    "Pfft. I got bills to pay, yo."

    The difference is subtle, but, in my opinion, lighter.

    Also, as someone with a degree in archaeology, I am really keen to see what you do with this.

    Degree in archaeology. Damn I should never have used a quasi real world theme. I suck at reality ! I failed to show up for that course. Oh my God my Ignorance will be laid bare for the whole world to see! Uhmm is there going to be a pop quiz I need to study for ??"please say no , please say no !! Seriously though I may have to pick your brain when I get to the narrative sections of this journal map ! If you don't mind of course !
