riese, i’m going to start compiling research/notes on how you’re kinda like Oprah and she is like Jesus and so somehow shit is biblical right now.

what were you doing at age 21? i feel frozen
i was standing in the kitchen – in our condo the kitchen was on the left when you walked in, and it was narrow, and lead to the dining room that faced the back yard. when you were standing in the kitchen in front of the sink, the oven was to your back and to your front were the couches and the television. christopher was asking me why i didn’t drink anymore. oscar was probably barking. the couple we lived with was probably fighting. my car was outside, and the next day i’d drive it to school, and also to work, and then home, where i’d be standing in the kitchen again, maybe with something cooking or warming behind me, looking at the television while chris talked to the dog. that’s what i was doing, i think.
Is it ok for a straight person to run for LGBTQ officer in our Student Union? She really cares and will be very competent at organising events etc, but I’m not sure if her sexuality should be a problem. It’s democratic so hopefully the outcome will be ok.
it would be okay, sure,
but i think an LGBTQ person would be better
Do you have an agent? Have you ever been approached by one? Or a publisher?
yes i have an agent
i have been approached by many agents actually
and a few editors in the past (editors are the representatives of publishers)
also i used to work at a literary agency, so –
i mean if you’re asking me
if i wrote something,
would there be a person
interested in selling that something to a publisher
the answer is yes
the problem is me
i need to write the thing
i need someone to invent more time
and give it to me
a big bucket of time
Riese! Sweatpants always seem to win out over going out at night, but then I regret the decision in the morning! How do I not feel bad the next day/motivate myself to just go out?
i don’t know! i feel that way a lot too, but less and less as time goes on
today i really tried to own it
b/c it was a saturday and marni is out of town
and i had a really fun day, honestly
just me hanging out with me.
i think you have to start liking yourself more
then you can be like “whatever, i spent the night with somebody i like A LOT.”
you know?
Are you going to start recaping True Blood now that Angela Robinson is part of the writing staff?
alas i cannot. i try to write about it few times a season but usually i’m too busy w/real l word recaps. also i like true blood and if i started to recap it i’d probably stop liking it so much.
How do you feel about Angela Robinson joining True Blood’s writing staff?
i feel like i didn’t know about that until this question, but i would say “positive”
is a-camp going to be an annual thing?
twice a year this year, twice a year next year, then maybe who knows after that, maybe we can all get a farm
best team ever
My therapist thinks I like girls because the idea of being with boys/men might be subconsciously intimidating or something. Do you think this could be a thing? It doesn’t sound right.
you know how assholes say lesbians are just unattractive women who “couldn’t get a man”
i feel like what your therapist says is like that, except she’s blaming it on your personality instead of your looks
anyhow
regardless
why are you talking about “why you like girls”
is it ‘cause you want to change it
or something
you don’t need that
what you need
is just to be yourself
and like girls
eat sandwiches
type words on the internet
wash your hair
etc.
go forth and multiply

L’ère Rockab’ by Jean-Baptiste Mondino for Next magazine (Liberation, No. 30, 2011) (via girls-will-be-boys)
i’ve seen these circulate uncredited more times than i can count and was curious if they were portraits or a photoshoot. reblogging for credit.
