18 years ago, I put on a pair of JNCO jeans and a Smashing Pumpkins t-shirt and went to a punk show at my (rural CT) town’s local teen center. There I saw a boy, told him I was going to flirt with him and did for the rest of the night... and then, on and off (and mostly online) for the next decade or so before we… Read more

I want to snark and make some silly comment about how I’m renouncing my internet presence for a more serious life of scholarly contemplation and that I’m actually a 75-year-old married housewife, etc... Read more

Much respect!

Oh god I’m not sure. Disgusting things though. Like “When did you stop looking at me like it hurt to look away?”. Pulled that one out of my butthole for the same effect.

I printed out this picture and taped it to my fridge. It added some levity to the morning asshole cat routine. Plus, my printer always thinks it’s starving too, and beeps about it incessantly. So I was like “Printer, I need you to use your last remaining bit of ink to print out this very important document. Just…

I 100% had that Josh Hartnett poster seen in the main image of this post on my wall in high school/college. It’s a classic Read more

Who didn’t want this room

When we graduated high school my mom took my twin sister and I to Paris and the Hague. So my college dorm room was gonna be artsy and international, dammit:
