patrick is the worst kind of creative type you can encounter, which is another reason i find him endlessly entertaining. his abnormal, repulsive behavior ensures he will never manage to achieve the faintest relevance; he's the village idiot in every writer demesne - and how could he not be? have you seen how fucking fat the guy is? only he can occupy so much space at once.
