B: So why are all your posts so heavy?
DW: I wanna make it feel like there's a weight pulling people down.
B: I had a sense that your posts are so light, like everybody was floating around.
DW: yes, we wanted to make people feel really light.
B: I found that your posts were very serious, there was no joking around.
DW: yes, I wanted this to be very serious.
B: How did you make your posts so humorous?
DW: by using various pop icons.
B: I really like how your posts are about the individual... there really was a sense of individualism.
DW: yeah, we want everybody to just be themselves, be individuals
B: I really liked how the posts were about other people, why did you do that?
DW: because, as artists, you observe other people, you watch others, thats what makes you an artist.
B: Do you think consistancy is important?
DW: no, not at all.

bruno,
I guess you see right through me, putting words in my mouth as you are.
However I would not take you for the kind that would be wanting a puppet.
Now if I were to take this post, and try to read between the lines--could I?
Keep writing.
In your debt, for placing upon me such an important role,
D.W.

pop icons ouch...
consistency...double ouch!
I was reading some studies the other day about kids with social anxiety disorders for this class...the tests are still kind of iffy (havent been tested out alot) but it basically pointed out that there are some children who, recently born--have better people/coping skills than other children.(pointing to nature--not nurture) (The tests were about how these children responded to being asked things they couldnt perform in a group situation.
It sounds like science fiction (The Charisma Engine by Jeff Noon) but stranger things already encompass our everyday realm.
The study explains that people sans charisma over the years have been able to gain it by sticking to their core beliefs. I don't think that everyone should go out there and try to be individuals...to a certain extent--surely--you'll agree with me--we all must conform at one time or another. It's all about trying things, and using what works. To me.

Bruno,
You made me remember my thoughts.
What do I want?
All I want is a cigarette. In a perfumed glove.
All I want the sheet put back on and everybody to be very anxious about what they're going to see next again.
Aliov.

Wow.
And all the people back at the Xiu Xiu message board are talking about is how to pronounce Xiu Xiu. In a week or so--I will go back and ask the same question again I think.

Do you think this gay public school will fail? I think it will, because in every school there is a natural hierarchy. It sets these people as targets. But the polls didn't agree oh well. I am voting on AOL.

I like when people's posts are no more than a few lines long... unless they're made by radam... sometimes i go and read through all his posts.

HAHA that's a good one. Also, what's with talking to yourself, DW? It makes you seem a little............... you know. Giraffe-like...

I write as I think of it....to avoid being pigeonholed. To avoid the Bronx cheers. Really I don't know what I'm doing wrong or doing right.
Did I ever mention that all my heroes are con men? It's their power of man over myth, whether it's his own, or other ones.
I fear not getting a chance. I fear total lock down. I fear how you make your decisions.

There's nothing wrong with talking to yourself if you're interesting enough. I prefer talking to other people, but it's a good practice to keep in the habit of: talking.
