dirty little habit

Remember in The Ice Harvest how John Cusack is always scrawling "As Wichita falls, so falls Wichita Falls" on everything? No? I guess I really am the only person who saw that movie.

I'm a huge fan of creative graffiti, so I have this thing I like to do. I've been doing it for a long time now, and I think of it as sort of an indicator of local culture. I collect bathroom graffiti. There. I said it. I write down the things that other people write on bathroom walls, and lately I've actually started taking pictures of the things that other people write on bathroom walls. Not all of it is suitable for public blog consumption, but some of it is fascinating, so I'm offering a sampling. If you click to enlarge them, you can read them pretty clearly.

And if you take nothing else away from this post, at least remember to always, always have a Sharpie Mini on your person at all times. 'Cuz lipstick is ew.
