Keep it simple, stupid.

I like it when things are what they are.

When they're not masquerading as something else, or you need to spend five minutes thinking about intent, metaphor or hidden meaning.

I like plays that I can understand, and books that can make me laugh and think and cry without wondering what it is actually all about.

I like poems that have a point, not annoyingly rhyming ones - those are still stupid. But ones that lead somewhere, not wander off and leave you wondering if the poet died mid-sentence.

I like brevity and simplicity and I wish people would understand that sometimes it's harder to find than things that are 'deep'.

I like when people say what they think and are not waiting for you to figure out their implications.

And I refuse to apologise for it anymore.
