Um, the POAK album wasn't my design. Karl made the film poster, and Stephen adapted it for the OST. So, that placement of 'music and lyrics by Michael Riddell' wasn't my choice. Again, I'm actually starting to question this erotomania diagnosis if this is the sort-of evidence it's based on. Re: Chloe, I'll admit it, but this shit about Sondhiem really fucks me off. - That's flimsy, and my 2020 rants were mostly me venting during and after the annoyance of talking to Natzees all day while I ran that weed ad. I'm not lying when I say that Sondheim's lyric writing books taught me how to rhyme and flow, and that's most of what made my SJW parody effective. I'd always thought I was riding a fine line there... I was making fun of my artsy friends, but I was also hoping to achieve real political change. Gary is the one who usually makes sure I'm on the right side of the line.

Also, given that I'm asexual, I question whether my desires are ultimately erotic or not. I might use techniques from erotica, but I tend to think of myself as having a voyeuristic interest in much of that rather than an active interest. I've put most of my feelings in my music, but I'm trying to do other things with my life these days, and that's not as important as it was for me last year.
