In the end you always have someone in mind that you write stuff down for. I think you never can write anything without really addressing no one.

I am very tempted to take this to our creative writing department and make a case for schizophrenia aesthetically and politically overriding lofty ideals of artistic inspiration. Celebrate the "happy Schizophrenic out for a stroll" (is how I think the quote goes). I will try to find something adequate to reciprocate--you set the bar very high, though.

Die Männer.

Die Männer haben ein starkes Herz.
Sie fahren in der Gesellschaft.
Sie führen sich selbst. Die Männer verlieben sich schwerst. Sie weisen das Leben ab. Sie haben auch einen starken Bart. Die Männer sind müde. Sie rasieren sich lieber mit einem Philishave 3m. Die Männer haben keinen Feind.

Die Frauen.

Die Frauen, die sind hübsch. Die Frauen haben gute Ohren, und sehen sehr gut. Die Frauen sind nicht so dumm. Die Frauen ärgern sich. Die Frauen freuen sich über eine jede Kleinigkeit. Sie haben mehr Charme. Und sie giften sich auch mehr als die Männer.
Die Frauen überstürzen sich nicht, sie arbeiten.

Could you send me the citation? Sounds great. And regarding Schreber--Deleuze actually found him funny. Aren't some of the first sentences in _Anti-Oedipus_ "Judge Schreber has sunbeams in his ass. A solar anus"? Always found that to be a great opening. Yes, I can (I am, in fact, despite my expatriate status, still a German citizen). Could you send me the citation? Sounds great.

I myself am still not quite ready to do that, but I am occasionally browsing through Schreber's _Memoirs of My Nervous Illness_ again before sleep--you know, to set my mind at ease about myself and the state of the world. Might help me feel better about the blogging as well. Ooh, the dark thoughts one seems interesting!

To me, it's actually _not_ like a diary - but then again, I never had one. It always felt odd to me to write words that weren't addressed at anybody. Futile. But I'll tell you the truth - I've got another blog which I keep for my dark thoughts only, the kinda stuff that I don't want to share with people, and where I don't want any feedback from anyone. It's been around for two months now and has no to one accidental visitor on most days. It might enforce the mold of our schizophrenic existence in late capitalism, but I kinda like it that way.
