[floatinggravity]

heh, I've loved the princess bride since I was like... 4? I had the biggest crush on Cary Elwes, I don't think any of my other crushes have matched that one. geez, that's sad. I've been meaning to read Girl Interrupted and White Oleander but always forget when I go to the library, but now I must get them because you told me to. whee! xox

[brilliantdanss]

I was in love with Carey too! but i always knew him as Wesley: mmm. I was SO in love. have you seen him lately? he's had several inconsequencial parts in alot of movies lately.

[floatinggravity]

I did! in um... the cat's meow. and yes, I always think of him as Wesley. heh, I'm totally going to watch that movie tonight. Even though the forest scene still scares me :(

artists: carolee schneeman, artemisia gentileschi, hieronymus bosch (the garden of earthly delights crazy, crazy shit), claude cahun, judy chicago/barbara kruger/mariam schapiro (but you probably already know about them)

books: lesbian ethics, my year of meats, the S.C.U.M manifesto (yeah, you have to take it with a grain of salt, but it's awesome)

[floatinggravity]

when you posted yesterday about lesbian ethics I checked my library system, and they don't have it :(. You should scan every page and post it! same thing with s.c.u.m. that can be your new goal in life, post books that I can't find at the library. neat!

ps. I love you.

[dragkingbar]

well, i'm afraid i can't do lesbian ethics for you (i COULD sent it to you when i'm finished if i can trust you to send it back =). BUT. i CAN do the scum manifesto. i'll also suggest that you watch the movie i shot andy warhol and check out http://www.solanasonline.com/ especially issue #1 if you like j.d. samson at all. =)

[floatinggravity]

we could do a trade. and don't worry, when it comes to books I am completely obsessive and return them quickly in immaculate condition. tomorrow I'll list all the books on my shelf right now and you can let me know if you're interested in reading any of them.

[floatinggravity]

oooh, I love Vonnegut. If you haven't read Breakfast of Champions, then read that too. and Cat's Cradle.

and yes, now I love you. All those other times when I said that I loved you ... well, I was lying. but love means never having to say you're sorry! yay!

[paperbooks]

"cruddy" is a wonderful book
"13 stories 13 epitaphs" by William Vollmann is my favorite.
