| Bio: |  Shall I tell you my dreams?--To give an account of my time is doing, I assure you, but little better. Never did there exist a more ideal being. A frequent mist hovers before my eyes, and, through its medium, I see objects so faint and hazy, that both their colours and forms are apt to delude me. This is a rare confession, say the wise, for a traveller to make: pretty accounts will such a one give of outlandish countries: his correspondents must reap great benefit, no doubt, from such purblind observations. But stop, my good friends; patience a moment!--I really have not the vanity of pretending to make a single remark, during the whole of my journey: if--be contented with my visionary way of gazing, I am perfectly pleased; and shall write away as freely as Mr. A., Mr. B., Mr. C., and a million others whose letters are the admiration of the politest circles.---William Beckford. -------------------------------------------------- An Explanation of Self: The Prologue I was born in Chicago and raised between Green Bay Wisconsin and Chicago, Illinois. I recently graduated from a small woman's college (PROUD ENGLISH MAJOR!) in a small city, which I call home for now, somewhere on the eastern coast of the United States of America. My greatest desire is to become filthy rich and permanently move to England (in no particular order, though being filthy rich first would be nice). I am a dreamer, but I am also a realist. Though I have thoughts on how I wish the world to be, I realise that it will never be that way (or it will not occur within my lifetime). Being a realist does not make me pessimistic, it means that though my head is often in the clouds, I have a lovely view of the world from my perch 3000 miles above Tintern Abbey. And it ain't pretty. This will basically be about my thoughts upon various subjects, mingled with random bits of nothingness, (thus the title), because the actions of people are thought provoking and I prefer to observe than to directly participate. Moreover, I tend to post about things that amuse or interest me. If you want to know my interests and a bit more about me than what's provided above, take a gander below. ------------------------------------------ Words of Wisdom from the Divine Marquis (aka The Marquis de Sade, my lj-username-sake and hero): All quotes can be found in the novel Juliette by the same author. "Oh, my companions, I say it unto you: Fuck! you were born to fuck. To be fucked Nature created you;...you will be exhorted to fuck, because Nature would that you fuck, and it is a crime against Nature not to fuck." My personal favorite. "It is the precise contrary Nature recommends, since Nature's single precept is to enjoy oneself at the expense of no matter whom." "Fuck, in one word, fuck: 'twas for that you were brought into the world: no limits to your pleasure save those of your strength and will; no exceptions as to place, to time, to partner; all the time, everywhere, every man has got to serve your pleasure..." "Fuck, Eugenie, fuck, my angel; your body is your own, yours alone; in all the world there is but yourself who has the right to enjoy it as you see fit."---Philosophy in the Bedroom. "Profit from the fairest period in your life; these golden years of our pleasure are only too few and too brief. If we are so fortunate as to have enjoyed them, delicious memories console and amuse us in our old age..."  ----------------------------------- General Words of Wisdom Do we want to contemplate his power? We see it in the immensity of the Creation. Do we want to contemplate his wisdom? We see it in the unchangeable order by which the incomprehensible WHOLE is governed. Do we want to contemplate his munificence? We see it in the abundance with which he fills the earth. Do we want to contemplate his mercy? We see it in his not withholding that abundance even from the unthankful. In fine, do we want to know what GOD is? Search not written or printed books, but the Scripture called the 'Creation.' ---Thomas Paine in Age of Reason "Either kill me or take me as I am, because I'll be damned if I ever change..."-- Sade, from a letter to his wife, written in prison, November 1783 "Religion is what the common people see as true, the wise people see as false, and the rulers see as useful." -Roman philosopher Seneca "Hang the code, and hang the rules. They're more like guidelines anyway"--Elizabeth Swann, Pirates of the Caribbean. "They say there’s a heaven for those who will wait Some say it’s better but I say it ain’t I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints The sinners are much more fun..."--"Only the Good Die Young", Billy Joel "'Tis better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven"--John Milton's Paradise Lost "Life is more than sexual combustibility".--"But Mr. Adams", 1776 I want to know everything I want to be everywhere I want to fuck everyone in the world I want to do something that matters ---"I Do Not Want This", Nine Inch Nails "Beware of the convenience stores".~~Dr. Kidd at the Reading Tea “You must deal directly with Life—modern terrible Life—wrestle with it, and force it to yield you its secret. You have the power and the pen. You know what passion is, what passions are; you can give them their red raiment, and make them move before us. You can fashion puppets with bodies of flesh, and souls of turmoil: and so, you must sit down, and down a great thing. It is all in you.” (Oscar Wilde to an aspiring writer, June 1892) [From ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} greatwideleap]For me God gave His Son to make my sin-rent spirit whole. I revere forbears. I seek Noble Truths. I strive to free the soul. I light the candles for Yom Kippur. I kneel in Ramadan. And faith I give to him who keeps none.
