Do you have bipolar disorder or some other mental illness that makes your life dramatic? Join my group Rollercoaster Riders. No application needed now! I also "adopted" Girl Interrupted and that group is loosely based on the book/movie. I've recently also acquired Elysian Support for those with mental health or abuse issues.

I have recently earned certification as an herbologist. In the class, taught by a naturopathic doctor with multiple certifications, we learned about body systems, energy sources, proper nutrients, proper diet, and herbs as nutritional supplements to promote natural health and wellness. If you would like information on making positive lifestyle changes and potentially freeing yourself from pharmaceutical tampering, please ask for a consultation!

I am firmly anti-censorship, so some of the items in my collections may be
offensive or triggering to some people. Please keep that in mind when you browse my work. I've made every effort to classify items in the proper categories and give an idea of the subject matter in the blurbs- it's up to you to choose if you want to read a certain piece or not.

"I had a teacher I liked who used to say good fiction's job was to comfort
the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." -- Daniel Foster Wallace
I think this quote applies to all works of art.

If you're not being disturbed, comforted or at least educated by something I write, I welcome constructive critiques from intelligent people. I take my poetry more seriously than some, and always welcome an opportunity to learn and grow- not just as a poet, but as a person as well. I return the favor assuming you're the same way, so please understand my comments are meant as constructive criticism. If you've felt offended, please just delete them instead of lashing out.

Quotes from my favorite sources:

The explanation behind my name:
"Never stop questioning.
Don't you ever stand without acting, you have to face the things that will happen to you, you have to face off the medias, the governments, the people who pretend they know everything and who say they can hold your life.
Questioning, exploring and looking for everything by yourself, that is the key.
Never give up."
Johnny Depp

On Art and Love:
"[Art is] in learning to spend your life with someone, in having the courage to be creative with someone, to melt each other's souls to molten temperatures and let them flow together into an alloy that could withstand the world."
from Drawing Blood, by Poppy Z Brite, my favorite author.

On Comedy:
"I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately."
George Carlin
