About Me

I'm an asshole. I apparently sometimes use big words to bully people around... mostly ontology, epistemology and tautology. I was once upon a time told I was pretentious (as a result of comment above), so I try really hard to not ever be pretentious, this has resulted in my not ever speaking. I like observing the social situations that I'm in as my form of participation, this apparently gives the impression that I'm an asshole that is too good for anyone present, I'm really just too spent from dealing with the many voices of myself that are arguing in my head. (Why is it that as much as I hate Lacan I keep finding bits and pieces of his argument to be true?) I used to be a feminist. I used to be a marxist. I used to be a postmodernist. Now I just try to avoid being, and struggle with my own certainty over the copula and and the meanings of feminist, marxist, postmodernist. I'm starting to think that there is a relation between struggle with copulation and struggle with the grammatical certainty of the copula. I'm beginning to give up many of my intellectual and academic interests in pursuit of amassing foreign languages, I've taken lots, but never use any. I have the least fear of death of anyone I've met, and I don't understand people's concern regarding the subject.

My Interests

Books - Specifically: Non-Fiction: Critical Theory - Postmodern Theory - Michel Foucault - Jacques Derrida - Jacques Lacan - Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari - Slavoj Zizek Fiction: Russian Literature (Obsessed with Fyodor Dostoyevsky) - David Foster Wallace - Will Self - David Eggers Music - Hardcore Indie Emo No-wave New-Wave and occasionally video games

I'd like to meet:

Nobody. This is just so that I can talk to friends I already have on here. At home I'm in love, on the internet I feel sick about all of the people searching for "There is Something of One". Dive in. Do it. There's nothing magical, there's nothing predestined, there's nothing without work, let go of your chivalrous illusions, embrace desperation and yourself and as we are all true narcissists, love or the illusion of it will follow.

My Blog

Can't Wake Up

It has been a wierd day for reminiscing for me. I'm not really sure why. It might be the new music that I'm listening to, and the way that it acts as a mirror back several years. It is funny how much ...
