• The organism is thus being preconditioned for the spontaneous acceptance of what is offered. Inasmuch as the greater liberty involves a contraction rather than extension and development of instinctual needs, it works for rather than against the status quo of general repression - one might speak of "institutionalized desublimation".

• Free Agents' was an awesome experience. I never play the glam girl in anything, so that was a new experience.

Every day felt like I was turning into an awesome drag queen.

Hell is just the opposite of the ecstasies of life in Heaven for the saved and the blessed!
