I hope you didn't kill somebody and photograph them, but it's not entirely clear you aren't a serial killer from your description, and I thought I'd just put this here in case anything happens to me. Again, you read me wrong. We have a lot more in common than you seem to think.

No, I just had an eating disorder, which could have killed me, but didn't. Art, yay. Starving tortured artist, intentionally? I don't know, honestly.

My apologies if I read you wrong, that was not my intention. Words like robot to describe artists, mental illness, disenfranchisement, etc. Connections. We all have buttons. Easier to just call it aspergers.
