i thought ob forgot about me but they didn’t! i just got my cute little packge in the mail. i love getting mail!!
TAMPONS IN THE MAIL = THIS COULD BE YOU
why does the real l word have to exist argggg
i’m going to tattoo this onto my forehead, with all the extra “g"s and everything
I know this is not a question, but I haven’t taken the time yet to thank you for bringing Megan to camp. She drove my van to camp and was so welcoming, loving and wonderful that I have no words. She’s a keeper.
awwww! i told her about this while she was in the shower and she blushed.
i agree, also.
how old were you when you begun doing cocaine? how long were you doing it? have you noticed any after-effect?
i was 21 the first time
in college in michigan
he brought it over
a book, too
also be brought me a book
by steve martin
it felt so good and bright and full of love
it felt so good!
he confessed the depths of his love for me
and we stayed up all night talking
and then in the morning the drugs wore off
he got a nosebleed and had plans with his girlfriend
had to go to work
was bleeding so much
(this wasn’t the first time for him)
and then in the morning the drugs wore off
i felt worse than i’d ever felt, ever
i cried and writhed
i took an entire bottle of elavil
and slept all day
i missed work
i’d never done that before
not ever
coming down felt as terrible
as being up had felt wonderful

then it was the summer of 2005, in new york, when i was 24, i guess, or 23? i was in that neighborhood. and i was hooking up with girls, and getting paid in cash, and it was always warm and krista was gone. i don’t remember how often i did it, really, and this kept going i guess for a year? it never felt again like it’d felt that first time. maybe some weeks it would be every other day, and then it would be a month without – i never chased the dragon again though, like i did that first night, where we snorted line after line after merciless line. i was more measured, i guess.
i don’t know what after-effects i might feel?
honestly i’ve made so many mistakes with this body
it would be hard to know what to blame
for anything that happens next
what do you do if a super cute girl asks you to hook up and you really want to but you are on your period?
i think the thing to do is a) say “aaaah damn it! i’m bleeding :(” – i feel like you could text that but maybe i’m just into oversharing – and then b) depending on her reaction, you could go for “i mean, i don’t mind if you don’t mind…” – i’m texting again – or try out “so you’re good for a raincheck, right?”
maybe? there are smoother people than me. i’m the bleeder! you’re like, barking up the wrong straddler or something. i’d probably just throw down a towel and pretend not to notice and then make her feel like a jerk if she had a negative reaction.
no that’s not true, i’d go w/ option A.
Thank you so much for the viral bear/Lorna post. I was rereading it and it saved me from myself this week. x
i love you! but more importantly, viral bear loves you. he will always. so will i.
I didn’t know you loved tune-yards! Saw her last night in Austin… She. Was. AWESOME.
riese’s gf marni introduced me to tune-yards in like 2009 when i was having the worst year of my life, and it felt like merrill garbus reached into my chest and yanked me up by my lungs and dared me to do something besides cry. i mean, it took a while to accept that dare, but i did it.
i’m so excited you got to see her in austin! I CAN’T WAIT FOR NEXT FRIDAY.
Ahhh I thought I was straight then I had a boy over today and he was quite rough a uh, heavy. Sooo i think I should just meet a nice boi instead.
i’m not sure i follow your logic, but i support you and your dreams
