the human fur is burnt
I wanted the fire to rise off of its keeper and spit up its fury onto the cliffs
of their shoulders.  I wanted their trance-like curiosity to make the shape
of gray smoke and puff up the sacs of their lungs while they choked on
the swamp of their voyeurism.
I’m the magic and the [...]


I think obsessively.  About harmful things.  Long spiny things full of metal and salt.  I wish I’d stop thinking.  I’d wish the long windows of the earth would close to me and nothing would leak in for me to considerer.  But surely the clouds with clowns strapped to their moist tops riding them like cattle [...]

brand new, birth, a baby of life
my wise morning came after such strange dreams that were in conflict with what i requested.
chameleon, adaptation, adopt new knowledge
a man came to my door with a box of supplies.  building materials.  machines and chemicals of progress.
possible selves, curiosity, childlike
ooooh.  the robotic fingers and the whispered apologies and the [...]


together we stole from the ocean thirteen elephants who didn’t belong there.  we tied them to huge trees and set them on fire and watched them react without pain but rather the biting of their own trunks.  we smiled like how we thought an elephant might smile and then we walked away to catch a [...]


sometimes my right shoulder hurts really bad
sometimes i wake up at 11am and don’t eat until 2pm
sometimes i wake up at 11am and don’t get out of bed until 2pm
sometimes i think about how life would be better if i had a sister
sometimes i think about how life would be better if i didn’t grow [...]

kirk says, after having explained to him the nature of an amusement park planet created by a highly evolved species:  the more complex the mind the greater the need for the simplicity of play.
i like that.

introduction

07Feb09

i was introduced to the world
and the introduction continues.
do you understand why i have a lack of ears and eyes to open up to…
because i don’t want to move out into the world, i don’t like it very much.
i want people to come into mine
but you’d have to be willing to navigate the veins of [...]

how to do this at home???

i’ve been bending for a while towards the language but as if i haven’t
passed through it completely.  when does this light bend again?
or can i rely on the archaic fluids of opportunity to open me into halves…
two members [...]

Dreamy Idealist (DI)
Dreamy Idealists are very cautious and therefore often appear shy and reserved to others. They share their rich emotional life and their passionate convictions with very few people. But one would be very much mistaken to judge them to be cool and reserved. They have a pronounced inner system of values and [...]


Your Q Score is: 22
The Q score ideally should be as small as possible, indicating maximum agreement among elements. However, even a tiny Q score may not mean optimal functioning, since all four elements may in fact be relatively undeveloped.
Your Primary Mythical Creature
Water Types
The main strength of the Water types is feeling. The second element [...]



it must have something to do with support or lack of support or because the number of black spots on the walls of my blood-pumping heart is growing rapidly.  small heart attacks.  i’m healthy.  i’ve been eating well.  i take care of myself as much as i can.  but every time i trip up, slip [...]
