into: Open minds * Pushing limits * Understanding narcissism * Transcending relativism * Sublimating ego * True rebellion * BDSM * Tightlacing * Mindfucks * Things * Nonthings * Things that are both Things and Nonthings * Things that are neither Things nor Nonthings * All things sacrilegious and sacred * Weird things in general * STUPAS * words words words...

not into: Monsanto, and the irresponsible, irreversible damage they are doing to the world's food supply. Please boycott Roundup and all GMO products.

makes me happy: When I or someone else accidentally switches letters or syllables in a phrase, i.e. "My egg litches," as opposed to "My leg itches" * The sound and feeling that two voices make when perfectly intertwined * Cacti blooming * Mushrooms growing * Raptors and water birds * Squirrels playing * Big trees * Morning tea * Remembering my dreams * When words lose their meaning from saying them over and over

makes me sad: All living beings' struggle to survive * The perfectly backwards, counterintuitive way The Machine operates

hobbies: Buying books and not reading them
