Information taken from the documentary 'Carl Panzram The Spirit Of Hate And Vengeance' and the website provided. ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Panzram ) The life in a cell is one not worth living. In humane conditions that will drive a man crazier then the term itself. Psychopath, Sociopath, they're just words compared to the true minds of the few evil human beings who existed many years ago, but their stories still haunt us today. This is the story of one killer who was a different kind of insane but was treated as if he was already dead. His name is Carl Panzram.

After spending a year teaching in Thailand, I longed to travel with only my quirky self to keep me company. My journey started in Myanmar where temple cycles and village treks exposed me to the past and present of this intriguing nation. I returned to Northern Thailand for a volunteer experience and some of the most ingenious and adrenaline-pumping New Year's celebrations. Indonesia's smiling faces warmed my heart and even coaxed me out on a date or two. Join in if you've ever wanted to experience the beauty of a volcanic sunrise, the joy of Javanese hospitality or the thrill of a five-day water festival where joining a water war is as easy as saying 'Sawatdee!' or 'Hello' for my English readers.

About 200 girls taken from their homes, about 200 girls all on their own...

We all have stories to tell, some more exciting than others, but I think it's a matter of perspective, it depends on how you see things. Mine's an ordinary one, as ordinary as life gets. It's probably a plain book with a really plain cover, with a single word written as the title. It's probably called Jamie, sitting away on some shelf somewhere, getting dusty and yellowed with age. I think it's time to bring it down from the shelf, blow off the dust and open it up, to the point where I met Josh, because that's where my life truly began. And maybe, just maybe ordinary isn't ordinary at all...

here is maë. girl. mortal. philosopher. harbinger of death. here is armie. boy. god. lover. armageddon. and here is the end of the world.

I'm presenting here how it all started, the beginning of my book. 'Lesbian Crushes and Bulimia' is a real-life diary portrayal of an obsessive nineteen year old lesbian, Natasha, whose internal homophobia, alongside infatuations with other women, bring her condemnation in both her gay and straight environments and drive her into a state of compulsive binge-eating and purging. Described as "a compelling read" in the rite of passage genre by Helena Whitbread, editor of The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister, Helena draws a parallel between this book and the classics, "Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger and "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath. Edited from detailed, encoded diary entries, the story begins in the summer of 1989. Natasha is obsessively, unrequitedly in love with her former teacher, Miss Williams, a love which she declares openly as a tattoo on her wrist. She meets Alex, a girl her own age, who questions her about the tattoo, revealing her own remarkably similar obsessive love for her former teacher, Miss Wilson. A romance blossoms between the two girls. Alex is slim and beautiful, Natasha is not.

-C'EST TRES BEAU, ai-je dit très fort. -JE SAIS. Il s'est assis sur un banc au bord de l'eau calme et je l'ai imité. Il a souri. J'ai souri. Le héron a souri. Son regard s'est posé sur moi et m'a détaillée très longtemps, si longtemps que j'ai pensé qu'il allait m'embrasser. Et puis je me suis souvenue que j'avais le look d'un camionneur texan et ça m'a rassurée. -Tu sais l'ami, ai-je dit au bout d'un moment, avant de te connaître, j'étais convaincue que tu étais le genre de type à associer chaque prénom de fille à une paire de fesses. Il a ri silencieusement. Dans ce havre de paix, au cœur de la nature, à la naissance du jour, s'élevait ma voix d'ogre. -Je suis contente qu'on soit amis. Il a eu l'air très ému. -Tu ne m'avais jamais dit un truc pareil. C'est cool. Jusqu'à présent, j'avais peur de n'être rien pour toi. C'est moi ou les garçons d'aujourd'hui n'ont plus grand-chose à voir avec ceux d'avant ? Ils ont besoin qu'on les prenne dans nos bras, qu'on tue les araignées pour eux, qu'on les traite d'amis... Pardon mais on est assez loin du Cyrano ou du Marlon Brando. -C'est la première fois que j'amène quelqu'un ici... M'a-t-il confié à mi-voix. Je ne sais jamais très bien quoi dire dans ce genre de situation très pacifiste. -Pourquoi moi ? -Parce que Angélique, je suis un âne et tu es ma carotte. #5 in HUMOUR Désolée, ce livre n'est malheureusement plus disponible sur Wattpad (après ses 4 années d'existence sur cette merveilleuse plateforme) car il sortira en librairie en avril 2019 (maison d'édition Fleurus) !
