While Watching the Sex Scene in Black Swan
Lily: Add this to the list of reasons not to do drugs!
Me: You don't want to do drugs because you're worried you'll accidentally have lesbian sex with your best friend at your mom's house?
Lily: Loudly!

Beautiful, sobbing high-geared fucking and then to lie silently like deer tracks in the freshly-fallen snow beside the one you love. That’s all.

Anonymous asked: Have you heard that Lana Del Rey song Video Games? For some reason it reminds me of you and I think you'd really like it.
Anonymous asked: Your blog is one of my favorites. It is a sane place for me. Mostly I follow fan bloggers for my favorite television shows, but personal blogs are by far my favorite and yours is at the top of my list of greatest blogs I follow. Now for a question.. I haven't been reading a lot lately and I would like to change that. What books would you suggest?

Twist and Shout
Saturdays are my Mondays, which means I spend the night alone, drinking white wine, dancing to that Pixies song in stockings and a cardigan, sneaking out to dump my trash in my neighbor’s garbage can because I’m never home (sober) on garbage nights and I don’t (think I) have garbage cans of my own.
They turned on my radiator today. I noticed the smell before I noticed the warmth...

Caroline: What are you doing tonight?

Quarter Life Or Something Like It
I turned 25 tonight on the subway, as the D train sailed over the Manhattan bridge. In my arms: a bag of laundry and a bouquet of daisies, a gift to myself.

Sometimes, when I am just a little sad or lonely, I like to imagine myself as a post-Frank Navasky breakup Kathleen Kelley, arranging...
