Some Quotes
It is easy to slip into a parallel universe. There are so many of them: worlds of the insane, the criminal, the crippled, the dying, perhaps of the dead as well. These worlds exist alongside this world and resemble it, but are not in it.
-Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted (novel)
Maybe, there's a moment growing up when something peels back... Maybe, maybe, we look for secrets because we can't believe our minds...
-Susanna Kaysen, Girl, Interrupted (film)
A broken leg can be remembered and located: “It hurt right below my knee, it throbbed, I felt sick at my stomach.” But mental pain is remembered the way dreams are remembered—in fragments, unbidden realizations, like looking into a well and seeing the dim reflection of your face in that instant before the water shatters.
–Tracy Thompson
Lunatics are similar to designated hitters. Often an entire family is crazy, but since an entire family can’t go into the hospital, one person is designated as crazy and goes inside. Then, depending on how the rest of the family is feeling, that person is kept inside or snatched out, to prove something about the family’s mental health. Most families were proving the same pro aren’t crazy; she is the crazy one.

I feel too far gone. It's the end of the road.
As all my emotions begin to corrode. -
Don't be blind-
To those around you.
Don't be deaf- -
Of the water calm and cool,
Always kind and never cruel,13 lines, 3 comments, April 17, 2008

prettyintoxication : Dick heads. on February 4, 2007Accualy it's the dick heads liek you that make America look bad as ignorant as you are. Look at you you find pleasure in this. Now look at America how great of a place is it any way. I've got a rude awakening it's not amazing it's beat. Same as every other place in the world we have problems. If anything America is the worst we think we are the shit our people stand for nothing. Most of America isn't worth fighting for anyway. People blame it on Bush well it's not his fault. We the citizens make it dirty not him. We litter we form gangs we deal drugs we steal we drink and drive we do all the wrong things. Now befor you talk about people in such a negative way think about all the things you do wrong because accualy in the scheme of things it's people like your self that make fun of people that need to just get shot in the fucking face and stomped on and have some one laugh in their face. Any questions? Didn't think so.
Caroline I love you and fuck these people. -
Ravenscroft on November 10, 2006"Its people like you that make America look bad" isn't that what bible bashing Christians, racially motivated gang killings and pseudo-democracy are for? or was that for something else...
