(Untitled)
Yesterday between my therapists appointment at 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. I re-read the novel Less Than Zero (which I first read in high school) in its entirety. I am now extremely depressed. While the drugs, promiscuity, prostitution and snuff films the book touches upon are pretty removed from my life the sense of anxiety and alienation at the ( Read more... ) -
stalking bret easton ellis
I originally read Bret Easton Ellis’ novels Less Than Zero and The Rules of Attraction when I was in high school. I was just a few years younger than the novels anti-protagonists but my life couldn’t have been more different.

Gradually, I’m getting back into fandom after a lengthy hiatus.
I’ve started posting prompts again for my two multi-fandom drabble communities drabble_a_trois (for threesome drabbles) and of_the_moon100 (het drabbles) and I’ve been trying to do a piece of writing for each of these weekly prompts as well as those at slashthedrabble and femslash100 .
Additionally, I’m hosting 10,000 Lilies: A ( Read more... ) -
from the library
The little one room library in my hometown yielded up a surprisingly rich bounty on my last visit.
I just started reading Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games. It’s a YA novel I heard about on NPR several months ago that has an interesting premise, a sort of fusion of Greek myth and reality TV. There’s a wealthy capital that governs twelve outlying ( Read more... )
