My journey was real

Even if you never saw it because you were afraid to talk to me. I mean, everyone at Parliament has seen me in so many outfits that they're inured to it. Had my 'peers' done the same, then perhaps I might've helped them. - Salina essentially has tried to make me come back twice, and I'm simply not keen. I don't feel respected, and buttering me up feels like arse-kissing because I'm hot. I'm not patching things up with the NZSM. Please stop asking. L'affaire Riddell is much like L'affaire Ravel in that regard. He never won the Prix de Rome, but by that point he'd written Jeux d'eau and the String Quartet and had a number of supporters. Also, Ravel spent years auditing classes rather than as a formal student. I avoided the NZSM, but the idea is true. I was in the scene, and everyone simply wasn't that interested because I liked the wrong composers. - To my colleagues: watch the fucking Dakumentary. That's my story, and it isn't a musical, so you'll probably like it more than These Words or Portrait of a Knight. Please watch all 19 hours, then actually write me a letter. 💻
