I have taken a piece of my screwed up psyche and made art out of it. I liken this to the scene in the musical Pink Floyd the Wall where the main character smashes his hotel room in a fit of rage and afterwards makes a piece of art out of the remains. It’s a creepy way to think of my accomplishments, but then again, lots of creepy things go on in my mind.(less)

Sometimes when I’m alone (or at least when I’m sure I’m alone), I’ll do a back and forth dialogue between characters out loud.(less)

" Fluoric acid is also wet. Maybe the rapist can put his dick in that instead since he likes wet things. "
Garrison Kelly is on page 450 of 638 of Elantris: Holy fucking shit...I'm so glad I had the energy to read today. This is what I've been missing the entire time I've been too tired to carry on. Hrathen was "miraculously" cured from his black slime disease, Raoden is feeling a painful light force from within that will either cure him or kill him, and Serene...she's the latest to feel the Elantran plague...
