Mini Bio

About My Journal
I enjoy adding and being added by random people. I have a lot of people who have been on my list for years, and the majority of them have been random adds. I add back pretty much everyone who adds me, as long as you're interesting and don't seem like an asshole or drama magnet. I generally don't keep people on my list if they don't add me back, not because I think everyone should be my "friend", but because I find most journals are only interesting if I have at least a minimal connection with the people who write in them. I write about pretty much everything that's going on in my life and in my head (sans personal info), and I've found I'm much more honest with people I don't "know" than I am with people I know in real life.

Just so you know, there's a lot of profanity and mature content in my journal. With the exception of some minor grammatical editing, everything I post is my unexpurgated stream-of-consciousness, and I prefer not to censor myself.

Note: I just removed a bunch of people who haven't updated in a long time. If you're still using your journal or would still like to be able to read mine, just let me know!

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.
~Ken Kesey

There is more to this thing of love than meets the eye. I am going to have to think about this a great deal but I don't think it will get me anywhere. I think maybe they're all right when they say there are some things I won't know anything about until I'm older. But if it makes you like to eat all kinds of wurst I'm not sure I'm going to like this.
~ Louise Fitzhugh, Harriet the Spy

I am ashamed to think how easily we capitulate to badges and names. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

One must be for ever drunken: that is the sole question of importance. If you would not feel the horrible burden of Time that bruises your shoulders and bends you to the earth, you must be drunken without cease. But how? With wine, with poetry, with virtue, with what you please. But be drunken.
~Charles Beaudelaire

It is of interest to note that while some dolphins are reported to have learned English -- up to fifty words used in correct context -- no human being has been reported to have learned dolphinese. ~ Carl Sagan

It is an illusion that youth is happy, an illusion of those who have lost it; but the young know they are wretched, for they are full of truthless ideals which have been instilled into them, and each time they come in contact with the real, they are bruised and wounded.
~ W. Somerset Maugham, Of Human Bondage

Just when you think you're too paranoid, you find out you're not paranoid enough.
~ Johnny Smith, The Dead Zone

A man destined for high things can dip into the lowest depths of the bloody, drunken chaos of life, and soil himself with much dust and blood, without becoming small and common, without killing the divine spark within himself, that he can err through the thickest darkness without extinguishing the divine light and the creative force inside the shrine of his soul.
~Hermann Hesse

Real life sucks losers dry. If you want to fuck with the eagles, you have to learn to fly.
~ Heathers
