I wanted to write a book last summer. Then I realized what a terrible goal that was and modified accordingly.
Read...I’m terrified of wrongful imprisonment. To be the only one who knows the truth and have to live every day in a cell, wondering, why, god, why? [...] Sitting hooked up for gadgets to monitor every aspect of my mind and body, in a small room without any distraction, I see how a person could lose herself — or the truth — for a moment.

Read...The most important things my mother taught me included work from Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, Wham! and Whitney Houston.
