Still I can't get it out of my mind what a discrepancy there is between ideas and living. A permanent dislocation, though we try to cover the two with a bright awning. And it won't go. Ideas have to be wedded to action; if there is no sex, no vitality in them, there is no action. Ideas cannot exist alone in the vacuum of the mind. Ideas are related to living: liver ideas, kidney ideas, interstitial ideas, etc. If it were only for the sake of an idea Copernicus would not have smashed the existent macrocosm and Columbus would have foundered in the Sargasso Sea.
-Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer

If there is in fact, a heaven and a hell, all we know for sure is that hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix — a clean well lighted place full of sunshine and bromides and fast cars where almost everybody seems vaguely happy, except those who know in their hearts what is missing...

Miller's avowed aim, as he states it in Cancer, is "to put down everything that goes on in my noodle" without self-censorship. Miller shows how, by choosing the way you describe your life, you can create the consciousness that you desire. Without waiting for the world to change, you can change who you are by the stories you tell yourself and others about who you are.

Poetry is not magic... but a form of truth telling that should disenchant and disintoxicate.

A mademoiselle on a lovely questionable forum I post at posted in somebody else's "looking for a romantic partner" thread that she'd date me if I was single, local, and gay/bi. One of the guys on the forum once tried to think of a word to describe an attraction to me kinda like (mynickname)phile. Mwahahaha. And the guy who let me mod his forum also kind of tried to hit on me (poorly).

Yes, the internet loves me.

I'm bored.

I keep pondering things about love and the nature of it and my interactions with it and other things...funny how I keep doing that in spite of everything so reassuring and nice right now, and everything I write is so jaded and disdaining. Logic. Stupid puny humans. I am also thinking about words, and writing, and persons, and loving words and wording loves and coffee and/or sex.

Why yes, Patrick, you. I also want to go to a bookstore.

I'm kind of Aluris-ish right now...pigtails, computer addicted, all in black, isolationist, yet...nice. However, unlike Aluris, I am friggen broke. I need to buy things from a Walgreens or something but I spent all my cash already and they won't take SunDollars. I also keep skipping meals. I'm ahead with my homework. Psychology is a fun class to play with...I should be more on topic in discussion, but it's so fun...I feel dreamy right now. Possibly due to bloodloss. I keep forgetting to eat, but I just said that a minute ago. Ah, joy...

Addiction.

GUESS WHAT?!! My entries now have a NEW feature: Question of the day. It is a thought provoking question that I want someone to discuss or something or the other. Also I'm thinking about making a comm. soon...So I can meet more people, and such...because everyone I know uses LJ.

Question: True or false: Women give sex to gain love, and men give love to gain sex. Why is this statement true/untrue. Discuss.
