Reading for the sake of a thirst that is never quenched, Writing for the sake of expressing what I think I can't express, reactionary anarchy, dystopian culture, conundrums, the bitchy halves of siamese twins, satire, fashion, black humor, talking gorillas with post apocalyptic messages about the ecosystem, prostitutes of the mind, death cults, former models missing their lower mandible, I want to travel everywhere before I drop dead of some sort of cancer, the physics of how someone can stab themself in their own heart, hamsters who do cute things like exist, the processes of mortuary science, sexaholics anonymous, being a cute girl with fucked up notions of life, love and happiness, the russian language, the sweet stylings of accordian music, the cold hard truth of science, taxidermied animals and vintage things
I'd like to meet:
Not Brangelina for god's sake. Give me a fucking break.
