Song o Myself

"To touch my person to some one else's is about as much as I can

stand."

Walt Whitman

My life

is unbelievable right now. It's not terrific. And it ain't horrible. It's just so goddamn unbelievable, I just gotta kick up my boots and praise the everything-coming-together fairy.

got to get you into my life

I am in a decidedly good mood right now. For no particular reason.

Had a dream I couldn't find the way out of my room.

I know someone who can hack my computer

"It isn't that every generation thinks it's invented sex so much as a better way of doing it — like you can remove the messiness from human intimacy."

-An article on why the idea of Friends with Benefits is kind of Hello. Finally. Thank you. I refuse to believe that physicality can ever truly be devoid of human connection.. Sure, there can be less emotionally stimulating physical interactions, but to dismiss that any form of human intimacy is deplete of emotion or can ever be that tidy--for any gender--is a little old. These fresh ideas of no strings attached etc etc are ways of avoiding the inevi

How come nobody has done a vibrator montage to The Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations" yet? Or has it been done? I think it makes for good television.

"The pupils of our eyes dilate and grow larger when we see someone we're attracted to.

Larger and dilated pupils are seen as more attractive than smaller and contracted pupils."

I recently heard on a teen show that big dilated pupils means you're in love. I thought that this was thirteen-year-old logic, but I guess it's true. However-- it's not a reliable meter. Drugs, darkness, alcohol, fear, and surprise also dilate pupils. Also, apparently anything does. i just went to the bathroom and had huge pupils and I just woke up. Not that I'm not in love with the toilet, but I think this concept is hilarious. No, online dating still wins.

Favorite Quote

Last night I was at a bar and the discussion was about condoms for a moment when we noticed a bowl of them on the bar for free. The bartender, a salt-n-peppered seasoned type of burly man said one of the best one-liners. "My personality is my condom". Thank you.

God Only Knows

I realize in order to kiss someone you kind of have to ignore a lot of things. Namely, where their mouth has been. You have to suspend your knowledge and remain ignorant lest you may think of their tongue on an unattractive person's tongue, someone's genitals, on that dropped toothbrush, or (god willing) someone's ass. I haven't kissed anyone in a really long time, but after watching it a lot on TV today, I realized that you kind of just gotta fake it or you'll never wanna smooch again. Wisdom.

I don't like the verb "booked" used to refer to securing an airline ticket. It makes me feel odd.

I went to Spain. I went to Minnesota. I went to Brooklyn. I stayed in Brooklyn. I am now sitting in my new room in Brooklyn. I still don't know what to "do" in life, but I realize you need to find satisfaction in small things and just pay the rent. Hugs, hot cocoa, buying gingerbread men, swiffering, and smiling at friends belong in this "satisfaction" category. I'm trying to be friendly and show appreciation for people I once overlooked. So many people touch your life and go unnoticed. Cheers to you. Clink.

I like pleasure spiked with pain and music is my aeroplane.

Terri and I had a crush on Anthony Kiedis (long haired) as small girls.

Am I a 20-?-yr-old cliche for being unemployed and alone and listening to The Smiths late at night? Whatever. Probably.

Reality Smells Like

My sister & I rented a gorgeous apartment today that a gorgeous man lived in who liked kayaking and fire pits and other fun stuff. We each would have had our own room. The rent was very cheap for the island. Then we realized we really couldn't even afford that and still save for fall rent.

So we have to tell him we can't take it tomorrow. I want to throw up I feel so bad.

Fun Level of Making the Right Adult Decision: -5

I feel completely like a baby trailing its diaper behind it going ga-ga on the floor for my new camera. I'm that stupid and I'm that eager.

hmm

I feel like dolphins are bad ass muthafuckers. Just look at them. It just occurred to me how much star power they have.

-Katie asking whether this new font works on her new computer as compared to the old, but it applies to all life right now. Or, anybody right now.

I am majoring in sad dork lately now that I'm done with the English.

Factoid

Slut is an anagram for lust.

Conclusion:

You can call a girl a slut, but you are really just lustin'. Oh shoot.

something i learned recently

"This he understood: that association renders men stronger and brings out each person's best gifts, and gives a joy which is rarely to be had by keeping to oneself, the joy of realizing how many honest decent capable people there are for whom it is worth giving one's best (while living just for oneself very often the opposite happens, of seeing people's other side, the side which makes one keep one's hand always on the hilt of one's sword)."

- Italo Calvino

So glad I have teachers looking up the pH level of sperm on their own time, inspired by my work.
