See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

I realized today that a lot of fantastic albums have names that start with the letter S. The Suburbs, So Jealous, Silent Alarm, Sainthood, Shake The Sheets, Set Yourself on Fire, to name a few. Do you have a favorite album letter?

I just scrolled through my ipod and noticed that a lot of great albums begin with ‘A’. e.g.
Absolution - Muse
Adrenalin & Around the Fur - Deftones
Aenima - Tool
Almost Famous soundtrack
Animosity - Sevendust
Alright, Still - Lily Allen
Amanda Palmer plays Radiohead on her magical ukelele
American Idiot - Green Day
American Idiot the Musical - Cast Recording
American Thighs - Veruca Salt
aMOTION - A Perfect Circle
Appetite for Destruction - Guns N Roses
As Day Follows Night - Sarah Blasko

Not to mention 'Alligator’, the album on which Tegan & Sara’s Alligator song is remixed 23 times.

when you lived in nyc, did you go out a lot (e.g. bars, clubs, parties)?

sometimes i did and sometimes i didn’t
probably moreso when i was younger
i mean looking back on it i feel like i went out a lot
but less so after starting autostraddle
i keep trying to figure out what this question is really about
because i feel like in and of itself it’s not a full question
you should just ask me whatever it is or whatever

This girl. Sometimes she’s so annoying and embarrassing and unattractive and sometimes she’s so cute and nice and I wanna be her girlfriend forever. Why is it so confusing? Does that mean I don’t really like her?

imagine that you have a girlfriend

and imagine yourself talking about her to someone else and saying “she’s so annoying and embarrassing and unattractive.”

how does that feel?

My ‘straight’ best friend said, “ dont be creeped out but ive had dreams of you and I hooking up” is it normal for straight girls have that happen? or would you not know because your not straight.

hm, i don’t know because yes, you are right, there was a time when i would have told you “ha yeah straight girls totally do that, it happens to me all the time!” and LOOK HOW THAT TURNED OUT. so i have no idea but this seems important, like the answer to this question could help a lot of people. i’ve thought deeply about it and decided i have no straight friends i can ask who won’t think i’m hitting on them. :( someone else needs to volunteer

laneia, you love kittens, right? how do you deal with the hairs though? do you wear lenses? i fell like this is a deal breaker re cats b/c i always seem to have hairs in my eyes

i do love kittens, it’s true. i do not have lenses, but i am pretty much allergic to all the things. i deal with the hairs by not currently owning a cat. this cuts down on the hairs substantially. additionally, my activity partner doesn’t currently own a cat, further decreasing the possibility of coming into contact with cat hairs.
she does, however, own a puppy dog. and this puppy dog has hairs. and so help me, if she or this dog were any less adorable, those hairs would be a deal-breaker.
so i feel you, and i’m sorry about your eyes. is claritin a thing for that?
