I feel like some sort of male/female chimera. And that isn’t what I am. Holding out for a day when the female part is only a memory.

This was supposed to be a one year thing, but I’ve really missed it, so I think I should come back from time to time, just without the obligation to post every day. In the meantime, I’ve joined Facebook. Just goes to show that shit floats - tumblr is so much more sexy! So henceforth, this shall be my anonymous outlet.
