dear men
it’s 2010. bragging about how you don’t have a cell phone is just idiocy. it’s not cute in that “i live in a house with 16 other people in a co-op and will shoplift chocolates from whole foods for you” crimethinc/punk rock vegan kind of hot because even those dudes have flip phones now.
it’s just fucking irritating. besides, people who don’t have cell...
“I was talking with a friend last night about the difficulty I sometimes have...”
– Tremblings
I wanted to reblog this whole thing, but now Tumblr won’t let me because it underestimates your ability/desire to read long passages.
But all of it is worth it, trust me.
coming and crying →
Only three days left to pre-order your copy of coming and crying! Tyler’s in it! Tess is in it! ‘Tao Lin’ is in it! Melissa and Meaghan are in it!
And yes, I will be in it, too.
True story: the week my c & c interview was published, I went to buy a burrito in town and the girl working behind the counter straight up recognized me! It was odd, but very cool.
I love you, Twisty →
For some reason, this didn’t reblog with my comments. Anyway, I can’t stand Twisty. The first time I read her, I felt like I had done something so horrifically wrong. I no longer feel this way, but it’s cool seeing others who feel the same.
This shit reminds me of a co-worker I had years ago (who was otherwise great to me) express shock that I was a feminist because I wore...

I love Kelly Cutrone and her new Bravo show. I’m not ashamed to say I’ve been attempting to OhioLink her book for like a month and it’s still not available. Gonna just buy it soon.

excited. the houses here are old and have ‘character.’ you know i’m a sucker for that type of shit. there aren’t too many studios or one bedrooms off campus, and b/c i hate people, that’s what i’m gunning for. can’t wait!
i am sort of… SORT OF.. considering staying here for the summer. i’m not sure what i’m going to do, i need to take...

Rachelle Waterman still keeps a Livejournal. Of course she does, once you’re here, you never leave.
Any and all Tumblr Drama 2010 = Any and all...
i remember when that girl killed her mother and her last entry was something like “ok be back soon” and the comment thread balloned with awfulness. or the guy who pretended he died in 9/11. flashman! that shit was intense.

I ain’t afraid of no cliches, so yeah, the more things change… you can finish that one.

“Suddenly I was in this world where I was surrounded by these incredibly polished...”
– The Rumpus Interview With Dan Chaon - The Rumpus.net
my creative writing professor this year. i had no idea he was this much of a literary celeb.
the very measured but positive feedback i’ve gotten from him so far on my writing has been the only thing keeping me from losing it entirely.
well...

I don’t think any of this stuff makes people “nicer.” It just makes people more cautious about what they post (and that depends on how frail your Internet self esteem is) and makes the gossip/shit talking go elsewhere. But I’ve also...

embedded
my new attitude about being an Old at college is that i’m like a journalist embedded in a war zone. instead of air strikes, i have to watch out for puke in the shower on sunday mornings.

mommyblogs
I always end up on random blogspot blogs, of people who are just going about their lives and talking about them and not the fuckery that is Tumblr. And so, I end up on mommyblogs. Lots of cute photos of cute kids and cute recipes and cute houses. They make me yearn for something I’m not even sure I want. But do I not want it because I don’t think I’ll ever have it? Maaaybe.
Calm down, assholes.

i'm an entertainer
Group class presentation today. I can’t stand presenting anything without looking semi-cute, so I wore cute shoes and a dress for the first time in forever. Of course, it rained as I walked to class. I’m always 3 minutes late and so is another guy who lives in my dorm. He always runs in, but I’m always just a minute behind. Why is he running?
As usual, I can’t be serious...
BravoFan is now Bravo Gossip →
It’s my baby. I couldn’t kill her. And we’re on Tumblr now. because Wordpress makes me want to kill myself, even though honestly, I’ll likely have to move there eventually (SIGH.)
And it’s all mine so I can have SIDEBAR WIDGETS and not the sidebar-less design they made me have last time.
Also, now that I’ve set up a Tumblr, put up a few Google Ads (sorry guyz,...

here, since none of you will do it, i’ll help it along:
1. people who are too lazy to download the song and always put up some cheesy youtube fan video instead of just getting the actual song
2. undergrads over the age of 25 and live in a dorm
3. personal bloggers who used to talk a lot about guys they boned but now only do it if they are getting published or in the vaguest of terms

couple of things i've thought about today
words of wisdom:
mrpenguino:
if a fat person is kicked off the plane, skinnies should walk off with them. also, babies & tall people. fuck all of you if you don’t. especially babies WTF BABIES YOU ARE A BABY WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE.
the first sentence is always the hardest.
be diligent, write fast, don’t be precious about your work, submit, write, submit, write, submit, risk humiliation...
on my b5media layoff
The whole situation with my former place of permalancing, b5, is sad to watch. Many of the people who got laid off this week were people who’d been there for years and while none of us were “A-listers” or “household names” (are there any bloggers that are household names outside of the households of a smattering of people in New York and San Francisco?), we mattered...

The point of 4square isn’t to check into your own house. It’s to check in when you are socializing. Why do people check into their own house? What’s funner is to check into other people’s houses that they’ve added to the database.

We were both let go by our blogging overlords this week.
So… no more bravofan.com. It was totally unexpected, and I wasn’t even given the opportunity to tell my readers that I would no longer be writing there.

my viewing of intervention (while i was “writing”) was interrupted by a fellow who wanted to practice his piano theory. i came down here to escape the non-stop guitar jamming of the dude across the hall from me.
the piano is really nice, though. the guitar? makes me want to punch the kid in the mouth.
i read too much ONTD
i can’t say a serious word without putting tildes around it and laughing uncontrollably.
can't help
but think about what kevin smith/southwest gate would be like if it were a fat female celebrity. like say, kirstie alley. not that she wold ever fly SW, she could buy and sell all of southwest”s employees and planes several times, but i’d think the reaction would be way different.
valentine's day 2010
woke up at noon (surprise..not.)
took extremely long shower
finished the aeneid and had a very hard time following it at the end. i wanted it to say: AND THEN THERE WAS FIGHTING. AND THEN THERE WAS MORE FIGHTING. AND THEN JUNO FUCKED SOME MORE THINGS UP. AND THEN AEANES CRIED AGAIN BECAUSE HE IS A PANSY WHO HAS NO FREE WILL. HERE, HAVE SOME MORE IMAGERY ABOUT YOUNG BOYS AND BEES.
