i'm stacia. i'm 23 and i graduated from college in may 2007 with a degree in literature and theatre. now i guess i'm trying to figure out what to do with it. in the meantime i'm learning to cook, biking a lot, checking out large stacks of books from the library, and experimenting with contentment. i live in portland, oregon. it's beautiful here. i am unabashedly a work in progress. these days i am wondering: where is freedom?

why do you have to go mad to make a discovery as simple
as that? who is fooling whom with this pretense that to exist
is a credible thing? the mad are not so gullible. we're not
taken in by such a transparent falsity. oh, no, what we know
that you don't know--[she faces the audience] or don't dare
admit that you know is that to exist is the original and
greatest of incredible things."
