PARKER HUPF
What’s up?
Not much, I don’t really have anything notable going on and not much to lose. I’ve never done an interview before.
Where are you?
The greatest city in the world, right? Or so they say. Nobody ever leaves L.A., I’ve been trapped here for 20 years.
How would you describe your social life?
Sorely lacking in the eyes of many. I can think of about six people that would agree with me when I say that we’re friends, but that’s perfect for me. I’ve grown to be a sort of recluse.

My friends, they make wonderful, beautiful things and they will rule the world someday.

A dear friend once told me, don’t lead a life that sucks
What’s the worst thing you’ve said to someone?
Maybe “kill yourself”? I don’t think that’s all that bad though, there are certainly worse things that have been said. I’m usually pretty non-confrontational, maybe to a fault.
Are you where you want to be?
Anywhere but here.
What’s your favorite airport?
DIA. They have this giant horse called “Blucifer” it’s a statue of a blue mustang with glowing red eyes, its super freaky, it killed its sculptor who was Luis Jimenez, it’s got to be like 30 feet tall and it fell on him and severed his leg, he bled to death in his studio and wasn’t even found for a few hours, but it still stands in front of the airport. Sort of a sad story, he modeled it after the horse he bought to fulfill a childhood desire after becoming a successful artist. It now has become a sort of cult icon and has many demonic associations.
Do you save money?
I don’t have any to save. Starving student/starving artist…
When do you get political?
I’m a political science student, an avid leftist, and an aspiring domestic terrorist. I was president of the Young Democratic Socialists of Southern California when I was in high school. So I guess the answer would be almost always.
What’s your most controversial opinion?
Arm the proletariat.
What more do you need?
Time and money just like everyone else. Other than that I don’t need much. Some more inspiration, motivation, and grit couldn’t hurt either.
What’s in your fridge?
Nothing all that good to be honest. The new sugar free flavored RedBulls, Strawberry Apricot. Good expensive French cheeses that I “bought” from the Whole Foods self checkout. Heirloom tomatoes, and Coors Banquet.
Where do you shop?
Army surplus. Supply Sergeant on Hollywood Boulevard to be exact.
What do you buy?
Underwear and rations.
Where are we headed?
We live in a fading empire.

@campusangels.ai, it was a porn bot account but set up to appear as if multiple AI girls were running it. It was kinda fascinating, actually. Even the captions were generated.
What’s your last Google search?
“Employment Opportunities West Los Angeles”
“Roof tents for car”
“Little Birds: Erotica by Anais Nin”
Do you talk during sex?
I wouldn’t know, I’m a virgin.
What do you really want?
I want to be a war correspondent. I want to finish my degree and be shipped off out to the most fucked places and situations in the world. I want to rid myself of my possessions and be told what to do and where to go by some bureaucratic figure whom I will never meet, but I will get to write whatever I want to.
