About Me



"The dream I find most compelling is one of an adrogynous and genderless (but not sexless) society, in which one's sexual anatomy is irrelevant to who one is, what one does, and with whom one makes love."--Gayle Rubin

"I do not understand you, any more than you have understood me."--Marquis de Sade

"I met the Surgeon General...he offered me a cigarette."--Rodney Dangerfield

"Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?"--Ernest Gaines

"In a marketplace economy, freedom is only ever that which can be bought, never what one already has or is."--Sarah S. Jain

A slight case of the "fuck it"s

This weather is awful. Disassociation imminent. I think I'm going to bury myself in books until I leave the South Bay. Contact me if you want to see me before then.
