I only add people whose journals genuinely interest me.
Please at least know who Nick Cave is, okay? My entries
are about TMI a lot of times, and gushing about Mr. Cave,
Clive Barker...and random crap that amuses me.

(More for my own use later, but you all must visit if you never have.)

How I never found http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/ is beyond me. Apparently, nouse4anick_00 has some good (non-porn) links he hasn't been sharing with me. I may have stumbled across that site in the past and forgotten about it, as it seems somewhat familiar.

5:30 am, time for Nick to get up and for me to go to bed!

Love and cat purrs,

Seriously, I am obsessed with thrifthorror. You post pics of weird things you find at thrift stores. I took 28 pics and posted there.

PLEASE comment on my amazing finds. They will crack you up. Or make you hate me. Either way, worth your time.

ETA: Some GORGEOUS chick there said I'm "really pretty". Made my night, especially since the pic of me in the post is totally weird.

When I was like 11, I was OB-FUCKING-SESSED with Macaulay Culkin in My Girl, holy crap. He was my first celebrity crush. I played make believe that Thomas J (his My Girl character) lived in the blackberry bushes behind my grandparents' house. I would throw pb&j sandwiches over there for "him" to eat. WTF. Haha. I also had my first real girl crush on Vada. BIG TIME.

Macaulay Culkin now? WOOF and GAG.

Who was your first celebrity crush?

Travels in the Scriptorium
by Paul Auster



I was drawn into this beautifully-written, mysterious story from the very first page. I immediately felt for Mr. Blank, struggling to figure out who he was, where he was, and why. As the story unfolded and more and more characters came and went (not being familiar with Auster's other works, I did not realize they were from his previous works), and Mr. Blank read the unfinished manuscript he discovered in the room with him, a hundred theories went through my head.

When the book ended, I didn't know what to make of the book's conclusion. Who was Mr. Blank? I felt like the question had not been answered. Yet, I knew a book this masterfully and elegantly written had to have a point. Therefore, I did something I have NEVER done before - I immediately turned to page one and read the book all the way through again (this being a 145 page book, it wasn't a big investment).

Upon second reading, Mr. Blank's true nature became clear to me, as did the true meaning behind the manuscript and the room itself.

( SPOILER ALERT: conclusions about this book )

I rarely am this satisfied by books (ever since Clive came into my life, that is). This little book, however, is well-deserving of the 5/5 star rating I gave it on Amazon. Hands-down, one of the most elegantly-written pieces I've ever read, and I've read tons.
