Respect my wishes

I've made plans for 2024. I'm not going to do any acting in 2025, either. Here's why I'm so obsessed with writing rather than acting, despite everyone saying that I'm a drag queen and therefore I must embarrass myself by sucking in some lame shorts and a lame feature because people hate me.

That's really insulting. The entire reason you're angry are my songs and my writings. Your notes annoy me, and your vision makes me feel like a sex object that isn't allowed to have her own thoughts and feelings on controversial issues. I put up with all of your bullshit, so put up with mine in a similar spirit of jocularity. This is not a good time of the year to fuck with me. Statistically, this first few months of the year is when I am most likely to end up in crisis. - People can imagine whatever they like into my book, and that's a relief after spending every moment of every day hyper-conscious of my clothes for the last several years.

That's why I love prose. It's much like when I discovered how effective those AM films were: that was what I was into during 2022, then 2023 I made the Dakumentary, and 2024 is going to be this new book.👍🏻 - I don't want to be blonde. I'm not painting my nails or dyeing my hair.

I realise that most people do. I prefer to stand out by sticking to my style rules, even if those sound dumb to everyone else.

Notice that my style does use facial hair. That is something I thought would be cool, but my brother kind of took the beard thing, so this was what I figured out.
