i feel badly, because y'all are here debating enormous issues of purpose, of friendship, of community, of freedom of speech... and i have just been laying around masturbating to gwen stefani videos all day. but then again, maybe every community needs someone who lays around masturbating to gwen stefani videos all day. freaks and deviants, you know, like l-rod says. see? i serve my purpose. and i have a community of friends to whom i can make speeches about my gwen stefani fetish. so, it seems there is a loving balance in the universe after all. even if that love is self-loving in nature.
just ask dr. reich.
