Little Known Fact:

In college, I submitted a very serious and well-supported proposal to the Honors College for a self-declared degree blending courses from the Philosophy, Psychology, History, English Lit and Film Studies programs in a study of human dynamics. A deep study into duality and imbalance within the psyche, and tracking and comparing cruelty and submission dynamics within societies, and how the dynamics can be interpreted through analysis of a culture's art & religion. The title? "Sado-Masochism." I could have been the University of Michigan's first graduate in S&M, Honors.

I will never forget the look on my counselor's face.
