"I strive to help everyone find happiness in this world. I like to look for things no one else catches & I hate the way nobody ever looks at the road in old movies. I like to amuse myself with silly questions about the world, such as "How many people are having an orgasm right now?"...fifteen"
I like to write, sew, draw, paint, read, make music, make friends, art around..
I like people and things that are July-esque, which is to say: infused with wonder at the things of the world.

DIY zines and comics
Woody Allen is funny, too. ^_^

Currently reading Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce, & The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Want to read Ulysses & 1984 & Brave New World reeeal soon.
Those countless gender theory texts are no longer the bane of my existence. Though I'm still interested in them, It's just sort of intense/insane.
One day I'll bring myself to read my Father's book...& War and Peace.
I quite admire Marx, Engels, Fisk, and Baudrillard, among others.
"Actually, if limousines were extremely long, they wouldn't need drivers. You could just get in the back seat, walk through the limousine, and then get out of the front seat, which would be where you wanted to go.
Now that I'm thinking about it, they could make an incredibly long limousine that had its back seat at your mom's VJ and its front seat at your mausoleum, and it would be as long as your life."
-JSF.
People who never lose their childlike wonder at the world.
I think the Beatles said it right (they said a lot of things right) when they said "Life is very short there is no time for fussing and fighting my friends" :) That seems like a good thing to keep in mind. ALSO...
