Larisa

Evil requires the sanction of the victim. ~ Ayn Rand

About Me

I might think too much at certain times – and not enough at others. I like Ayn Rand quotes."Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men." ~ Ayn Rand
 

My Interests

Birds. Corn on the cob. Faking legitimacy and qualifications. Fine-tipped markers. Sitting by myself. Coffee. Confusion. The letter C. Not-so-subtle profile updates.
