"I would love only wild things. I didn't care if wild things tended to break hearts. I didn't care if they substituted scotch for breakfast cereal. I understood that art was long and life was short." ...  "Artists were drinkers... I believed in the drunkenness of artists the way I believed in elephant's fondness for peanuts, or the lust of cats for mice." ... "I am afraid of the things that happened in the dark. He is not"

Go to this and smile!

China Girl.

I was perusing through a book about great screen actresses and Gene Tierney was one. I've honestly never heard of any of her films, but when I saw her face I was blown away --she's BEAUTIFUL!

Then I felt bad for not knowing about her.

I am going to look for her movies.

Dermatophagia:

A form of obsessive compulsive disorder where the sufferer bites their own skin, especially around the finger nails. sufferers feel the pain they inflict, but the feelings of gratification and stress relief prevent them from stopping.

I've always thought I had some sort of OCD. It kind of sucks that I can't stop, and I've been trying. I am KILLING my fingers!

I'm doing it right now.

Falling up.

Today, I managed to fall up a flight of stairs. No joke.

I've gone back to my klutzy self. God help me.

(In my mind I was like "Cesar, please don't fall".)

It was sad.
