BioI'm a playwright. I am a NYU Tisch Dramatic Writing Departmental Fellow for 2005-2006. Hope something comes from it.
"My memory has grown increasingly distant, and I have already forgotten any number of things. Writing from memory like this, I often feel a pang of dread. What if I've forgotten the most important thing? What if somewhere inside of me there is a dark limbo where all the truly important memories are heaped and slowly turning into mud? Be that as it may, it's all I have to work with. Clutching these faded, fading, imperfect memories to my breast, I go on writing this book with the desperate intensity of a starving man sucking on bones."

LLOYD: I am.
COREY: The world is full of guys. Be a man. Don't be a guy.

Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves, and live for their secrets..."This journal has been rated
by several very unqualified people. So do what you will with that.
I came here to chew gum and kick ass. And I'm all outta gum.
