Welcome to the Un-Employed Philosophers Guild

About Me

"[W]e are all androgynous, not only because we are all born of a woman impregnated by the seed of a man but because each of us, helplessly and forever, contains the other-male in female, female in male, white in black, and black in white. We are a part of each other. . . . [N]one of us can do anything about it. -James Baldwin - *side note* Pascals Wagner was just trying to make you feel better about yourself for not going to church. There is no validity in his claim. -ANYWAYS...about me: you have to try really hard to be my friend because i am 1000 places at once. i really want to be yours. im not as pretty as everyone else. i hate elitism. i sometimes kiss on a first date. i have no gaydar. i own more chanel than you. i have a saks card; i never use it (until now because the only way i can get my discount is by using it). i like skulls. not because i think they make me edgy. because they represent the impermanence of human existence. i especially like day of the dead skeletons. i used to be a great speller but now i always have to second guess myself. i want to live in an small apartment in a big city surrounded by things that are old. i think the following words are sexy: ablutions, hegelian, Dickensian. i believe in m-theory, sort of. i feel bad for people who die in video games. i am a hippie. i had a van and it broke down. i believe in defenestrationism. i only like old money. hardwood floors are an example of this. i know when people are lying. always. i only learn by doing and i always want some one there to help. i think being nice is just the best.
