If I can't be beautiful, I want to be invisible

From Dry by Augusten Burroughs, published 2003:

Walking back from dinner past the Santa Monica pier, I notice that a lot of the homeless guys out here are pretty hot. I start thinking that it's like there's this whole, untapped resource of guys I hadn't even thought of before. All these jobless, alcoholic Mel Gibsons. Like daisies sticking up through the sidewak cracks.

How prophetic you were Augusten, how prophetic you were.
