Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Any chance of the ‘apocalypse’ (2012) calendar girls making an appearance on Autostraddle soon? Will there be a 2012 calendar? Which of the two previous questions was the sillier question?

yes! this saturday or sunday will be our first calendar girl post, we’ll do a jan/feb combo, and then there will be one post a month for the rest of the year, like we did last year.

apparently it is going to be super fancy and special this year and require multiple ‘elements’ which are currently being put together by alex vega and robin roemer and kelly griggs and sara medd and etc.

make a mixtape that will help me get motivated to move past an eight year friendship that was honestly really good even though it was stupidly intense and full of mistakes on both our parts and might not be over even though really it should be. please?

Hi. I’m the one that asked about the mix tape. How about a mix of bright and dark?

Okay I made this for you. There’s a light side and a darker one.

I like creating mix tapes that tell a story. this particular one has been inspired by a recent encounter with a musician that I’m a huge fan of.

SIDE A: I saw you standing on the forecourt

1. Boys Wanna Be Her – Peaches
2. Phenomena – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3. Drumming Song – Florence + The Machine
4. Howlin’ For You – The Black Keys
5. Walking On A Dream – Empire Of The Sun

SIDE B: I said hello and you stomped on my heart

1. You Probably Couldn’t See For The Lights But You Were Staring Straight At Me – The Arctic Monkeys
2. I Cut Like A Buffalo – The Dead Weather
3. Supermassive Black Hole – Muse
4. Bulletproof – La Roux
5. Age of Adz – Sufjan Stevens

(nb: the lack of diversity is intentional, relevant to the story.)

Do American Apparel hoodies shrink at all? I want one, but when I tried it on the sleeves were super long. I feel like you would have the answer to this.

I’ve found American Apparel hoodies to stay pretty true to size… although, confession time: I hardly wash them or I try to keep that to a minimum (kind of like jeans.)

If your sleeves are long now they will probably be long later.

I just got offered an intern position at Harvard in neuroimaging this summer. But it’s RIGHT when I was planning on going to Europe with my friends before life starts. We’ve been planning this trip forever, but it’s Harvard, you know? I’m so conflicted.

listen if i were you, i would go to europe. keep in mind that i’m $15K in credit card debt, dropped my retainer behind my bed in 2000 and never got it back and now my teeth are crooked, talk to stuffed animals, have never been “on salary” anywhere, had pasta for both lunch and dinner, usually wear sweatpants, don’t bother with mixers, definitely don’t talk to my mom enough and have dedicated my whole life to making this website with my friends before life starts because I’d been planning it forever, even though practically it’s totally the stupidest thing a person could ever choose to do.

also i don’t like science, and that sounds like brain surgery, which means you are probably a genius. so i don’t know. i feel like maybe if i knew more about neuroimaging, i could bear the responsibility of making this choice for you that only you can make.
