The Modern Adolescent - Journal Excerpts*
A bestiary is an encyclopedia about your inner demons. Unfortunately, only few people have the courage to look through it once in a while and marvel at the new species that have been discovered.

Lexi's home-made coin theory:
Should you find yourself between two decisions, just flip a coin. Your subconscious will tell you which side to pick so that it will be the one that you really desire. If it happens to land on the edge, it just means that you're shit out of luck.
*
Just the other night I wiggled with the king of momba. It made him so upset he might actually be plotting the end of the world as we know it.
*
It exists in all of us, that irrational, but sometimes beautiful form of self-mutilation that a human being can strive to conquer before death. It is called control, and few have learned its true meaning, and even fewer how to master it.
*
I don't know about you, but my biggest fear is that someday I will finally become afraid.
*
Take everything you know about me, reverse it, turn it back, reverse it again, then repeat the cycle until nothing seems normal anymore, and finally you might get a tiny idea about how my world feels like.
*
Writing doesn't get better with age, but with experience.
*
To me, a friend is nothing more than a social experiment.
*
People say I'm a walking contradiction. I'd argue it's rather hard to live up to my reputation now that I have a broken leg.
*
Today's winning commentary regarding teenage drama & self pity goes something like this:
"I know so much about the internet, I don't even have a Flickr account..."
And that, my friends, is just sad to the core.
*
Space jamming is so much like air guitar: you either do it because you're good at it, or because you're drunk.
*
Today I learned how to use a gun. It was just before I realized I don't like your morning face.
*
No one can surpass his limitations. You just have to trick yourself into being better at something and the rest will closely follow.
*
Werewolves are just figments of our imagination. Then again so is love, a good lay or that plate of sweet potatoes you ate a couple of days ago. It just depends on what you like to imagine...
*
A summer dream is nothing but a splash of wet sand in your eyes. Thus, I like winter better.
*
One should not fight the monsters that lurk inside his persona, but rather tame them into becoming pleasure inducing devices.
*
Freedom is your own free will. Free will is something you are born with, whereas freedom is not. Should you decide to live your life properly, choose carefully the order in which you will cherish them.
*
The need for change exists in all of us. What many do not understand is that change should be self-induced, rather than self-inflicted.
