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

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Any chance you can interview Brandi Carlile? Or Rose and/or Natalie from The Real L Word. Their relationship was so dysfunctional but I they were still my favourite. I’d love to know what they’re up to now!

love the brandi carlile idea. keep sending in ideas!
RE: rose & natalie. don’t cry but rose confirmed they broke up for good on her fb page a few weeks ago. i believe rose is doing a lot of club appearances with whitney these days and they’ll be seen a bit on the real l word season 2 since they hang with whitney, though not full cast members like last time.

i think i just need someone to tell me that it’s ok that i didn’t realize i was gay until age 20. it kind of makes me feel crazy…

when i was 20, i lived in a 2BR apartment in a condo complex in ypsilanti, michigan, called “The Hunt Club.” It had a small workout room and I was the only one who ever used it but I liked it.

I lived with my boyfriend chris and i had a puppy named Oscar. He was really cute. Christopher and I watched the daily show at 11pm and then david letterman at 11:30 pm and then we went to bed in our room. Sometimes we would do a crossword puzzle before bed (he liked easier ones, i liked harder ones, but i let him pick everything). We always went to bed together at the same time. In the morning Oscar would start barking so Chris would wake up to let Oscar out to pee or whatever (when we went to the woman’s house to see oscar, which he said was “just to see the puppies” and then he wanted to buy it – and by that i mean he wanted me to buy oscar for him – i had cried and said ‘we can’t do this, it’s like we’re having a baby, i’m not ready’ and he said it was ok, he would take care of it, i wouldn’t have to housetrain him or anything b/c i knew nothing about animals) and then we usually both had class and I would drive my SUV to class and park in the parking structure at the university of michigan and afterwards go to the gym or to my waitressing job at the macaroni grill where chris also worked. at night i made dinner. chris didn’t like pasta 'cause we had it at work. he liked one meat item and at least one side. usually i made two side dishes just to be safe. when i had night class chris would be really hungry/cranky when i got home so i would try to prep a thing before class so that i could cook it really fast when I got home. at night if he wanted ice cream i would scoop it out into a bowl for him.

we had wall-to-wall cream colored carpeting. every morning i had an egg beater omlette with low-fat cheddar cheese and one piece of whole wheat toast and i knew the calorie count of that at the time. and then i would feed his frogs and his mice and i would play with oscar, who i loved. I loved Oscar and i still do, if he still exists somewhere. Then i would get in my SUV and drive to class.

Sometimes my best friend Natalie would drive over from U of M campus which was like 20 minutes away just to walk Oscar with me and talk to me. But I never had anything to talk about. I would sometimes stand in the middle of my room with a vacuum cleaner and think 'i am living a life that people live’ and that thought was the only thought i would have. sometimes chris would say, 'i think you love that dog more than you love me’ and i would laugh (it wasn’t a real laugh, but it was a laugh i had rehearsed and perfected) but i knew it was true.

I was 23 the first time I had sex with a girl. her boyfriend was there, too. i didn’t start dating girls seriously 'til i was maybe going on 25? i was 26 when i had my first for-real committed actual girlfriend.

all i’m saying is, don’t feel crazy. everything’s gonna be ok

im going through a slut phase (having just broken up with my girlfriend of 2 years). i love her too much and am thinking lots of meaningless orgasms with people i dont care about might help crush my love for her. PROBLEM IS, i love cuddling naked after s

sex MORE THAN ANYTHING. seriously. like sleeping and cuddling and ahhhhh. but is it like, totally not kosher to want to snuggle a one night stand all night after solidly fucking her? should i sleep over but keep to myself? should i just LEAVE? :l



let’s just say, hypothetically, that i went home with a hot ladyperson and there was a situation that could be described as ‘solidly fucking.’ if there wasn’t cuddling afterward, i would likely cry myself to sleep and wish that i’d just stayed home that night instead.

however, it’s worth noting that the likelihood of me going home with someone who was not a cuddler is like 2% or something. that’s one of the first things i determine about a person: cuddle potential.

if you’re a cuddler, you should just fuck other cuddlers. brag about your cuddlefucking skills. it can be your thing. you could be the local cuddlefucker.
