I like braids. I like blood and guts. I like little bubbly fountains in the garden section of home improvement stores. I like music that changes everything I feel, at least for a while. I like long socks. I like cheap little instruments. I like proper endings. I like listing things I like at completely random times.

“For the Navajo, beauty is not so much in the eye of the beholder as it is in the mind of the creator and the creator’s relationship to the created (that is, the transformed or the organized.) The Navajo does not look for beauty; he generates it within himself and projects it onto the universe… Beauty is not ‘out there’ to be perceived by the perceptive and appreciative viewer; it is a creation of...

Chronophobia →
It’s the fear of time, characterised by panic, anxiety, and claustrophobia. Also known as prison neurosis, it’s perhaps the most common anxiety disorder in prison inmates.

Microcosm
(from Greek mikros kosmos, “little world”), a Western philosophical term designating man as being a “little world” in which the macrocosm, or universe, is reflected. The ancient Greek idea of a world soul (e.g., in Plato) animating the universe had as a corollary the idea of the human body as a miniature universe animated by its own soul. (from Britannica.com)

Whenever there’s a spider in the house, I catch it in a cup and put it outside.

My ceiling is filled with glow-in-the-dark plastic stars.
I hate time.
