the other day i googled her for the first time b/c i realized i’d never googled her, and i found this video of her and she was like ‘omg don’t watch it’ so i thought it would be good to put on tumblr ISN’T SHE THE CUTEST THING EVER

1. meijers is so overwhelming oh god
2. gosh, you guys have a lot of pickup trucks!
3. where is there an indian grocery oh god what will i eat
4. party store!
5. i took a thirty-minute walk and two different polite older/elderly men told me i was pretty, and only one was intoxicated!
er behavior really angers and upsets me. I am not good at confrontation. I don’t know how much of it is my own paranoia. Other friends have noticed. Do you have any advice?

Actually I’ve been in nearly an identical situation
Even to the degree that when anyone gave her food as a gift
it would always be passed on to me
and then i felt like i couldn’t refuse to take it
because i had to set a good example or something
I think we talked it out on AIM
A mutual friend had brought it up to me
The thing is your friend probably thinks nobody notices
She doesn’t want anyone to notice
As your best friend I think she would want to know
what people are saying about her
or noticing
you also have to be prepared to say that you agree
I’d also say that if you’re trying to get her to get real with you
you have to get real too
it’s only fair
i have actually. working in the food service industry taught me how special everyone thinks they are, which is approximately 5x more special than i expected them to think they were, so that was interesting.
hurts so much, i dont know what would help, i asked you about this hurt three months ago when it had been a year ago and now it’s been a year and three months. what do i do with this person i love as mine who loves me as a person, but not hers?

oh darling darling, i’m so sorry i didn’t reply three months ago. you have to tell her. even flat out rejection is easier to live with than this. did you ever promise yourself you’d be brave if you had the chance? have you ever saved a turtle from the middle of the road? i grew up in the country and you’d be surprised how many times you see a turtle in the road. so when i got my license, i always stopped to help the turtles get to the other side of the highway because i wanted to be the kind of person would would save things if i could and turtles in the middle of the road felt especially special to save. anyway, if you ever wanted to be the kind of person who’d be brave when she had the chance, this is your turtle.
i don’t know how to reconcile all the people i have been
i write everything down and one day i’ll put it together into a book and see if it reads like a short story book or like a novel
maybe if i hadn’t written it all down, nobody would know
about all the other things i used to be
i have a tendency to switch lives
i don’t evolve, i change
nobody has ever expected anything from me
from about the age of 15 on
i didn’t have guidance in a general ‘how to live’ way
so i sort of floated around
lived like people i read about in books
or like this or that best friend or partner told me to
in a way creating autostraddle was locking myself in to one idea of who i am or who i could be
i think now though that i’m just older.
autowin was my youth where i was figuring things out
now i’m a grown-up
reader, i turn 30 in five weeks and i don’t know how this happened
and possibly being an inexperienced 20-something-year-old is a common thing for lesbians.
