I keep having memories of the lives I've never lived.  I wonder what it is that keeps me here, I think perhaps the world outside my door is somehow quite less than the world inside my head, the colors muted, bleached by sun, it's never dark even when I close my eyes.  In my mind the edges are sharper, cut deeper and all the falls are steeper.  No ( Read more... )

So, moving to Alaska come April, until what is beginning to look like July. Where I will undoubtedly retreat further into my cat lady ways while I continue working on my epic on gnosticism, existentialism, pretty much any ism you can come up with, comparative mythology and zombie doom love. I'm probably going to be staying at this nature ( Read more... )

If it tickles at memory
If it can call back to a time when it was ever more than acting

I´ve decided to start a Send Rachel to Burning Man Fund, in return for money I will offer all sorts of self-degrading activities not limited to sexual favors so I can be naked in the desert with a bunch of hippies for four days. If you´d like to donate please comment. On another mildly unrelated note, my weekend, week, life is amazing. I am a ( Read more... )

Okay whoa. So first actual weekend in Peru that wasn´t orientation and my life feels like a bad teen flick crossed with Wild Kingdom. Friday a bunch of us went on this ridiculously beautiful hike in Yukay which is pretty close to where I live. It was so beautiful I can´t even express. During the hike a couple of us daring people (ie overzealous ( Read more... )
