		<description><![CDATA[Nothing is satisfying me.  I don’t know how to describe this feeling, but I want it to go away.  It’s like a compulsion to express myself.  It’s almost torture.  Get it out.  Get it out.  Get the anxiety out.  If I make you feel like me, in any way, I think, everything will be okay again.

<p>I love the feel of the charcoal pencil in my hands.  The heft and the way it spreads across the newsprint: it feels like I’m making it snow and changing the landscape.  I have to let this out.  Tomorrow, I’m going to Pearl to pick up some pencils and newsprint.</p>
<p>I’m bursting with creative energy.  I want to get this out of me.  I need to get this out through my hands, channel it.  It’s almost sexual in nature.  It’s like a desperate horniness, in a way.  I have to cum.  I have to express.  I’m building.  I’m writhing.  Nothing is satisfying me.  I don’t know how to describe this feeling, but I want it to go away.  It’s like a compulsion to express myself.  It’s almost torture.  Get it out.  Get it out.  Get the anxiety out.  If I make you feel like me, in any way, I think, everything will be okay again.</p>
<p>I hate when I have crazy thoughts like this.</p>
