I edited this from the Original Interview, because, 2 Weeks Later, None of it was True Any More.
The Questions were still Good though.

How long have you been writing for? Since when? I’ve been writing since I was 5 Yrs Old. My First was a Story about Flying Horses. I orated it to my Mom and she wrote it down. Then I drew Pictures to go along with it. At 12 I wrote my First Novel. It was about Girls with Magical Powers, and is condensed into a Poem
here. I drew Pictures for that too. Girls in Cool Dresses.
Describe what writing means to you. Is it something you can’t live without
doing, or is it just a hobby for you? Definitely SomeThing I can’t live without. Definitely dominates my Identity. When I can't write, I begin to go Mad. My Current Ambition is to earn Money. I’m looking for a Publisher for my Novel,
SIS:.
What are your goals for your writing? To become Ridiculously inFamous and then run away to the Woods where I start an Anarkist FarmStead and write Tomes of Philosophy on Sx, Drugs and Anarky.
What genres do you write in and why? I write Philosophy, Poetry, Fiction and Essays. Philosophy because it is Sx and Important. Poetry because it’s Good to be able to xpress your Feelings and then be done with them. Fiction because I enjoy reading it and because it is Telepathic. Essays because they make People laugh and they allow me to let my Intellectual Rage out.
What inspires you? Juxtapositions, Trash Culture, Youth Movements, Music, Dense Classical Literature, the InterNet, Politics, Partying, my Friends, Turtle IsLand. Things that make me Angry, Things that make me Happy, Things that make me Envious.
Who are your favourite authors? What are your favourite books? And why? Three of my Favorite Authors are Roberto Bolaño, Fredrick Nietzsche and Allen Ginsberg. I like Authors who are Crazy Geniuses and Authors who take Art to the Level of living. I like Authors who change the World. My Favorite Books are
On the Road by Jack Kerouac, because it was the Book that helped me realize I could be more than a Party Girl, I could be a Great Writer;
Antwerp by Roberto Bolaño, because it captures the Essence of Good Writing (make the Words conjure a Picture); and
The Genealogy of Morals by Nietzsche, because I would like to be Able to xpand People’s Minds to that Degree. I like Books that define Eras or Movements, like Henry Miller’s
Tropic of Cancer or Simone de Beauvoir’s
The Second Sex. My Self Education is in Canonical Literature and Philosophy. That's where my Sensibilities come from: I'm the Snob of All Snobs.
What are you reading right now? (comments on the work?) I am reading
A History of Sexuality, Volume I by Michel Foucault,
The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoire,
The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships and Other Adventures by Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy and
Jane Sexes It Up, edited by Merri Lisa Johnson because I would like to write a Philosophical Book on Gender and Sxuality. I am also reading
Nietzsche’s
The Anti-Christ, Jean Paul Sartre’s
Being and Nothingness, an Anthology of Canadian Poetry from the Seventies, and Joseph Boyden’s
Through Black Spruce. I like to read Many Books at Once, Little Bits at a Time. Especially Philosophy, because it is the Literary Equivalent of Weight Training.
How do you gather material for your writing? Do you eavesdrop on
strangers, look through old diaries, research in the library, jot down notes from
your day to day life? First I live in Life, then I write down from Xperience: I am an Autobiographical Writer, but I wont tell you to what Degree.
Have you taken any writing courses that have been particularly helpful/
inspiring for you? If so, describe them. This is a Contentious Topic for me. I don’t like School. It is because I am Both Ego Maniacal and Socially Anxious, the 2 of which are Connected: I am Afraid of being discovered in my Ego. I am thankful for Books and for the InterNet, which have allowed me to educate mySelf.
What does the Victoria Writers’ Society do for you? Do you belong to a
critique group, do you enjoy going to the meetings, the free subscription to Island
Writer? I like knowing what's going on. That Way, if I choose to leave my Bubble, I may.
Any further comments you’d like to make about your writing, inspirations,
writing in Victoria, etc. Please feel free to take up as much space as you like!
Oh Gosh. I've started this Production Company called LotusLand Warrior ArtMedia. It's an Art Bomb.
AN ART BOMB. I want to change the World. I want there to be More Plants and Animals. EveryThing I do is for that: the Plants and Animals.
