“While I can’t have you, I long for you. I am the kind of person who would miss a train or a plane to meet you for coffee. I’d take a taxi across town to see you for ten minutes. I’d wait outside all night if I thought you would open the door in the morning. If you call me and say ‘Will you…’ my answer is ‘Yes’, before your sentence is out. I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you.” 
— Jeanette Winterson, “Desire”

I have just given up on having an alternative lifestyle haircut. I live in the mid-west and no one here will give me one. How does one mourn the death of a great haircut and succumb to generic female-appropriate hair?

YOU DON’T
you go on yelp and look for salons in major cities near you (or hours away from you, whatever) and then you CALL THE SALONS and don’t be afraid to ask if they have a gay man on staff. i know this seems risky, but it’s worked for me in the past. failing this, you cut your hair yourself.
i think riese cuts her own hair.

Do you think it’s possible to be asexual toward one gender? Sometimes I get confused because I think boys are attractive but I’d never want to sleep with one…

boys are attractive!
not all of them, but many of them.

when i was walking to The YMCA today I was thinking about how pretty the trees are in Berkeley now, with the red/yellow autumn leaves (there’s no winter here), and how I miss that about Michigan – the trees in the fall.

Anyhow I don’t want to have sex with any of those trees, is the point.

My best friend/roommate tried to kill herself last night. I’ve talked her down nightly for 2 wks. Got home late from a speaker(too late)called 911. I’m still scared. Can’t eat sleep or write the 50+ pages I need for finals. Tell me something. Distract me.

i’ve tried to reply to this for almost a week and i’m sorry i didn’t sooner. and i’m sorry about your best friend.
i feel like you should bring a professional into this situation. she clearly needs help, and loving her and being her best friend doesn’t necessarily qualify you to provide that level of help, unfortunately. the world would be a lot better if it did.

My 30th birthday is coming up at Christmas. I’ll be spending it either on my dad’s deathbed, or dealing with the aftermath. I’m sad. I’m afraid this is going to permanently ruin my birthday/Christmas for my family. Will it get better?

this year will be total shit, but it will eventually be better.
well, i mean, it will be a thing that you become used to, actually. and somehow, eventually, instead of being the loudest, most persistent drum in the world, it’ll be a distant piano that you occasionally sit closer to, and occasionally stick your head inside.
i’m sorry.
happy birthday.
