i’ll be in sydney next month. mardi gras worth checking out? first time in australia and traveling for a month. any suggestions? thanks!
Yes! If you happen to be in Sydney during Mardi Gras then you must attend Mardi Gras, at least the parade part. I truly feel like you would be missing out if you did not go.
I think my ex who broke my heart still likes me. I’m still totally in love with her. Should I consider dating her again? We just broke up last time because she was scared of commitment. I don’t really want to get my heart broken again, but I love her so m
it’s like, a girl really loved strawberry cake. it was her favorite thing to eat and her grandmother would make a strawberry cake for her every week when she was little and now her grandmother’s dead so strawberry cake is even more special to her and has such a place in her heart and her life as she knows it. and then sort of out of nowhere, she learns she has a strawberry allergy. well fuck. so her mom tries to make her grandmother’s recipe, but it’s not really as good, and also it gives her hives, a scratchy throat and an upset stomach. i mean, does it kill her? no. it’s tolerable. it’s sort of like the same cake and really, the scratchy throat goes away after a couple of days and the upset stomach, too. and the best part is that it reminds her of her grandmother and the times they had together and the little plates. it’s nice to remember that. her mother keeps trying with the recipe and the girl keeps eating it and it keeps making her violently ill and itchy. after a while it gets old, the itching and the stomach issues. it’s just exhausting, and honestly, it takes away from whatever enjoyment she could get from this cake that isn’t even as good as it was when her grandmother made it. so she asks her mom what other kinds of cakes she’s good at making – like what were her favorite cakes to bake. her mom tells her that she’s got this spice cake recipe that she perfected like, years ago, and also this new pineapple cake recipe that she’s been wanting to try. they make the two new cakes together and it’s true, the spice cake has been perfected, and the pineapple cake is kind of weird but ultimately good. they buy a cookbook full of cake recipes and they try them all. some of them are terrible. some of them are too fancy and some of them were good at first but then tasted awful. a couple were too sweet, but quite a few of them were really really fucking good. the girl made some cakes with her friends, too, and sometimes all on her own. even though she had new favorites and tons of new recipes she hadn’t even tried yet, she thought about her grandmother’s strawberry cake sometimes. she felt like it was a shame that she was allergic to strawberries, but at the same time, she was over it. there were SO MANY new cakes to eat, and she’d discovered that raspberry cake was really similar to strawberry cake, but actually better? and so far it hadn’t made her sick yet, so she was really into that these days. she had happy memories of the strawberry cake – save for the last few times she’d eaten it – and spoke highly of it to others. but mostly she was just the fuck over it. yeah?
i don’t know, babe. what does your heart tell you to do?
Is there a way to subscribe to posts so that I know if someone replies to my comment?
Yes! You need an account, I believe, which is easy and you should do it if you haven’t already. When you’re writing a comment you’ll see underneath there’s a little checkbox and under it reads “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” – check that box and you’re set.
sometimes when i feel like the united states/world is doomed i just look at your formspring and just soak in all the happiness/love/positivity (which chrome doesn’t think is a word).
i am loved and happy for you
chrome is just another robot
Exactly how many kisses does it take to make one a lesbian? Can you be straight and still have super-enormous-feelings for just one girl and no other girls?
you can be anything you want to be!
do you want to be an astronaut?
well, you can be! or you could grow an apple orchard!
or be in charge of a lot of chickens or sheep or something!
or work at costco!

Riese, I want to tell you that I offered her a t-shirt and a toothbrush when she was at my place, and she did sleep over… It had only been a year overdue. So why, thank you for the tips ! ;)

do you have a “kristin stewart comes out” stock article already prepared? the way, like, newspapers prepare obituaries in advance?
we’ve only ever done that twice
but i can’t tell you what those post topics were
laneia thinks kristin doesn’t know that she’s gay yet
i mean honestly she’s actually kinda young
it’s just that everybody’s always in her face
i don’t know personally to me i feel like all those famous people who are in all the pictures on all the screens with all the interviews, i don’t know, i just feel like it’s really hard for anyone to find any truth anywhere
that’d be a crazy day though yeah?
jesus i’d die if i wasn’t sitting at my laptop the moment that shit happened
we’d really like somebody to come out on autostraddle
i feel like that would get ‘mad hits’
so “pariah” had just ended and everyone was all tearful and contemplative, and then this douche behind me had to go and say, “well, that wasn’t very sexy.”
and baby, that’s why you’re never gonna fuck that douche behind you
Listen, Faith, why don’t you tell my story? You’ve told everybody’s story but mine. I don’t even mean my whole story, that’s my job. You probably can’t. But I mean you’ve just omitted me from the other stories, and I was there. In the restaurant and the train, right there. Where is Cassie? Where is MY life? It’s been women and men, women and men, fucking, fucking. Goddammit where the hell is my woman and woman, woman-loving life in all this? And it’s not even sensible, because we ARE friends, we work together, you even care about me at least as much as you do about Ruthy and Louise and Ann. You let them in all the time. It’s really strange, why have you left me out of everybody’s life?
I took a deep breath and turned the car toward the curb. I couldn’t drive. We sat there for about twenty minutes. Every now and then I’d say, My God! or Christ Almighty! neither of whom I usually call on, but she was stern and wouldn’t speak. Cassie, I finally said, I don’t understand it either; it’s true, though, I know what you mean. It must feel for you like a great absence of yourself. How could I allow it? But it’s not me alone, it’s them, too. I waited for her to say something. Oh but it IS my fault. Oh, but why did you wait so long? How can you forgive me?
Forgive you? She laughed. But she reached across the clutch. With her hand she turned my face to her so my eyes would look into her eyes. You are my friend, I know that, Faith, but I promise you, I won’t forgive you, she said. From now on, I’ll watch you like a hawk. I do not forgive you.

Life decisions,Laneia. I’m a week away from going back to spring semester,but I can’t decide if it will be worth it. Fall was hell and back,and frankly,the most unhappiest I had been and did the worst academically ever in three years.Logical versus heart.
some people choose logic so they can afford heart later. you could maybe be one of those people. or some people choose heart because they don’t trust ‘later.’ so you could maybe be one of those people. these are things i can’t tell just from looking at you, but probably you can.
i want someone to hold my hand and kiss my eyelids and bite my lip and text me randomly and fit into that bit between neck and shoulder and all i find are girls who would date me if i were a boy and girls who are into other girls that aren’t me. wtf dude.
it’s just not time yet. does that sound fatalistic? i think a person has to learn a certain amount about themselves and the world before they’re ready for the one who fits between their neck and shoulder. every experience you have between now and when you meet that person will be what makes meeting that person exactly what it’s supposed to be. probably having that now would be like going on space mountain when you’re 4. like there’s no way a 4 y/o can appreciate space mountain – they don’t even understand gravity.
also though, seriously, if another girl says she’d date you if you were a boy, kick her in the kneecaps. fuck that shit.
