How do I tell her that I can’t do long distance?
i think you have to say what you just said to me. you are allowed to stick a “i’m so sorry, baby” before or after.
What is a fun way to come out to my mom? I know she will accept me and love me just the same but I think she is going to be sad that I waited so long to tell her. I don’t want to have a ~serious~ sit down/talk. SO what is the most fun way to tell her?!
i don’t know, can you find a bunch of balloons that say “i’m gay!” and fill the living room with them and play melissa etheridge as she walks in? play twenty questions for “what did i have for lunch” and the answer is “vagina?” or is this a rainbow cupcake situation
my sister (who i’m not out to) just made me a rainbow bracelet because she “thought i would appreciate it”. i’m thinking she knows more than she lets on.
if so, congrats. she sounds like she’s fucking great, honestly.
Really all I can think about is gobbling up the whole world as fast as I can.

is there anything more painful than watching your girlfriend pack up and move across the country for reasons beyond her control? i don’t know how i’m supposed to do this.
maybe stepping on a rusty nail would be more painful. or remember when people would talk about sliding down a razor banister and landing in a pool of alcohol/lemon juice? maybe that.
i think you’re supposed to hold her close while you can and then get really good at putting together care packages.
do you have a boston accent?
no, i think the only people with real accents are the ones who grew up in saugus/revere/southie, and i did not

Am I cool or lame? LAME. Why do I tell dumb stories about myself all the time?!! Like, does anyone care? NO! So why do I do it?
Where is [redacted]? I want to fuck her.

I am depressed and like, I probably have cancer, and I have just eaten a whole pizza. Well, not yet, but I will.

Why sometimes you don’t answer questions? is it because it annoyed you? I’m curious because you never answer my questions and I want to know if perhaps I should just stop sending them
i usually have about 1000 unanswered questions in my inbox – right now i have 896. probably about 200 of them are nice things ppl said to me that i am saving for a sad rainy day. maybe 100 or so are questions or statements i think we could use in an autostraddle post or listling, but sometimes they get lost in the shuffle – that probs happens a lot.
if i don’t answer a question it’s because:
1. i don’t know the answer
2. i do know the answer, but don’t know how to say it yet
3. i start answering the question, have too many feelings and then close the window, which has the effect of making me think i did answer the question already even though i didn’t
4. i am going to answer it later
i am not the person with a crush on diver, but diver is a commenter that is a great example. she was all comment comment comment and now…radio silence. like where did that girl go? there have been others tho. its weird.
I DON’T KNOW!!! it makes me even crazier than it makes you for real.
I realized my true calling is to write a book of true essays about my funny life, like David Sedaris meets Bridget Jones meets Amy Sohn meets Megan Daum meets ten million dollars.
