Favorite Quote:
&quot;A thin layer of trust had formed in my mind, like a scab.&quot; <br /> <br /> &quot;I preferred albums to the more modern eight tracks. Albums came with sleeves which reminded me of clean underwear.&quot; <br /> -Augusten Burroughs

He needs me as much as I need him,
He is definetly not a cloud nine for me,
I shirk sleep for him deny rest
and no,
he is not good for me,
he's a bad influence on me.
In his presence, I now reside
I am in agony
this is my oppressor's doing,
but I suffer in yielding silence.
pursuing repose
obtaining sleeplessness
He runs me ragged,
keeps me
wired for sleep.
