Seeing is not only with the eyes. As I sit here . cross legged, in a corner of the SF airport I notice people glancing at me and, except for the children, looking quickly away. I think they see a tough, Goth girl doing her own independent thing, boldly traveling around the world with just her backpack. Does anyone see the scared kid whose never been anywhere by herself before? Now look at that weirdo coming toward me. Staggering-drunk probably. Mental problems too...
Like life? Don't look once - look twice. Don't look shallow - look deep. Don't think you know what something is based on surface images and your own internal prejudice. I look fine - sometimes I even sound fine - sometimes I admit I hate my mother because she went and died.
It's amazing what you humans come up with sometimes. These pictures do, however, confirm something I've observed about the human race: you like to deceive yourselves.

Ah, right up my alley. I studied art history at Cambridge.
I really like illusionist art because it really does best represent the world as it is.

You would know, djinna.
And just what do you mean by that?
Think carefully before you answer, if you want to feed again anytime soon...
I mean I'm off to the strip club to enjoy some illusions.
See ya!

Scruffy,
Please leave my tentacles alone. They are not legs.
DOWN!

Kalila,
No doubt.
Demons like to deceive themselves too, though. I think it's like a disease we caught from humans.
WOOF!
wag, wag, wag, wag
slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp
It's like magic. you have to enter into a different sort of mindset, a state between two places. That was fun!

I think scruffy just licked off some of the chalk from the pavement.
