I can't swear to be an "average" reader, but I am a young lawyer. I stumbled across Tucker's site in law school (reading that while sitting in evidence class is excellent training in the control of facial expression) and now read all of the Rudius family of sites regularly. I don't know how people worked desk jobs before the internet.

I especially enjoy your site because the descriptions of various experiences I have also been through (law school parties, interactions with the bench and bar, etc.) are dead on. I often wonder while sitting in court if I am the only one in the room who notices what a completely ridiculous waste of time and resources the whole bullshit circus often is.

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the book.

I would assume that I may be your average reader. Thirty, lawyer of some type some type of litigation most likely, male, often identified as a ten percenter.

Your reader base is probably 70% ten percenters.

I'm Boldn'Brazen, honey, and your number one fan.

Okay, maybe not really the latter, but definitely the former.

I'm an everyman I guess. I am not a lawyer, nor do I have more than a passing interest in the legal system, unless it involves me being charged with a crime. I read most of the Rudius sites, and find your stories to be some of the best written and most humorous overall.

I'm a reader!

33, financial services angling for my own story to break into the writing/entertainment world. Have laptop, will travel.

Senior in college, engineering major with a job starting in June. I read this blog along with bill dawes and devilmonkey during my more boring grad classes at night.

Thanks for the writing. I am a 21 year old former pre-law student, thanks in large part to yours and Tucker's writing

I've been an avid reader for some time now. I am a senior in college, and an assistant engineer on a high-rise construction project. I grew up near Philly, and now I live in Boston. Like yourself, I feel that I fall in the "10%" group of people, for pretty much all of the reasons you have listed. i share your interests in music and alcohol, although I haven't yet experimented with anything else, although you put coke in a really interesting light. I look forward to your future posts, keep the good stuff coming!

21 year old male college (psychology) student. New Orleans. Avid Reader. Hurray Demographics!

Also a college student in an engineering major, as I suspect many of your readers are. I suspect that your writing is a bit too harsh to appeal to the average liberal arts student.

I am a college sophomore interested in business but i idenify as a ten percenter and like your comedic style

I may not be your average reader, but there are other readers out there apart from the law school/lawyer crowd. I stumbled on this site through Tucker's and while I love his writing, I now prefer your site.

I am a freshman business major and a lot of your writing resonates with me despite the fact that I have so much more still to experience in life. I will definitely cop the book when it comes out.

I read this site religiously and I think that it is by far the best site on the circuit. I'm an 18 year old male who is sick of high school and enjoys reading good writing. I'm looking to be a engineer/biologist. Actually, I have no idea what I want to be, but I don't want to be a lawyer. Thanks for the fantastic writing and entertainment. As most people on here, I'm a ten precenter.

I work at a Healthcare IT company in the midwest - 24 year old male who started reading Tucker Max a couple of years ago. Since then, I have been a frequent reader of yours and Robert Greene's site. One thing I get from this is a semblance of balance between pragmatism and the laissez faire attitude I have towards "the daily grind".

21 year old engineering student...Nuff said.

24 year old law student who checks your site (and most of the rudius sites) for updates when my profs and the gunners start engaging in useless hypos that no bearing on anything I'll need to know for my future job(s). I identify with the 10% article so much that I can honestly say it touched me more than any other piece of writing I've ever had the priviledge to read. Keep it up, and I can't wait to read the book

21 year old prelaw student, a ten percenter. Used to read Tucker's blog when he posted regularly, started reading the others but yours is the best (along with for Hoo-ah, but yeah...)

I'm a recently graduated history major from UCDavis who has too much time on his hands now that school is over.

22, law student, just livin the dream. Love the writing.

25 y/o male, ten percenter. Former derelict musician in contemporary music school turned law student on the cusp of a litigation position in PA.

Your writing strikes me, not because I necessarily have shared all of your experiences, but because I identify with many things in your writing that I have felt, but could never put into words, i.e. the vehemence to validity ratio.

Can't wait for the books and more updates, whenever they may arrive.

20 years old, Junior in a small liberal arts college, English/History major who's toying with being a teacher or attending law school. Found the site through Tucker, and I'm hooked.

I suppose that fundamentalist Christian bitch in Coloring Book Land represents a few of us viewers too.

21 year old FEMALE, college senior.

Probably not a 10 percenter.

...and I heart your writing so hard!

