Old Age Is Like A Semicolon

Forgive me while I take a small peek back at my embarassingly sci-fi-tinged teenaged angst, but I just want to say how sad I am that Kurt Vonnegut has died. I discovered him somewhere around tenth grade and spent most of the time I was supposed to be studying reading his novels. He made me want to be a writer, say important things, and be funny. My favorite Vonnegut quote in this piece: "When Hemingway killed himself he put a period at the end of his life; old age is more like a semicolon."
