"if i go down in a plane i'll go to hell,
but i'll leave all my shit to my friends in a will.
you can have my crown vic.
you could have my debt.
you could have my weakness and my regrets.
sweetheart take your dumptruck memories
and bury them in the cold cold ground.
i'll come back for some deadman's lovin'.
you'll need to come.
i'll need to throttle down.
it's goin' down."

a million little pieces, my friend leonard, the perks of being a wallflower, anything by francesca lia block [especially echo, the hanged man, violet and claire, and wasteland], anything by chuck palahniuk, white oleander, smack, she's come undone, speak, cut, junky, the bell jar, and no more prisons [urban life, homeschooling, hip-hop leadership, the cool rich kids movement, a hitchhiker's guide to community organizing, and why philanthropy is the greatest art form of the 21st century].