I'm 18 years old, I am a trumpet performance major at one of the top conservatories in the world, and a composer who works against the popular edge of atonal, arythymic banality. I have always been incredibly disgusted with the sheer quantity of facades that people put on to deal with other people. Upon discovering this webring, I was delighted to find that there are other people out there like me, and knowing that has helped me become less of an elistist bastard, and more of a person just living life honestly. In short, you could say that your's and Tucker's writing helped me become a far better person than I think I would have become without it. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world.

college. 21. engineer. smart / lazy. 10%. no fucking chance of ever being a law student.

I'm a 20 year-old male, college student, Real Estate Development Major in Alabama. Your writing is second-to-none: I'm constantly checking for updates on Yours, Tucker's, and Bill's sites. I'm stoked for the book. Your writing makes me wonder how my dad feels about his job (Middle-aged trial lawyer).

26 year old female. Public defense.

20 year old male college student here. I'm majoring in computer science. I live on the west coast. I really got interested when I read your definition of "ten percenter" and new instantly I was a ten percenter.

20 yo male from Jerusalem, Israel. History student. Keep up the good stuff.

I'm a 22 year old carpenter, formerly a mechanical engineering student, based out of perth Western Australia, i started reading this page after being a fan of tucker max and i have to say even knowing nothing of law the stories are excellent and very entertaining to read

39 year old lawyer- the oldest reader so far who actually admits following this site, to the exclusion of all other things legal. I don't know how long you've been practicing, but you nailed everything I've seen so far in my 15 years.

I am a long-term unemployed man in his early thirties, who still lives with his parents and reads comics.

This weekend just gone, there was a Star Trek film on TV and I watched some of it.

I pray that I am in no way representative of your readers.

26-year old male who works at a worker bee office job and identifies with your theme of mentally resisting the system, while outwardly playing along because you need the money or whatever.

I'm smart, but in that dime-a-dozen 120ish IQ sort of way. I'd like to think I have somewhat decent people skills so I can relate to your depictions of being trapped with all the social retards.

I haven't done as many drugs as you have, but I've done enough, or been around people who have, that I can relate to the partying elements of your stories.

I'm male, 30 and I'm a "professional". I'd like to say I'm above average intelligence... but I'm not.

21 male engineering @ Temple (barfs)

23 y/o male working in publishing who can't stand working for anyone. I identify with your writing, not so much with the setting, but the underlying reason for your writing and the environment from which you're writing. Best of luck.

24, male, I work in Data support/Network operations. I have been reading Tuckers site for a few years and only found your stories through his site. My job has a lot of downtime so I search for things to read and keep me from falling asleep. Your stories are great and really keep me entertained. I check for updates daily. I drink more than most, I smoke reefer like its going out of style, I spend money I don't have and generally have a fuck it all attidude about everything. I don't take much of anything seriously and basically walk around like a zombie until the weekend but reading your site keeps me awake and sometimes even cheers me up during the week.

I'm a 17 year old on my last year of high school. I'm not in law in any way shape or form and i don't intend to be. However, I find that your site imparts some truly valuable lessons in life that i'm sure are going to serve me well later on and that no-one else would have told me.
Namely, "don't take things to seriously".
Not only that but you're a fantastic writer and i truly enjoy reading you're unique style and perspective. So thank you Philalawyer for the help you've given me.

I don't think I represent your average reader. However, I just thought i'd let you know that you hold appeal for even a young crowd. So long as their conscientious.

Looking forward to the book!

According the rest of the comments, looks like I'm atypical. I'm a 26 year old woman from the Midwest. No professional type career, but not a dead end job either. Was a big fan of Tucker and then took a look at what you had when your site first got added. The somewhat drier, more detached style of your work was a little difficult at first, but I've really come to appreciate each new entry. It's crack inside a mind I can identify with. Thanks!

31, M, Software Engineer, Large city in the South East US. I can't explain why I read your blog, I just find it entertaining.

27, white male. Raised Catholic. Undergrad in Computer Science, currently 2 classes away from finishing my MBA.

I work full-time as a sales manager. I do enough to stay in the company limelight without working too hard. Outside of the office I like to drink heavily and laugh at people scrambling for the house and kids. I would prefer to chase some cheap ass, pass out drinking Jameson, and spend Saturdays slugging beers while fishing.

I am a 10%er.

I'm a 23 year old IT professional living in Blue Bell. My job is boring as hell so I spend most of my time reading blogs and somehow managed to stumble across yours this summer. I like your writing style, and I find it interesting since you're relatively local to me.

