Repulsive Culture

"Our culture may be repulsive, but I want the future to know the meaning of our lives."
~Takashi Murakami, Little Boy: The Arts of Japan's Exploding Subculture

"In a word, mademoiselle, said he, approaching her with a terrifying look, might he who wishes to banish ignorance and crime from the world go through it like a tempest, dealing out evil at random?"
~Julian Sorel, The Red and the Black, Stendhal

"Gimme that paper!"
~Carl Johnson, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas



This journal is a mix of books, self-indulgent rambling, YA writing/publishing, video games, random snarliness, and cute culture. I don't update that much because I've never been a big fan of talking about myself.

And I am lazy.

I'm a YA writer. I'm also an icon maker, a book addict, an animal lover, and a grouch. ^.~

I love writers, artists, and anyone who's wicked or adorable--if I've friended you, you probably fit into at least one of those categories.

Hmm. That's really all I have to say.

Feel free to friend/defriend without notice.

Note: I recently went friends-only, & I don't intend to friend anyone I don't already know from somewhere else. Not on this lj, anyway. But you're not missing anything. ^.^



My icon community can be found at

I moderate ff_seasonal, a Final Fantasy icontest with seasonal themes. Currently on hiatus.

I co-mod project_icon, a mod-judged elimination challenge.
Currently on hiatus.

I also maintain neglect boybooks, a community for writers and readers of YA fiction that appeals to boys. Yes, you can be a girl and join.
