Do you think I will feel better about myself if I...
YES. YES. YES.
I think it’s our natural instinct to compare, even unconsciously, and the images take up SO much unnecessary space.
The times in my life when I’ve been the happiest and least insecure were the times that I was most isolated from popular media or most exposed to real actual human beings.
This is why every time I go to Los Angeles, I leave hating myself and caring...

Is there some secret about how to make friends at...
I think maybe the trick is to get their contact details and follow up with invitations to participate in non-music related activities. Local shows are a great place to identify people who share similar interests, but it’s impossible to bond while shouting over the top of a live band in a busy club, or in the 5 minutes it takes to smoke a cigarette in the alley in between sets.

Could you please make me a mix tape?
yes! are you in the mood for a bright or dark mix?
right now i could probably pull off either one of these themes:
a) i can see the sunshine from my desk - or -
b) i said ‘hello’ and you stomped on my heart

4-Part Formspring Question About Pot Pasted Into...
Q: i know there’s potostraddle now, and i’m not expecting this to be published, and i don’t want it to be. i’m just saying it’s disgusting how much you’ve talked about weed on here. weed is illegal for a reason, and no matter what you say about it. it’s still a big deal in practically all schools across the nation. And to have so many young women (like myself) look up to you and admire the person...

i’m feeling pretty irritated right now, so i would say that you should determine her insecurities and then exploit them whenever possible and also tell her what an insensitive and disrespectful asshole she is and then unfriend her on facebook.
then go shopping and maybe get lunch. have you ever had the roasted vegetable and goat cheese pizza at the cheesecake factory? DELICIOUS.

Well, technically there was only one REALLY beastly commenter on AS, most everyone seemed super positive/welcoming, which makes me happy!
Do comments like that make me want to throatpunch somebody’s eyeballs when I engage with them? Sure. But generally, I know it’s par for the course.
I have to believe that if you approach something with a nice/open-minded/inclusive intent and bring...
