Caroline, I had no idea what that meant and then I googled "music hall of williamsburg" and then the very first thing that came up was your thing on Brooklyn Vegan. That is super awesome and also did you get to talk to Dose One? I fucking love that guy. Possibly my only musician crush, now that I think of it. He is so weirdly cheesy when it comes to fan meetings, like, he'll mug for the camera and be super appreciative, and you just expect him to flip out and start delivering crazy monologues on people's haircuts or something, but he never does.

Also I came here to post my very first ever attempt at a levitation picture, which was good practice but clearly I need to do it outdoors with decent lighting and maybe a better support than a black Ikea table (that is glossy and thus clearly not great for figuring out how to fake natural light patterns):

Look at me still talking, when there's science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive
I'm doing science and I'm still alive
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive
While you are dying I'll be still alive
And when you're dead I'll be still alive
STILL ALIVE

I have this plan of stealing Rachael and make her develop Stockholm syndrome and then we'll go on a rampage together like the world has never seen before.

Got tired of the red after 1,5 years. Going back to blonde via brown. Yay boring. But I got dumped (I swear I will soon try to choose men from other qualities than a good beard and long golden hair...) and I felt like change. And also I think I'll try to come back now. To the forum I mean. Be active and let myself get absorbed into the internet again. So here I am, if you will have me.