Looking forward to the book and new posts, keep up the good work!

I'm not sure if I'm an average reader, but I'm a 24 year old real estate developer in Orlando, FL. I stumbled upon your site after a friend told me about Tucker Max. Good stuff, keep'em coming!

Like most your readers, I have fallen into the trap of passive entertainment my whole life. My opinion is that well-written and articulate 'blogs' like yours are helping people realize that reading is a much better form of entertainment than television. Writing that promotes intelligent and entertaining dialouge without being overly-scholarly is an important step in bridging the gap between career vidiots and people who are able to see behind the curtain. Saying your site is about being a lawyer is like saying Million Dollar Baby is a movie about boxing. Both have certainly helped me to view social relationships from a different angle. And to that I say thanks.

Your average reader? I don't think that "average" would describe anybody that reads your blog.

I am a Philadelphia resident as well, and have been for the last 17 years. I am graduating Drexel this year, and am a former UPenn student. I hail from Europe originally, however.

I currently work as a Network Administrator for an ISP. While that is my official title, I might as well be called "that guy that does everything with computers". I manage the network, security, VPN, servers, desktops, applications, active directory, email, etc.

So, like you, work has a tendency to keep me busy.

Very likely NOT your average reader, but I'm usually wrong about that sort of thing.

Your average reader: Just about anyone. My guess is predominantly in the law field, but I suspect a surprising percentage is outside of the law field. A common theme is most of us probably are disillusioned with "careers" and all that jazz.

I am an engineer with a great deal of industry research experience (the kind that gets companies patents) who is tired of the rat race, and is now back in med school.

(ps. longtime reader, since http://philawyer.blogspot.com)

I'm a 20 year old student/comic book writer. The way you describe working in law pretty much dominates my conceptions of it, and pretty much put me off the entire field. Thank you. You've saved one more person from the soul crushing work of being a lawyer.

27 yr old/male typical IT loser with a drinking problem. Love the stories and looking forward to a nice cohesive book out of you. I come here for inspiration to write, especially from you and Eric Schaeffer.

28 yo M - not a lawyer but can appreciate the corporate droning that you often describe. i read your tails of despair at your job while mired in despair at mine...

21, male, University of Copenhagen, way too much time in my hands. Well read and alcoholic.

I'm a 22 year old male, just completed a degree in Classical Languages: Latin. So I'm going to work for Goodwill for a bit. I finally started reading PhilaLawyer when Robert Greene's blog and the rest of Festering Ass got more or less codified. I'm a dedicated PL, PSW, and Tucker Max reader.

I think your best piece yet was the election -what better way to end a reflection on last year's politics than with touches of Dadism and David Lynch?

28 year old 3rd year law student. Hate law school and the douche-bags that go there. Your stories confirm every fear I have about this god-forsaken mess that I am getting myself in to.

It would seem the average reader is a 20-something male, well educated with some form of interest in writing that pierces social conventions. Even if it sometimes borders on disillusionment, your writing fills the function of being the literary beacon that answers the question "is it just me?" when we think about the hypocracy we encounter.

To put it differently, this crowd is more likely to have been amused by american psycho and fight club rather than by titanic.

Congrats on your successes by the way. Mark Twain said it best:
"Honesty is the best policy - when there is money in it."
Cheers!

Now get back to work you bum. You heard Bonerman5000 is in jail for aiding in the violation of the 3rd Ammendment and repeatedly running afoul of the Mann Act?

Pizza! Pizza!

PL Response: I told you calling them mercenaries wouldn't get you out of those immigration charges.

I think the Mann Act only applies to traditional sex acts. But then there's always the jury nullification thing... See "State v. R.Kelly."

22, toronto, york university student. i should be graduating soon with IT degree. I started wtih Tucker's site when i was 19, i now think he is for the large part exaduration and a bit damaged, but a good writer.

I read most of your site in class. I get bored easy and I've got a laptop. I must say you and DevilMonkey are my favorite. I tried reading other sites, but they aren't as entertaining.

PL: Thank you. I edited the end of your post because, if you want to take a shot at her, do it on her site.

35 year old female litigator. Not a Ten Percenter or someone who shares any common ground with your average Ten Percenter. But I appreciate them from afar.

Your take on the legal profession (at least, litigation)is pitch-perfect. I just listened to a half hour argument over the use of commas versus semi colons.

