It was said the other day that I was "desperate for attention" because I asked someone for input on a short story I'd written.
I said, "You don't have to like it. I'd just like feedback."
Sigh. |

| I liked August Rush...though I thought the scenes with August/Evan feeling overwhelmed in New York were a total sensory overload. Which is kind of a good thing, because it showed how Evan felt about being alone in the city in a very accurate and personal manner. I watched "Pan's Labyrinth" the other... |

I'd like to pose a question to those of you who think that destroying non-sentient machines is "genocide".
Are any of you vegetarians? |

| I used to be emo without realizing it. From the ages of 14 to 17, I had a serious problem with self-mutilation that eventually landed me in crisis rehabilitation. Thing is, I wasn't doing it for attention. I was doing it because I wanted to feel anything, even if it was physical pain. I still dress ... |

I am a Confirmed Catholic [entirely against my will]...and I think that being forced to believe in god is part of the reason I despise relig... |

Ugh. Poeticromance...I so totally... |

People can assign inanimate objects names and personalities, but that doesn't mean those objects actually possess those names and values. I mean, I named my guitar, but only because I wanted to have something to call it by. I ... |

The scariest experience for me was stopping in Grand Central Terminal in New York City when I was traveling to visit my ex-boyfriend in Upstate NY. So crowded--I got major sensory overload and ended up having a panic attack.
Not fun.  |
