rinuePatrick has two basic beliefs about me as a writer:
a) that I am not simply A writer, but am in fact Oscar Wilde, and
b) that I should drink more, (b) following naturally from (a).
The justification for (a) is a bit more complicated; it roots mainly in the extreme elitism that prevents me from liking many people or anything I produce. The rest breaks down into government persecution, homosexual leanings, and a love of effeminate young men - not to mention a disdain for anything insufficiently opulent. What this has to do with writing, I don't honestly know, beyond its use as a stepping stone to get to (b).
Patrick also has a theory that the Romie that writes is hiding inside the Romie that does not write, and must be plied with sufficient amounts of alcohol before she feels reckless enough to come out and do anything. I asked if it might be more accurate to say that we must sedate the Romie that does not write so as to dispense with some sort of jailer or dominant personality, but Patrick believes not. Patrick does, however, grant that perhaps the Romie that writes is flushed out of her lair by the flood of liquor, as he seems to picture the Romie that writes as a very small person who lives in my stomach.
I find it can sometimes be fooled with cranberry juice.
