I am standing in a wide open space with a slow-motion volcano in my heart.
'Zaziel, necessarily desirous
Paul Eluard: I have not always had this certainty, this pessimism which reassures the best among us. There was a time when my friends laughed at me. I was not the master of my words. A certain indifference, I have not always known well what I wanted to say, but most often it was because I had nothing to say. The neccessity of speaking and the desire not to be heard. My life hanging only by a thread.
There was a time when I seemed to understand nothing. My chains floated on the water.
All my desires are born of my dreams. And I have proven my love with words. To what fantastic creatures have I entrusted myself, in what dolorous and ravishing world has my imagination enclosed me? I am sure of having been loved in the most mysterious of domains, my own. The language of my love does not belong to human language, my human body does not touch the flesh of my love. My amorous imagination has always been constant and high enough so that nothing could attempt to convince me of error.

| squirrelx profile - diary |
| comments: I have a hard time believing she's real and I want to practice my incredulity. I suspect this is written by members of the Squirrel Anti-Defamation League. I'm jealous of their quote hoard. |

| Dean Martin |
| comments: As a child, I wanted to grow up to be an amalgam of Dean Martin, Cary Grant, Mark Twain, Leonardo da Vinci, Tarzan and the Count of Monte Cristo, with Yannick Noah's ass. My boyfriends would be the Hardy Boys and my best girl would be Dorothy Parker |

| The 14th Edition of the ENCYCLOP�DIA BRITANNICA |
| comments: Not a movie (duh.) 1929. Before the Great Depression, before Hitler, before the atomic bomb. No Israel. No computers. Pages and pages under Freemasonry and Aesthetics, 3 paragraphs under Einstein and Freud. Did ya think our world was immortal? |

| comments: A movie! Won the Oscar for Best Short Animated Film in 1988. |
| ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST |

| comments: CAGES. (Did I mention I love books with lots of pictures?) A coup de ma�tre. (Well, I couldn't say "masterpiece" again, could I?) |
| Saki |
| comments: The short stories. Gems of wickedness. Candy for your inner-child, if your inner-child is half-beast. Or half-angel. Which amounts to the same thing. |
| THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY |
| comments: Yeah, yeah, I know it's a movie. I still want to grow up to be Sam Marlowe. |
| Ricardo Pinto |
| comments: The Stone Dance of the Chameleon |
| Harlan Ellison |
