I hate the fucking beach.

But I love French boys. 

And Kevin too. . . mmm.  (same thing)

^^ me and him like to email eachother little face thingys. @(0o0)@ <--Koala. *_^  &_@

n(__)n bow to your masta. 

Blades of Glory was sooooo funny & stupid. 

I stayed at this beach house in Lincoln City it was three stories, good view and everything. I just hate being surrounded by people 24/7. By people I mean family.  

Prozac is my new best friend. My therapist wants me to cut down on caffeine. I, by the way, am drinking diet mountain dew at this very moment. 

I'm bored. Playing with the idea of actually going to sleep. I already went to church today- tonight, I guess. So. . . maybe McKena can sleep in tomorrow. Therefore she wouldn't have to go to sleep. . . at this very. . . moment. 

I've figured out, the French truly do think Americans are idiots. Which is true, yes, but no one likes to be called stupid. Just like my dad doesn't like for me to repeat things back to him. LOL. 

I don't feel good. Maybe I will go to sleep right nowwwwww. wwwww- I liked the way it looked.  ; P

What A Turn On!

When I get bored this is what happens:

Vorarephilia is a fetish where arousal occurs from the idea of being eaten 

I was reading about cravings, which lead to pica. Which lead to:

Self-cannibalism is the practice of eating oneself, also called autocannibalism, autophagy and autosarcophagy.

Interesting, I know. 

As a natural occurrence

A certain amount of self-cannibalism occurs unwittingly, as the body consumes dead cells from the tongue and cheeks. Ingesting one's own blood from an unintentional lesion such as a nose-bleed or an ulcer is clearly not intentional harvesting and consequently not considered cannibalistic.

Catabolisis is also sometimes described as "self-cannibalism."

As a disorder or symptom thereof

One disorder known to cause autocannibalism is Lesch-Nyhan syndrome which features "self-mutilating behaviors, characterized by lip and finger biting." Sixty percent of Lesch-Nyhan sufferers have to have their teeth removed to prevent them from biting off their lips, cheeks, tongues, and other parts. Similar symptoms are exhibited in Fragile X syndrome and Cornelia de Lange syndrome.

Acute pancreatitis can involve the auto-digestion of the pancreas.

Fingernail-biting that develops into fingernail-eating is a form of pica. Other forms of pica include the compulsion of eating one's own hair (also trichophagia and Rapunzel syndrome), which can form a hairball (trichobezoar) in the stomach.

As a choice

Some people will engage in self-cannibalism as an extreme form of body modification, for example eating their own skin. Others will drink their own blood, a practice called autovampirism but sucking blood from wounds, is generally not seen to be cannibalism. Placentophagy may be a form of self-cannibalism.

As a crime

Allegations of forced self-cannibalism as a form of torture or war crime are not uncommon. It had been alleged that the infamous Erzsébet Báthory forced some of her servants to eat their own flesh.[6] It has also been alleged that in the 16th Century, colonizers forced natives to eat their own testicles. Allegations were also made in the years following the 1991 coup in Haiti In the 1990s it had been alleged that young people in Sudan were forced to eat their own ears.

One famous case of self-cannibalism is the Armin Meiwes trial. One of the persons involved, Bernd Jürgen Armando Brandes, had hoped to engage in self-cannibalism before being cannibalized himself, although it is unclear if he actually did so.  


Hello World! How many wonders you hold! 

BAM! In the Trivia Section I Found:

In the novel Hannibal, Hannibal Lecter recalls psychologically manipulating a handicapped patient of his into eating his own face with his dog. In the course of the novel Lecter also feeds part of a man's brain to that man involuntarily.  

I Love You GASPARD! Which reminds me, I met a french boy yesterday. Foreign Exchange. We went and saw Premonition- funny as hell by the way. If you want a good laugh at how dumb some movies are. Seriously, some movie ideas- good in IDEA only.  You think he knows he's a very, very good looking boy?








  The Epic of Gilgamesh of ancient Sumer includes a mention of zombies. Ishtar, in the fury of vengeance says:

 Father give me the Bull of Heaven,
 So he can kill Gilgamesh in his dwelling.
 If you do not give me the Bull of Heaven,
 I will knock down the Gates of the   
Netherworld,
 I will smash the doorposts, and leave  the  doors flat down,
and will let the dead go up to eat the living!
And the dead will outnumber the living!
It will be awful!

translated by Maureen Gallery Kovacs 

Oh, Hell Yea. Zombies rock. Screw Pirates, Ninjas, and damn Robots. Zombies are where it's at mutha fucka. 

Today, in 1968 John Lennon and Yoko Ono got married at Gibraltar (might have spelled that wrong, whateva.)

    The concept of vicarious atonement, that one person can atone for the sins of another, is found in many religions.  


    "As time went on, the cruel custom was so far mitigated that a ram was accepted as a vicarious sacrifice in room of the royal victim"

    I love that word. Vicariously.

