[The Yes on 8 attorneys are] doing the same thing they did during the trial, which was to hold forth like a revival tent preacher on how procreation is the building block of the red-blooded American marriage and how changing the definition of the word is the last crumbling social building block that will allow our culture to dissolve entirely and give the world over to Zool and her army of giant killer marshmallow men, as detailed in the 1984 documentary Ghostbusters.

i have a girlfriend for the first time and i like her so much and she makes me feel huge, amazing emotions but i am already worrying about when this ends. i will be obliterated. i’m afraid this was a bad idea. is everything right now worth the pain ahead?

SIGH.
damn.
yeah i think so. fuck i don’t know. maybe. i think you’ll find out when you get there. it’s like the world’s largest ball of twine. like, you really have to be right in front of it before you’ll know if it’s worth taking a picture, but you’ve got your camera just in case.

Why does one of your interns call themselves “Hot Laura”?

she doesn’t. we call her that.

the thing about intern laura is that everyone thinks she’s hot, because you know, ‘she is.’

we privately referred to laura as “hot laura.” when intern laura become intern laura, we told her that she was going to have to be “intern hot laura.” or rather we labeled her “intern hot laura” in every possible forum. she protested for about a year before she just surrendered to the power of being intern hot laura. i feel like it was alex’s fault somehow.

you know what i changed my mind. i’m starting to feel really uncomfortable with the tone on the CG post threads.

starting now: no talking shit on calendar girls posts. just things you’d say to her face. direct concerns about the project as a whole to robin and i via email. yes — we’ve had...

I might accidentally be leading her on a little? I mean, I do like her and I like to make her feel nice and special, but I’m afraid I’m over-promising and I’ll end up under-delivering and hurting her. Basically I have no idea what I’m doing.

well you’re in luck, because I DO.
you’re leading someone on and you know it!
let me get self-righteous for a second and tell you what to do. i’m older now.

we all make promises we can’t keep
but generally we do so because we believe,
however foolishly,
at the time,
that we can indeed keep said promises.
that happens.
but THIS doesn’t have to happen.
if you’re writing me, then you know what you’re doing and therefore you can stop it! mhm. stop it.
saying what she wants to hear might feel best in the short term
but the long term could be a bit catastrophic.

just be honest. if she doesn’t like it because it’s not what she wants,
then she doesn’t want you. she doesn’t want what you CAN give her, only what she imagines you might give her.

so stop it! stop it right now.

that’s the thing maybe: you are only you – everything you have to give, every promise you could ever fulfill. and anyone who lies naked with you or tells you she likes you while looking at your eyes deserves to know exactly who you are, not who you think you could be. unless she makes you who you think you could be. in which case, that’s a whole different question.
