"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."

-Edgar Allen Poe

An exceprt from the movie 12 Monkeys...

It's a condition of "mental divergence". I find myself on another planet, Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though it's a totally convincing reality in every way...I can feel, breathe, hear...nevertheless, Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well. Are you also divergent, friend?

-L.J. Washington

What We Need

Susie says...

I need my life to be organized and headed in a stable direction. I need a course of action. I need a situation where I am forced to prove myself, in which only my intellect and will allow me to succeed. I need a healthy challenge. I need a new crowd, one that isn't made up mostly of idiots. I need a new location, this place has become a bore. I need an education. I need a new job. I desperately need a change.


Nina says...

I need more art, in all forms. I need to start drawing again. I need to take more pictures. I need music, old and new. I need to go to more concerts, preferably alone. I need to throw myself into dangerous situations. I need to pray. I need to see the world. I need to get completely lost in a moment. I need to forget about the past and ignore the future. I need to sing, regardless if I sound good or not.


Lacey says...

I need to settle old scores, in the world and in myself. I need to act out. I need to take up a violent hobby, like boxing. I need to swear more, it's good for my soul. I need to find better ways to be destructive. I need to find a companion, someone who doesn't want to save or destroy me, but rather someone who is along for the ride. I need to start over again.


Amanda says...

I need a better understanding of myself and what I really want. I need to find God again. I need to get a move on and stop waiting for "whatever" to happen. I need to exercise more. I need to trust somebody. I need to view myself in a better light.