Dental caries
, also described as tooth decay, is an infectious disease which damages the structures of
teeth.[1] The disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, infection, and, in severe cases, death. There is a long history of dental caries, with evidence showing the disease was present in the Bronze, Iron, and Medieval ages but also prior to the neolithic period.[2][2] The largest increases in the prevalence of caries have been associated with diet changes.[2][3] Today, it remains one of the most common diseases throughout the world.

There are numerous ways to classify dental caries.[4] Although the presentation may differ, the risk factors and development among distinct types of caries remain largely similar. Initially, it may appear as a small chalky area but eventually develop into a large, brown cavitation. Though sometimes caries may be seen directly, radiographs are frequently needed to inspect less visible areas of teeth and to judge the extent of destruction.

Tooth decay is caused by certain types of acid-producing bacteria which cause damage in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose.[5][6] The resulting acidic levels in the mouth affect teeth because a tooth's special mineral content causes it to be sensitive to low pH. Specifically, a tooth (which is primarily mineral in content) is in a constant state of back-and-forth demineralization and remineralization between the tooth and surrounding saliva. When the pH at the surface of the tooth drops below 5.5, demineralization proceeds faster than remineralization (i.e. there is a net loss of mineral structure on the tooth's surface). This results in the ensuing decay. Depending on the extent of tooth destruction, various treatments can be used to restore teeth to proper form, function, and aesthetics, but there is no known method to regenerate large amounts of tooth structure. Instead, dental health organizations advocate preventative and prophylactic measures, such as regular oral hygiene and dietary modifications, to avoid dental caries.

A Question of Class Identity

Theatre Review from the October 1999 issue of the Socialist Standard

Summerfolk, by Maxim Gorki. National Theatre.

Summerfolk is a compelling, exciting, entertaining, hugely relevant play, that was written in 1904; that is, in the same year that the Socialist Party of Great Britain was formed. Like Philistines and Barbarians, two of Gorki's other plays written at about the same time, it is about the emergence, in significant numbers, of the "professional people" - lawyers, doctors, engineers, administrative civil servants, etc - who were needed to service the emerging capitalist state. Today's chattering classes jet round the world for their extended holidays, but in turn-of-the-century Russia the practice was to rent summer villas in the country. Summerfolk follows the lives of one group of such people and their dependants, over a period of several weeks.

Anyone familiar with the plays of Chekov and Turgenev (see, for example,
the review of Turgenev's A Month in the Country, Socialist Standard, April 1999) will recognise the terrain. Indeed Chekov's The Cherry Orchard describes the sale of land which is to be divided into building lots for summer villas. Most of the new breed of professionals and their partners, are the sons and daughters of serfs. Most of them, as once of the characters puts it "knew poverty in our youth", but now it is many of their lives which seem impoverished, listless, and apparently lacking in point and purpose.

Whilst Chekov and Turgenev frequently seem content to describe the behaviour of their characters and to acknowledge their collective ennui, Gorki is concerned to understand the roots of that behaviour and to speculate about its consequences. One critic argues that Chekov has more "symphonic mastery", by which he presumably means that Chekov handles his plots with greater panache and subtlety. But then Chekov seems intent on accounting for human behaviour in terms of individual traits and characteristics which make no reference to people's social experience. For Chekov it seems, the psychological domain is not only prime, it is often, in practice, all that there is.

Gorki takes a contrary view. His characters behave differently, firstly, because they are attached to different views of the world; and secondly, because these opinions are socially constructed. At the heart of the play is a dilemma. Are newly-rich professionals entitled to "a good meal and a drink", content with the justification of "My right to live any way I want"? Or should they, as a matter of loyalty to the class from which they come, strive "to improve and regenerate and illuminate the lives of our own people - people who toil and toil, till the day they die, trapped in dirt and darkness"? This is the question that Gorki would have us face and interestingly, the more enlightened, humanistic perspective is voiced predominantly by the female characters. The gossip, the drinking, the conflicting points of view - the talk of evolution or revolution, despotism or democracy, pessimism or optimism - are all finally tied to this central question.

Whether Gorki has "symphonic mastery" of his material may be a moot point. I can only report that three minutes listening to a reformist politician has often felt infinitely longer than the spell-binding three-and-a-half hours during which the drama unfolds across the vast expanses of the Olivier stage.

I frequently meet people who accept both the legitimacy of the socialist case and its implications for their status as workers. But, like some of the characters in Summerfolk, they argue that given their professional salaries, health benefits, share options and alike, they feel little sense of identity with the more deprived members of the working class in this country, let alone the wider world. For them, and for people like me who would have them think otherwise, Summerfolk is as relevant today as it has ever been. I hope to find an early excuse to see the play again, and to marvel at the skill of the actors and the wonder of its staging. Thoroughly recommended.