20, carpenter in Texas, appreciates you and others who write for Rudius because of our similar objective outlook on life.

25 year old recent law school graduate in California who is somewhat anti social and reads these genere of blogs to kill time at work. But I specifically read your blog to remind myself why I want to avoid the law firm life despite the enticing paycheck.

23 year old Female, soon to be college graduate with a degree in English Writing, heading to graduate school there after to get a masters in English Writing so I can be an editor. I love reading your site because I can related to your exasperation with the maddening grind of things, with the over rated hype, and with all of the bull shit that could be so simple but isn't. It seems so pointless, but it's what we do. I work for a real estate company and find a lot of the same skeezy personality types you describe on a daily basis.
Finding people to relate to isn't too hard, but finding someone who can do it without sounding like a whiney bitch is hard. That's why I read your site and all the other Rudius sites bi-weekly. I started Reading Tucker's site about 2 years ago and have read all of the Rudius blogs as they've popped up.
I read you because you're the voice of our generation. As an editor in training, though a good portion of my training has been in classical literature, I keep my finger on the pulse of contemporary publications. I want to know what people are saying, what people are reading, how people are feeling and what they're relating to NOW. I think these sites get a lot of flack as being too pop culture, but even in the most vulgar, carnal, and depraved blogs I can see cultural relevance because these are the things that people do, say, think, and the way we are. So, congrats on the book; wish I could publish you.

male, 23, 2nd year med student in europe

Insight (4:17) has it right, though I think your readership will skew into the 30s when the book hits. Just imagine all those Newspaper Guys marching down their halls, toilet paper bookmarks sticking out of your first novel...

I found you through Slingblade's post and have savored your writing ever since. Congratulations on the success.

male, 24, 2nd year grad student. I'm read usually when I should be listening to what the lecturer is saying.

22 year old law student. Your stories are brilliantly written and make me laugh while cringing simultaneously.

17, male, I'm a highschool senior and love you're in writing in a biblical sense. It's so packed with wisdom an humor, and when I see what you write happen in real life I laugh. I'm completely undecided about a college major but I know law will not be one, thanks Phila lawyer

24 year old college student who is tired of college and now just wants a piece of paper with his name on it. I love good writing and that's what you give me. I would read books but they end up eating too much of my time so I've switched to blogs which now eat almost as much time.

18, male, english/pre-med major at a large southern university. Found your site through Tucker's. Funny but important stuff, keep it up. VERY frustrated writer, but I've learned the good stuff with come with experiences, so I'm trying to just get the basics and see where life leads me.

I am probably you're least likely reader. 21 year old college male, who after reading the majority of your stories still has aspirations to be a lawyer. Don't get me wrong, they are reasons beyond myself... but what the hell

Bored 17 male excelling at highschool without any real effort or attendance. Read generally instead of attending class and love it because its a frank and intelligent view on many things, and after reading I tend to agree with alot of it too

I'm 25 years old, a computer engineering graduate, born,brought up and currently living in India but got my undergraduate degree in Boston. I work for both my family businesses(engineering), have started a separate venture of my own on the side, and tutor street kids in my spare time. I'm a Ten-percenter and identified most with that amazingly insightful piece of writing, though I love most of the stuff you put up. I started reading your blog when I should have been writing my MBA application essays.Congratulations on your success thus far,and I wish you all the best in the future, coz I'm gonna read all of it.

26, male from Melbourne, Australia in the IT industry. Stumbled on your site from Gaijin Smash and kept reading because you remind me of Patrick Bateman.

28 year old criminal barrister from London. We have pretty much the same problems over here except we get to wear bat-man capes and pieces of horse's backsides on our head whilst in court. Your descriptions of absolute honesty in court have lead to some almost certainly career slaughtering temptations.

I'm a 19 year old Radiology student. I found the site through TuckerMax.com and I like the real world lawyer stories over the TV verisions. My favorite is Dancing Queen and can't wait for the rest of Costanza Method.

21, MALE, Architecture Student at Temple University in North Philadelphia. I read most all of rudius, came across Philalawyer when Tucker posted about it when it was just a blog. Love the writing, minus a lot of the law jargin, but it comes with the territory.

I'm a law student and half of my friends here read this site religiously...I would say that law students are defenitely part of your average readers. Especially the ten percenter article...it's great that someone wrote down what we're all thinking about all the damn people here.

