You must acquire the trick of ignoring those who do not like you. In my experience, those who do not like you fall into two categories: The Stupid and The Envious. The Stupid will like you in 5 years time. The Envious, never.

There are no facts, only interpretations.
-Nietzsche
This life of ours, this is a wonderful life. If you can get through life like this, hey, that's great. But it's very, very unpredictable. There are so many ways you can screw it up.
-Paul Castellano
Fear not that your life will come to an end, but that it shall never have a beginning.

I AM NOT A ROLE MODEL AND I DON'T WANT TO BE ONE. Go away! If anything, I'm the last person in the world that should be a role model. Propelling eating disorders, anorexia, bulimia, unsafe sex, alcoholism, drug abuse, fashion, rock n' roll, etc. is fun! I AM SATAN INCARNATE!!! We're all going to hell anyway so why not enjoy our last remaining days on earth in drunken splendor?
-Bryanboy
Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me.
-Sarah Bernhardt
But this, in which there is no I or you, So intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand. So intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.
-Pablo Neruda
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is youhere is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars aparti carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Love is friendship set on fire.
-Jeremy Taylor
Allow me to be frank at the commencement. You will not like me. The gentlemen will be envious and the ladies will be repelled. You will not like me now and you will like me a good deal less as we go on. Ladies, an announcement: I am up for it, all the time. That is not a boast or an opinion, it is bone hard medical fact. I put it round you know. And you will watch me putting it round and sigh for it. Don't. It is a deal of trouble for you and you are better off watching and drawing your conclusions from a distance than you would be if I got my tarse up your petticoats. Gentlemen. Do not despair, I am up for that as well. And the same warning applies. Still your cheesy erections till I have had my say. But later when you shag - and later you will shag, I shall expect it of you and I will know if you have let me down - I wish you to shag with my homuncular image rattling in your gonads. Feel how it was for me, how it is for me and ponder. 'Was that shudder the same shudder he sensed? Did he know something more profound? Or is there some wall of wretchedness that we all batter with our heads at that shining, livelong moment. That is it. That is my prologue, nothing in rhyme, no protestations of modesty, you were not expecting that I hope. I am John Wilmot, Second Earl of Rochester and I do not want you to like me.
-Johnny Depp as Rochester in The Libertine

Partial to the Mafia genre.
I do enjoy the fine John Cusack and George Clooney. Tom Cruise is a nut. And I mean that in the worst way possible.

Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with.

Books:
I love books. More than I love you.
Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
Romeo and Juliet, Act III, Scene II
Heroes:
Johnny Kammeyer for saying he would drive me to Seatac at the crack of dawn. Only a true pal would do that! And for making me his drink guinea pig (I know how to spell it, ha!)And for being the voice of reason and being the only person who could calm me down. And for making me cry, in a good way, of course!
H-dawg for driving me to Seatac and to CL, for many words of wisdom, for encouraging me NOT to drink!!, for replying to my texts, and for cooking up the best paella west of the Mississippi!!
Jules for being a swell gal, passing on a message, encouraging me to meet quality peeps, and setting up the date of a lifetime...
E I'll deny this til the day I croak if you ever see this, cuz Leon don't do feelings...you mean the world to me, you are my everything...
XOXO to y'all!!!!
Myself.
And Pamela Anderson.
Maybe some Carmen Electra and Jenna Jameson.
And a bit of Marilyn.
Can't forget Jordan aka Katie Price.
