Salinger.

[levity]

Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.

"It's everybody, I mean. Everything everybody does is so — I don't know — not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and — sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you're conforming just as much only in a different way."

Salinger is my kind of guy - veteran of the D-Day Landings, mental breakdown sufferer, genius! who wrote ONE exceptionally popular book and got to live the rest of his life as a recluse. Luring young girls back to his secluded house with his brilliance so that he could have his way with them and subvert them to his will.

That is my goal in life. Interested in being lured back to mine by my brilliance..?

=P

Come back on IM... you were keeping me on my toes!
