About Me:
full of senseless things. burning up, en tout point. j'ai la passion de la liberation de la proletariat. ridiculously excited by JPG, and foxes, fireflies, fireworks. have tendencies to: drop off the face of the earth occassionally, look up at pedimental ornamentaion while crossing very busy new york boulevards. once (pathalogically) memorized passages of Tractatus Logico Philosophicus, thinking it might prove relevant some time. irrationally attached to: revolutionary literature, theoretical developments of the 20th century, insouciance, mechanical drawings, my friends, red lipstick, good whiskey, high heels, reductio ad absurdums. grossed out by: intolerant liberals, causal overdetermination.

Who I Want to Meet:
1. a secret garden, free of metaphysical anxiety, spiritual envy and cosmic resentment, a place with creatures half lady half peacock, et les passereaux, among other things.
2. treasures, like a contemporary Francoise Hardy or Serge Gainsbourg.
3. Yukio Mishima's soul.
4. the deep moral anarchy everyone's so afraid of.
5. sometimes, a dream machine which dispenses, in the words of Alice B. Toklas, "ecstatic reveries and extensions of one's personality on several simultaneous planes." a little like the orgasmatron in Sleeper.

hollyamber kennedy around.
that she is a vision of herself. i
could not have said it better myself.
she is a profound individual and the
sight of her makes me catch my breath.
how fortunate i am to call her my
friend.
is one of the best roommates I've ever
had- and I never fail to mention (by
way of attempting to explain our
complex relationship/connection) how as
soon as she walked in the door we would
totaly crack up, just from looking at
each other! (?) And then we'd point and
argue about who was laughing @ who
first and . . . argh. See? It's
impossible to explain!
A veritable, wonderful mystery- not
unlike HollyAmber herself. I will
always love her so much that it hurts.
But in a good way.
conversation, good dreams, adds a little
hope to my revolutions....and a damn fine
dresser to boot...OOOW!
numerous hours with one person mulling
over about 129 hundred different
topics, holly is it. she's the ultimate
kumquat-from-mouth-projecter, the tops
of all idea thinkers, most valuable
comrade supporter of all time.
