Secrets and Lies..but in an American, meaningless way

Fact #1: I AM A CONSUMER WHORE (and how!): There are currently 3 different types of face cleansing products in my bathroom cubby. Yes, 3. This was not done on purpose, and if time or interest ensued I could tell the story of how it happened and it is a story that makes sense, but nevertheless, there they are, and I use all of them. And I like it. I like exfoliating, clearing, cleansing, refreshing, every other sound byte. After my morning shower, I use Biore "cooling cleanser," rub it into my face for 20 seconds, the thing feels like fucking menthol, and after I am done I FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF AND MY LIFE, you know, just like American Psycho. When I take my personals out of the dryer - ahem - my overpriced, deep color dyed, thigh-high, bikini cut, low ride, or string personals, I enjoy them to smell like the psuedo Spring Fresh chemical whafts of Bounty. I like when my room smells like Folgers "Mountain Brew" instant coffee. I like my totally bougeousie and ridiculous Angel perfume. I like my silicone sex toys and leather strap. I am a capitalist bastard.

Fact #2: THE WORD CHEMOTHERAPY CAN MAKE MAGICAL THINGS HAPPEN: If you ever want to leave class early, just saying the word chemotherapy will make things much easier for you. In fact, not only will you be allowed to leave class early, but my experience says it is probable you will be told that, in fact, you don't have to go to class, you know, ever. Just email them, you poor poor baby.

Fact #3: I HAVE STARTED A NEW SHORT STORY: Maybe if I post that, it will shame me into finishing it

Ok. I'm procrastinating. I also have been having interesting insomnia which causes me to either get up or go to sleep at 4 am, depending on how i take my medication. Life in the fast lane.
