Don't drink, don't smoke. ("What do you do?" -- Adam and the Ants, I think?) People are nonplussed when they learn I have devoted my life to celebrating, to sin, to the Dionysian, and yet I seem so -- moral. They can only understand chaos as total abandon, as gross annihilation. But that is not how it works for me. I can feel the pulse of life in a much more subtle rhythm; I do not need to destroy order because I can feel the chaos seething underneath it. My own exuberance finds form in the infinite depth of my love for gentler pleasures, gentler tastes. I enrapture myself on instinct and on consciousness, not on loss or dulling or in-toxic-ation. I feast on garlic stuffed olives and steak soup with brie and brown sauce and whole wheat bread with week-old butter, not pills or needles. My orgies (usually) take only one other participant -- at most! -- and, if I want, I can get drunk on water. There is more feeling of power in the quiet flexing of my muscles on a long walk about town, than in the routinized absurdity of club dancing. These are my reveries. > Message: 4 > Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2004 09:45:48 -0800 > From: Sylvie Ruelle <sylvieruelle-AT-earthlink.net> > Subject: Re: [D-G] Don't explain deleuze please > To: deleuze-guattari-driftline.org-AT-lists.driftline.org > Message-ID: <0198C815-3FD3-11D9-88FF-000A956E3E42-AT-earthlink.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed > > i remember someone saying at one time: "why is your life so boring? > Have you ever tried drugs?
