I always thought that if I was popular I must be doing something wrong.

I wasn't afraid of going places or doing new things. I would do just about anything or go anywhere. I'd get a notion in my mind and just follow it.

Writing in other voices is almost Japanese in the sense that theres a certain formality there which allows me to sidestep the embarrassment of directly expressing to complete strangers the most intimate details of my life.

I dont think gender is aesthetically defining for me.

If language were liquid, it would be rushing in. Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent than any word could ever be.

You have to defend your honor. And your family.

Yes I think I'm okay, walked into the door again.
