right? i think that’s what extreme couponing is for. to make you forget about your life. i think that might be the sole purpose of TLC’s existence, actually — so you can forget what it’s like to be you.

oh well this is easy — you’re looking for someone. you have to not be looking for someone in order to find someone. ‘finding someone’ is actually a made up thing. you don’t find people, they find you. just keep a book in your bag and your breath fresh and your eyes open.

hm. i never ‘went out.’ i mean i’ve been out, but not often enough to know anything about bar culture, so i don’t know how you would go about not being awkward. i think the key is smoking? it seems like people who smoke have automatic friends or something. the one time i went to a gay bar alone, i just sat by myself at a table for like 3 hrs texting and checking my email....

i have not — i watched the first ~15 minutes of the first episode but the stream i got had sound and video off which drives me CAHARAZY. i turned it off when franky got out of the jeep in her purple tank top with her boobs and hair and everything. also somehow i was insanely irritated by the fact that seriously these kids paid for a vacation at a place where there’s no water in the...

i know, it’s so fucking weird. we just got doubleclick, ‘cause that’s what all the sites use who make actual money, and i have no control over what comes through. it’s actually based on your web-browsing — like if i go to the citycarshare website, when i go to autostraddle that ad will be for city carshare. but the christian mingle one comes up a lot, as does ron...

Before I started going to girl bars and dyke nights I thought they would basically be the best thing ever. I sort of imagined it would be like the fairy scenes on True Blood. Like we’d be dancing around in clean linen and falling in love with each other. Except with more Lady Gaga and more booze and I’d be wearing a hot Nicole Miller dress. Sort of like The Sims meets Gossip Girl meets...

I’m a deep believer in flowers. Maybe I’m a flower enthusiast. I have put flowers on bedside tables, in plastic cups, in vases, in between book pages, on headboards, on walls, in backpack pockets, and in my suitcases. But the best place to put a flower is near a beautiful girl — and vice versa.

i think it’s important that you be really scared about it right now
because that’s why you’ll feel so free
when you realize what college you choose
actually really
isn’t a big deal
YOU’RE a big deal. you dominate your situation.
you’ll see.
panic and pick something
for an honest reason
and go to it
and if you change your mind that’s ok too
