Blogterview Project: My Power Colour Is Purple | ... →
I was interviewed for the Blogterview Project, which is “an attempt at knowing and understanding Bloggers. Who they are, why they blog, what they blog about. The Blog has become the every-man’s printing press, anyone with a computer can post whatever they feel like for the public to see. The problem is, there are so many Bloggers that most blogs just fall into complete obscurity. This...

Love-pretending
So, the other day, a girl I really like told me some guy broke up with her because he said their love felt like they were “pretending”. And I said, “Of course it does! All love is pretending!” And she said, “Exactly! I KNOW!”
You think it’s real to write love notes and leave them in your girlfriends’ pockets so she can find them when she searches...

Ugghhh
Lordy. I’ve been trying to find a new theme for my Tumblr for the last hour. I want it to have tags visible, description visible, and to be very clean and simple. Who knew this was so hard? I don’t like what it is right now, but at least it fits my criteria. Wish I knew more about code like things. And stuff.
Oh yeah. And then my internet stopped working like fucking usual, so I wrote...

Bricolage
I am the kind of person who has a lot of interests. And they’re interests in the way that I become very interested in something for awhile, and then I move on to something else. A lot of the time, these interests come from people I know. I’ve always become interested in the things people I want to know better are interested in. So a lot of things I like, actually come from my brother....

For the New York broken hearted, of which there...
We tell it to anyone who will listen. We need a second opinion. We need a fresh pair of eyes. We need to do this so we can try to make sense of it. Because when we tell it to ourselves, we can’t. We try to keep it inside, believing our business is our business and our personal baggage is ours to carry, and our drama isn’t for everyone to see. But then someone asks, “How are...

Emotional Pornography
emotionalpornography:
Meaghan came up with the term. One night when I was in Los Angeles, sitting in a small room surrounded by Polaroids of people I mostly didn’t know, and she was in New York, up much too late, and we were talking about our writing. It’s always so sad, but also so hot. “It’s emo porn!” she said. And I typed “hahahahahaha” because I was...
