“I don’t like strangers to see me cry. And I don’t like to be watched when I’m watching myself in the mirror. It’s always embarassing to catch someone watching you watch yourself.”
“When I use the bathroom in someone’s home I
always check the medicine cabinet.
(everyone does that!) I take one of each kind of pill
– prescription, asprin, whatever they’ve got – and
keep them mixed up in prescription bottles in
my own medicine cabinet.
(everybody doesn’t do that!)”
“Of course I love to people watch. People just doing ordinary things like reading the paper, eating, talking on the phone, watching their mannerisms, how they interact with others, my ex-husband masturbating once.”
“A group of us get together at a different
person’s home every month. We cook, we drink,
we catch up on each other’s lives. Instead of renting
a movie after dinner, we set ourselves up facing
out the windows and look into the neighbors homes
and we make up stories about them based on
what we see. The more we drink, the more
mean spirited the stories become.”
“On the rare occasion that I am in the bathroom with someone who needs to poop, I will avert my eyes.”
“I often walk around with explanations in my head
about something that I’m doing / carrying / wearing
in case someone approaches me and asks about it.”
“I am neither a voyeur or an exhibitionist. I am boring. What is secret and what is for public consumption is really up to the individual. For me, I am an open book.”
