Where works have multiple authors cited, unless otherwise noted, they are written either as exquisite corpses or per-line. Each author writes one line, then passes the paper around the circle. The poem ends when it ends. There is no revision of the others’ lines.

In a world that usually lets me down, the certainty that I will always fail is something I’ve come to depend on. I’ve developed a tremendous faith in my inabilities. When all of life’s questions overwhelm me in the dead of night, I don’t need to wonder what the future holds for me. I have the peace that comes with the knowledge that no matter what happens, I will probably get it wrong anyway. And it’s a really good feeling. I highly recommend it, actually, as a lifestyle choice. Once you decide to be a failure, it’s amazing how everything crystallizes. It’s easier to make decisions, too, when you can be sure of the outcome.
If anyone actually reads this, let me know.

You can do nothing except experience a constant low level of anxiety, which is exactly the feeling this announcement intends to produce. So much of today’s politics is nothing but a mobilization of panic.
And slowly the site is beginning to come together. Did some more modifications to the stylesheet and made a new (very basic) splash page.
Naomi is going to do some art for the site that’ll replace this stuff anyway, and start posting soon too.

I am slowly and painfully hacking this layout together. Sorry if looks a little wonky.
For some reason the layout is completely broken in Firefox and IE. It looks great in Opera, though. Go figure.
update: Fixed layout (culprit: missing end bracket in the .css), fixed broken image in header. need to update rest of page to match header’s color scheme.
