Björk: “I’ve looked in my [diaries] and I only get angry once every seven years [so] you’re safe tonight.”

After berating me for the past two days, calling me all kinds of lazy and unstable (which, …fair enough) my mom just pulled me aside and said, I hope you realize that I’m incredibly proud of you. It kills me to think of how strong you are, how willing to go off and try things despite the fact that you were raised the way I raised you, in the houses and families we fell...

I have now seen sucrose beaches and water a very bright blue. I have seen an all-red leisure suit with flared lapels. I have smelled suntan lotion spread over 2,100 pounds of hot flesh. I have been addressed as “Man” in three different nations. I have seen 500 upscale Americans dance the Electric Slide. I have seen sunsets that looked computer-enhanced. I have...
When I made it all the way down the aisle to my row, there was a woman in a bright pink sweatsuit with a small baby sleeping in her arms sitting in the seat my boarding pass said was mine. I didn’t say a word and sat down next to her. Then to my left sat a bald man in a bright yellow —the kind of yellow they make toddlers wear on fieldtrips so that they won’t get lost—...
So this morning I was feeling restless. I decided to walk until I figured out what I wanted to do with my day. I walked and walked. I met a friend for ice cream in Central Park. I met another friend for an hour long walk inside the MoMA. I walked some more to get to a subway station and head back up to Columbia. All in all, according to Google, I walked around 7 miles, not counting the park...

Every time I decide “I’m going to paint my nails!” is like every time I decide “I’m going to cut my bangs!” in that I instantly regret it after I’ve started and I make myself ABSOLUTELY PROMISE never to waste my time on something so stupid and awkward ever again.
This is just to say: I’ve painted my nails for the first time in months, and I did the...
OMG maybe I should ask people to ask me about their signs/charts
I’m good at reading birth charts …
and also relationships/composite charts but I don’t think I’m down with the math for those …
Maybe i’ll finally launch a lil astrology blog as a not-so-joke this summer
i have all these lists of information and comments on different kinds of signs and I’m sure people would read it because I’ve read some god-awful astrology blogs in my life.
Wow. This fall marks the fifth year of my life as a person-who-knows-too-much-about-astrology-and-actually-believes-in-it.

There’s this line in this one Daniel Johnston song (Living Life) that actually made it (as a cover) onto the Before Sunset soundtrack and whenever I hear it, it sounds like part of the lyrics are saying that being alive is about “learning to cope with the emotionless mediocrisy of everyday living” and I hope to God that he made up such a genius word as “mediocrisy”...
Currently all I listen to is CocoRosie, Camera Obscura and Chairlift so
this one is for you, letter C!!!!
Help.
I started watching a movie b/c it was all like ~~set in NYC in the 2000s~~ but then it’s about all these Upper East Side people in their 30s and THERE IS LITERALLY A SCENE WHERE THEIR CAB BREAKS SO THEY HAVE TO GET ON THE SUBWAY AND OF COURSE THEY GET MUGGED ON THE SUBWAY
and they were like, this is why we don’t take the subway! It’s dangerous! And gross!
LITERALLY...

I had some fucked up dreams last night, so here...
Last night I had a ghost dream. Ghost dreams are dreams where I have a clear sense of who I am in my head versus who I am in my surroundings, and they are the dreams where I can see my body and other bodies interact. Not all of my dreams are like that. In most of my dreams, I am a spectator. Most dreams are like watching TV or playing an NES game. Places change. I watch events. I have no sense of...

I use, despite the trouble of it, abstract descriptions like “that friend whose parachute got tangled up with another parachute the time he jumped.”
“You get the chance to try. Take it seriously.”

Remember that time I didn’t know how big my ottoman was so I said, “it’s basically identical to the ones all the women are sitting on in the Pussy Be Yankin’ video”?
Yeah. Neither do I.

“Ezekiel 1:27-28
And upward from what had the appearance of his loins I saw as it were gleaming bronze, like the appearance of fire enclosed round about; and downward from what had the appearance of his loins I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him. Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the...
Last night I had a dream that some girl who reminded me of some other girl from high school read my diary and was like “lol you hate me b/c I remind you of someone from high school” and I was like “yeah omg you read my diary tho??” and she was like “yeah it was out in the lounge, dude,” and I was like, “thanks for being so cool about this whole...

So, ask me questions!
Stuff I’ve thought about in the past few days:
opening up a day-care center in a small town somewhere near the south and near the Atlantic coastline
opening up a bookstore/bodega in Hialeah and doing a lot of community programs like youth poetry slams and stuff
becoming a pre-school teacher
working on a shipping boat
there are options in life and it really doesn’t take much to...

Screaming is not a tradition.
