write my own songs - never have. Just because I say I never have doesn't mean I haven't tried. I've filled pages and pages with the biggest collection of festering crap known to man or demon. I've worn out pens. All right, all right - I break the pens long before they run out.

You're aware that nothing rhymes with "Xander," right? Seriously - nothing worth having in a song, anyway. Maddening, that. Even when I was a human, I was a hack poet - follows that I'd be a hack songwriter. Early days, I stuck to cover songs, and later on Xan found me up-and-coming writers. It works.

There's plenty I'd like to say to him that way, but I can't. Think I'll go break some more pens now.
