Glados: did you know that people with guilty consciences are more easily startled by loud noises--[train horn]—
Silence. I unfriend you
Night is the hardest time to be alive. 4am knows all my secrets
I have come hear to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum
It’s not true that I had nothing on, I had the radio on
Scared motherfucker?? Well you should be
Alright, now for the important stuff
For those following the story at home
This incident happened after the 1st orgasm episode and before the Cream’d episode
Four points of view. Four stories. Four films. Once incident
Rashomon style
A true life journey into the mind of a female sexual deviant
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you – Maya Angelou
Story one
Quick: what's the situation? Oh, hey, hi pretty lady. My name's Rick. So, you out having a little adventure?
My story
1997
My childhood beach
Somewhere in australia
9am
To feel anything makes you realise you’re alive
The day after the incident in the 1st orgasm episode
I felt a lot
If you know what I mean
That day made my dopamine levels go all silly
I wanted more
I needed more
Go be yourself is just about the worst advice you can give some people
I went hunting for shame
Everyone on the beach could see me
And I enjoyed watching them watching me
The look of shock on their normal faces
This was not your stock standard occurrence for a Tuesday at this beach
And the whole time it felt like someone was following me
But all the other attention distracted me
Men would walk with me
Talking about everything apart from me being naked next to them
Plausible deniability I guess
But this is what they were looking at. We both knew that.
And this was me watching them watching me
This was starting to be my thing
But I had to find a stationary target
And I found him
Just a random guy
We were both in the right place at the right time
This was the approach
And this was the actual distance we were separated by
And then the show began
There was a lot of preparation to get through
I never realised how long towels take to unfold
A long time
I have always believed
That towel neatness is a virtue
I used the word virtue. That’s funny to me anyway.
And the hunt began with a look
More a confrontational stare really
Then the fastidiousness began
Such organisational skills
I wish my room at home was this neat
You can see what’s going on right?
I think it’s a similar thing that peacocks do
And then
Act one, scene one – horizontal
But first
One must adjust one’s hair
One must check if one has an audience
And one must protect oneself against skin cancer
Very very important
I’ll be quiet for a moment
So that was all fine
But I thought to myself
Wouldn’t it be more interesting
If we could see each other
And it was
This isn’t slow motion
This is the actual speed I was moving at
The same as when you’re in a car crash
Everything goes slow and weird
If you’ve been in a car accident
You’ll know what I mean
And then I needed to check if the ocean was still there
It was
And that was exciting to know
What about the sand I thought
The sand was still there
I always like to be on solid ground
Otherwise one might fall over
And then act two
Not falling over. Swimming
But first, the most important thing I had to do
Was to ensure I had an audience
Because is a tree falls in the forest and no-one sees it
Is it able to punish itself with shame?
To be continued
Welcome to my mind
Get out while you can
There is no shame without permission

Philip Seymour Hoffman Jul 23, 1967 – Feb 2, 2014
I most remember Philip Seymour Hoffman for his role in Todd Solondz’s film Happiness. It was his performance, and his willingness to take on such a disturbing and morally reprehensible role in a movie with so many controversial contemporary themes, that allowed me to believe that one day I could tell this story in film
Rock paper scissors
To be or not to be
Hello or goodbye
High or clean
Yes or no
Life or death
Sad or happy
Trick or treat
Roll the dice and shut the fuck up
The concept of range
In the movie business
This is called having range
Philip Seymour Hoffman had range. Lots of it
