I can feel the days of Open Diary being numbered. It's quite upsetting. Even if it stays standing, the reliability of the servers now seems to be shaky. It was inevitable, I guess. Such a grand old place can only stand for so long until people's needs evolve. I had always perceived Open Diary to&...

One of those pieces I write mostly to exercise both my typing skills and my thought processes. Also I ended up ranting at TV again which I didn't plan, but naturally am delighted that it happened. I don't have issues with the term identity, I'm just being cautious of using it in a title. A…

You'd best believe that means what it says, and best believe it's relevant to you. This is me at my worst. Selfish, angry, cruelly critical, hungry - starving, addicted, destructive and reckless. This is what it will cost you, every time. There is a petulance that grows when one is denied one's a...

I used to fumble with titles. I would write almost without end and when I did end, I would deliberate for minutes, tens of minutes, attempting to pin a title, a header, some bizarre abstract of the work that precedes it.

Now I remember why I love destruction so much. I love it so much because of the horrible fiction we create. I used to think I knew why we created it. Escapism? Aspiration?

We are all of us writing about identity. All of the time. In everything we write. When we report, speculate, criticise, create. Always identity. It is not a romantic observation. There is nothing grand about it. We are blessed and cursed with obsessive introspection. Everything cast outward is a ...

Opening instances in parallel. There is a correctness, a succinct and clear fitting of mechanical parts. Of figuratively mechanical parts. - Also actually mechanical. This is true. Or can be. Or isn't but is romantic enough to be. Romance indicating intimacy, possibly inferring sexual intercourse...
