I guess I’ll just empty out the old quote bag again, starting with some bits of Cults That Kill that I missed when rolling my last little number:

Upper torso, below base of neck, "Satan" printed w/orange lipstick. Middle of torso (chest), "I’M COME HOME MASTER" [sic] printed with ballpoint pen. Middle lung area, the numbers "666" printed with orange lipstick. Left ribcage area, "SATAN" printed with orange lipstick. Front of right leg and ankle, "I love Satan" w/ballpoint pen. Buttock area, vertical line and, crosswise across top of buttocks, a horizontal line at the bottom of the vertical line. These lines have the appearance of an upside down cross when viewed from top to bottom; this was done w/pink lipstick. Inside of left thigh, "LUCIFER," printed w/orange lipstick.

I remember one kid we picked up for dope had a big inverted cross on the back of his jacket. Above that he had an inverted pentagram, and below the cross he had "666." Not only that, but he had calling cards with all these symbols on it and the type of sex he would perform. It just blew my mind.

There is a strange penumbral landscape where truths can exist and not exist, where they can be at once buried in the shadow lands of the mind, and yet illuminated by the light of rationality.

What’s bothering her is the fact that she has a better rapport with a goofy teenager than with any of her peers. Actually, she is more bothered by the fact that she thinks her peers are a bunch of insufferable jerks.
