They called me The Messiah. Actually, a Messiah was far from what I was. In actuality, my mistakes were no different than theirs, it's just that mine came attached with the splendor of a college education, loftier vocabulary, higher socio-economic status, and a few more road trips. Even had I tried, I wouldn't have been able to convince them of my mortal status. A full...

and, while I'm thinking about it. Alice/Jane is the only one has any semblence of true love, perverse though it is.
Aside from lying about her name, she is completely truthful about everything else. But the sacrifice she makes at the end is still something I'm ambivalent about...
Are her actions truly self-sacrificial? Does she try to rectify the selfishness of the other characters?
I'm...

I just saw the movie Closer with Jude Law, Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts...and that other British guy.
The ending is rather perplexing to me. I mean, naturally, I have my own theories as to why "Alice" never revealed her real name to Dan, but I wonder if someone who's more well read on the subject would help me out. Obviously, the fact that Alice was...

The secretary on the inside of the office sounded like she wore a mouth guard. It was a peculiar sort of underbite slur, slightly disorted, and yet strangely soothing. Cordial, and polite.
A tall girl with miniscule heels and too much foundation eagerly took a xerox of my insurance card and my driver's license. She must have thought I was cute, the way she snapped...

College football is king in Alabama.
In a living room of the house next door. The television plays the National Championship game: Alabama versus Arkansas. The father had purchased a new VHS recorder specifically for the occasion, you imagine, and the older son makes a point of showing you the well worn video which you look upon with a half-interest. Everything smells fusty and...

More of Cabaretic's Words of Wisdom
1. Never trust a man who wears too much cologne and K-Swiss sneakers.
2. If you want to cure your addiction to drama, you probably shouldn't purchase front row seats at the theatre.
3. If two trains leaving London were traveling towards each other at 45 k/ph, I'd probably just sit in the station and get for the one...

Please, God, let her call me now. Dear God, let her call me now. I won't ask anything of you, truly I won't. It isn't much to ask. It would be so little to you, God, such a little, little thing. Only let her call me now. Please, God. Please, Please, Please.

While I chug another Woodchuck Draft Cider, let me impart a few words of wisdom to you, oh dear Suiciders.
1. Women never lie. They just don't tell the complete truth.
2. War is a horrible thing; injustice still exists in many parts of the world even to this day; the rich have more advantages than the poor. In other news, the sky is blue....

I think that serial killers should be true to themselves. They serve a very important purpose:
They remind us how advanced we are as a species.

Here are a few prominent stereotypes you must, repeat must avoid at all costs.
1. The psuedo-hippie party girl.
This sort of creature is known to wear tye-dyed ankle length skirts. Her first name is probably something highly gender-neutral like Devon, Ashley, or Raine. She will profess an undying love for one, count 'em, one album that she only vaguely understands and appreciates:
