"We become who we are through an intricate warp and weft of inheritance and experience too tightly interwoven ever to come unbound. If you could follow any one thread, unweave the patterns, where would it lead you?" --- I'm 20 going on 27 (that's when I'm going to die... death by Golden Gate Bridge... if you don't comprehend that, then good for you). I'm not extremely... or, well, at all easy to get along with, but some people manage. Pst. Good luck. --- In any respect, I'm open to pretty much everything. I'll try anything once, or whatever--except drinking blood or cerebrospinal fluid, or playing with spiders, or becoming fat, or a bunch of other stuff that is either unappealing, gross, or terrifying. --- I do a lot of things of which many would disapprove. Approve my ass if you don't like it. --- I love photography. I love writing. I love good movies, and studying cinema. I love neuroscience, the "physiology of behavior." I love psychopharmacology. I love you, hahaha no no no. --- Just like everyone else, I am superficial about many things, and if you add me, please don't be hideous or I won't add you back. I pretty much need to find you attractive (or, at the very least, decent) to even consider your friendship. So, yeah, I'm a horrible and wicked motherfucker. I know that, so no need to dwell, right? Right. --- I'm also a broken mirror. I'm just a fucked up image of you. And I'm sharp. And, oooh, pretty shards of glass. And so I enjoy being this aforementioned mirror... I'm bad luck... I'm a bitch (to sweep up)... and I'm entirely unique. You see, it's kind of like snowflakes... NO TWO MIRRORS SMASH ALIKE.
Who I'd like to meet: anyone who'll excite my fun-making receptors. let's be axodendritic--fire me some of that action potential, 'tickle' my synapse, secrete your transmitters, then do it all over again.
that, my friends, is what i like to call 'neuroscience made sexy'
I need $ensation to get my $timulation.
My $timulation.. it spells $ensation.
More---More---More of what??
In the evening, when I come home,
You ask me, What?? What did I say?? Well, I'm not gonna say.
Anno Domini, but ADD another D...
Attention Deficiency [ <--- That's me ]
I'm the Disease of the Century!!
But, ...I::don't::care...
"My image of the 'ghost,' including everything conventional about its appearance as well as its blind submission to certain contingencies of time and place, is particularly significant for me as the finite representation of a torment that may be eternal. Perhaps my life is nothing but an image of this kind; perhaps I am doomed to retrace my steps under the illusion that I am exploring, doomed to try and learn what I should simply recognize learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten."
- André Breton, Nadja