I find it hilarious how many people post here claiming to be a ten percenter. What a bunch of tools.

You asked for responses describing what your average reader was. Here is one description.

I am a 39 y.o. white male. I went to an average (i.e., second tier) Los Angeles law school and work for an average insurance defense law firm. I, along with my fellow associates, am best referred to by the acronym FABU - Fungible Associate Billing Unit. The work I do is boring, repetitive legal work that, in another time and place, would have been handled exclusively by secretaries, clerks and, at best, paralegals. We are assigned by the insurance companies who pay our bills. Typically, the clients don't like us and the insurance carriers regard us as a negative on their balance sheets and treat us accordingly.

"...slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."

30 year old attorney in St. Louis, MO. Great writing, my friend.

By the way, the story about the acid/house party brought back more memories than I can count. Except, we DID get arrested at the end.

29yr. old 2L at T10

Fan of yours when you were on blogspot (heard about you from some guys I used to play cards with) and I had a job that I genuinely enjoyed before I fucked it up by coming to LS. Too humble to consider myself a 10% though I identify with just about everything you write.
Basically figuring out how to make $ with a JD and not put up with the firm bullshit.
You have a huge fan base amongst the few alphas at this LS.

I'm male. A 25 year old sheet metal worker, slowly taking over the family business. I'm very computer literate but I don't have much of a college education to speak of.

I read your page because it's highly entertaining and it gives me a different perspective of the inner workings of the legal system. I've sent you a message in the past to ask for advice on a traffic citation and you were helpful in telling me that I'm pretty much shit out of luck and not to try harder. It was the truth, and maybe I just needed to hear it from someone in the know.

As for where I picked your page up - A friend of mine introduced me to Tucker Maxx a long time ago, and I stumbled across your page from there. Keep up the good work, man. It's always entertaining.

16 year old high school student trying to figure everything out. I love your writing and would buy any book you write in a hearbeat.

22, college senior, environmental policy (don't ask me why). Stumbled across your old site when you posted in one of the Dimeo threads on Tucker's board. Dug it. Managed to get your site blocked at a Fortune 500 company this summer by reading it at work too much.

I'm a high school debater who saw your link on Tucker Max's website. Male. Never gotten high or drunk, still find this shit entertaining. If you ever make a book I'll probably buy it.

I am a 21-year-old legal assistant/paralegal in a small firm in Atlanta. As with most of your readers, I was first introduced to your site through TuckerMax. I have since stopped reading Tucker's site in favor of some of the other writers like yourself, DevilMonkey, and Bill Dawes. I find your writing style to be highly engaging, and you talk about subjects that I can easily relate to: the complete and utter bullshit that is the modern-day judicial system and heavy drug use. Keep up the good work!

26/M, Recent Law Grad doing IP work. Discovered your stuff one day during During Con Law and have been reading ever since. I can't thank you enough for making so many pointless discussions bearable and reassuring me that I'm not the only one that thinks this is all total bullshit.

I am 29 years old and a physican in the Midwest. I found your site through TuckerMax's site. I have sicne dated many attorneys, including a guy who was a partner at one of Chicago's largest law firms. He was a slime ball, just like many of the other attorneys I've dated!... Well, I can't stereotype everyone in your profession, but your site really rings true. The dishonesty, the bullshit, the fixation with image, "not smart enough to get into medical school...." You can tell I'm a bit bitter! Anyway, your writing is lovely, I can not wait for the book to come out.

I'm a college freshman working on pre-law, female, 18 years old. I really love your work and like many of the others I would buy anything your wrote in a heartbeat.

I'm a CPA in my late 20s, and I work in a public accounting firm in Seattle. Oh yeah, and I'm male. I found your site the same way everyone else does, through Tucker's. His shit is hilarious, and just about insane, but between you and me (and everyone else who reads these comments) you're the better writer PL. I love your stories. I'm a drinker, and really not much of a partier these days (5 years removed from college) but your stories have inspired me. I think I'm going to go buy some Wild Turkey and some N2O and have a little fun...

19 year old college sophomore majoring in poli sci. I read a lot of blogs and yours is possibly my favorite. Can't wait for the book!

23 year old first year law student. Found about the site from a college baseball teammate who was most definitely a ten percenter.

I'm a 22 year old chemistry student. Smart, overachieving, and loves drug/alcohol induced mayhem and stories. Found this site from Tuckers and I like your style. It's like you say exactly what I think but never had the ability to express.

by the way, I don't bother with Tucker or anyone else's website. I received your philalawyer.blogspot.com link years ago, and found out about tucker through your site.

