Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.
Usually I do a job, and, like, two weeks later, it disappears and is replaced with something else, but 'Get Out' kept growing and growing and growing, and it keeps taking me to rooms I could never get in before.
I do not like disappointing people.
I do disapprove very strongly of labelling children, especially young children, as something like 'Catholic children' or 'Protestant children' or 'Islamic children.'

Full disclosure here - I had a terrible crush on Smokey Robinson, like every other female on the planet.
I don't like music that much... I put on the TV. But I often play things like fast-tempo disco or Queen. I've liked those since way back when.
I'm very comfortable with uncomfortable situations, and I think that can seem odd to people, that I like the thrill of discomfort.
It's a bit disconcerting being treated like Madonna.
