Some of us want hot, lunatic porn sex and want it forever! (pg 228)
There are two people whom I want to be like when I grow up: RuPaul and John Waters. Since I already read the RuPaul autobio, this choice of book was perfect for the next in line. I didn't even know it existed until I saw it in the library and knew that I needed it right away.
John Waters is one of my idols. I love everything he does and I love the things he chooses to be. He is hilarious and I really wish that I could just spend a day in his brain. His sense of humor is often even more disturbing than my own and I respect that. Sometimes, it's nice to know that you are not the weirdest one out there, you know?
I love that this book sort of gets into his motivations a little bit and people he looks up to as well. He likes people and things that I have never heard of, but then again, he also likes a lot of the same things that I do. I trust his judgment (except when it comes to going into dangerous bars. That might be something that I'll avoid, thank you very much.) In fact, he gives a list of books that he loves and recommends to everyone, and I think I am really going to check them all out (if I can find them, some of them are pretty obscure) because they looked very interesting.
Failing can be a relief for some. A sexual position.
A way of life. A choice. Some kind of happiness that never
lets you down. (pg 284)
His outlook on things really makes me feel better. He embraces the stranger and the ugly. He is not afraid of being laughed at or yelled at, he actively seeks it and sometimes I just wish that I were like that. I wish that I could take everything that was thrown at me and make something of it.
This book was hilarious and insightful and I highly recommend it.