PL Response: Thank you. I edited the last line of your comment because, while your input is appreciated, I don't want to be compared with the other sites. But again, thank you for your long time support.

I wish you success with the book PL-

I'm sixteen, I'm in 11th grade.... I'm a big fan of tucker so anytime there's a new Rudius Media site I check it out, and I liked yours

I am 23, young professional in Philadelphia -Manayunk to be exact(in the snobbiest voice possible)

i just figured out how to get a URL on there... sorry for the repost.

Lawyer, early thirties, knew about the 10% rule before it became a denomination of which every lawyer thinks he is a part. Reading here and throwing scraps to an imprisoned Id who has long been caged due to the pursuit of the American Dream. Hunter Thompson in pinstripe shackles.

I'm a lawyer in philadelphia, female, 27. I don't know what the hell a 10 percenter is.

23 male recently graduated with a BA in Economics... found it through Tucker. We have similar tastes in music, drugs, reading/writing, outlook on life. I have connected to your writing style (maybe because I am unable to do it as well as you)

23-year-old male. I was a political science major at a Good College and decided at the last second not to take the law school track. Now I work an office job for a big tech company in the Bay Area.

For me reading your site was almost like reading Fight Club for the first time in that it pulled back the curtain. Not that anyone still believed that being a young wealthy lawyer was glamorous, but there's nothing I love more than laughing at our generation's dogged insistence that we are Making A Difference.

24 year old white male in florida. 3d year law student, i work at the state attorney's office as a certified legal intern. love your site.

21 year old male, UK, journalism student.

I am an eighteen year old female that was raised by two lawyers until my father decided to become a firefighter/paramedic at 43. He taught me to see beyond the pinstripe mirage to the soul (or lack thereof) inside the lawyer and not just write them all off. Lucky you, you get to write them off anyway. I'm currently taking a year off to live in Spain before I head back to the States for the glory of beer bongs and frat rats. I'm not sure if you have an "average reader" necessarily, and if I were you I wouldn't want one. How many reflections can a mirror handle before it shatters?

20 year old college student. Computer science major, ive been reading your stuff for at least 6 months. ummmm I was born and raised in Philadelphia and attend one of the Big 5 schools. I normally read this site when i am putting off schoolwork i guess.

21 year old in Melbourne, Australia. Female and in my final year of law degree.

love your work. its great to get an insight on the rat-race i'll soon be entering.

45, M, Ship Repair middle managegment, Tucker Max found on random google/yahoo searches of obscure words obtained from Amazon's statistically improbable phrase ...read net 6+ hours a day...information junkie...information is power, and I am bored...otherwise my nightlife is like yours...only I rarely leave the house...ie head, 4kids, two at home...

18, just graduated college, going into law school, reading to see what i'm in for, found the website off of the tuckermax one, which i've read since i was about 16, and i love this site, and run-on sentences.

20 y/o male, college student (journalism, econ). Also abandoned pre-law, thanks in large part to you and Tucker. I find myself in shock and awe at your descriptive genius.

36, career army officer (19 yrs and counting), degree in Computer Engineering... next year might be my last, I've run out of interesting things to do around here.

don't know if i'm your average reader, but i think i fit into the mould of your target audience. fascinated by human nature, how people are moulded by their environments, and the behaviour of idiots. so fascinated by odd nature of most people, but feel like i'm balanced precariously on the tightrope of normality, and afraid i could topple over the edge and become one of the deluded idiots i'm fascinated by, but yet despise.
your sight reminds my there are still sane people out there who see life for what it really is, and it feels very refreshing to read your stories, because not many people talk to each other about what you write about in your stories.

so thanks for doing this sight, and i'm looking forward to your book

24 year old author/musician/comedian hailing from tropical Queensland in Australia. Most definately a ten percenter like the vast majority of your readers.

Currently working on a book about what it is to be a man in modern Australia.

19yo male - Pharmaceutical studies Sophia Bulgaria. Found your blog through Gaijinsmash.

Not that you'll even see this, but whatever.
I'm definitely not your average reader; 17 y/o female, bored HS student. I was on TuckerMax and decided to come here because one of my Mock Trial coaches used to be a lawyer in Philadelphia. Somehow, I never felt motivated enough to leave.
