institutionalized mania

About Me

There's a lot about myspace that makes me nauseous. I don't always like the glitz and the glitter, except on people or in my face, but the "myspace mania" is out of control. People who use it for craziness, deliciousness, and hilarity are worthwhile. Funny faces, sounds, and laughing. New ideas. Being sexy and disgusting. Tenderness. Causing trouble. I think I do these things sometimes, I'd like to do more. I'm also pretty smart. I think I'd like to try changing the world one day. I may be a secret hippy/optimist/romantic. my friends may recognize this, few others do.

My Interests

bikes, bike riding, bodies, dancing, hott drag, foucault, irigaray, walt whitman, night riding, mint tea, existentialism, robert frost, doggies and kitty cats (no joke)

I'd like to meet:

"The sick, irrational men, those who attempt to defend themselves against their disgustingness, when they see SCUM barreling down on them, will cling in terror to Big Mama with her Big Bouncy Boobies, but Boobies won't protect them against SCUM; Big Mama will be clinging to Big Daddy, who will be in the corner shitting in his forceful dynamic pants." Society for Cutting Up Men manifesto.
