"I just stammered. That's the best I'll ever do. I mean, if I live. Well, it will be faithful realism, at least. Stammering is the native eloquence of us fog people."
- Long Day's Journey Into Night, Eugene O'Neill

"I grew up in the heat of 70s postmodern fiction and post-Godard films, and there was this idea that what mattered was the theory or meta in art. My film is emotional rather than meta, and that's my rebellion."
- Noah Baumbach

The story is told that before his death, Rabbi Zusya said, "In the coming world, they will not ask me: 'Why were you not Moses? Why were you not David? Why were you not Abraham?' No. In the world to come they will ask me: 'Why were you not Zusya?'"

I was born and raised in California and am as weird as that should make me. I find cumbersome words funny and have a penchant for hats. My fic is archived over at Cosmic Tuesdays. I like to spend time at powergeneration.

Regarding my icons: most of the ones I use were created by others with the intent for them to be used by large groups of people, but some were made for me as gifts. Please ask beforehand if you want to use one.

Regarding my friends-list: I use my friends-list as a source of entertainment and a way to keep in touch with people. If you want to friend me, go ahead, though I would appreciate knowing you've done so. If you want to unfriend me, I have no problem with that. If you don't like reading my journal, there are over two million active users; I'm sure you can find someone you like.

Regarding my moodtheme: it was made by girlboheme at frostianmoods here.

If you want to give me a gift, for your convenience, I have set up an Amazon.com wishlist.
