courtesy & respect
There is a fine, fine line between inter-gender courtesy and treating a woman like a helpless know-nothing. sometimes i resent having to smile and say thank you instead of, “if you had given me 15 seconds, i could have done it myself.”
I like the looks on people’s faces right after they goodbye kiss someone on the sidewalk. When they are walking away, even the douchebags look just like everyone else for a second.
when i am the only person on the whole #11 Lincoln/Sedgwick bus, when i run to catch it in a skirt careful not to slip where it rained while i was sleeping,
i feel very special in those blocks that i am riding alone.
i will say this:
as much as the times that you don’t have a valentine suck ass, the times that you DO have one one are so much more spectacularly delightful than the times without ones are sad.
Born To Die
taking the morning to actually listen to Lana Del Rey’s album in its entirety so that I can deliver an “informed” opinion.
it should be noted that I can tell you nothing so “informed” regarding this season’s GOP candidates. Although, notice how quickly Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin fell off the face of the earth. Is it weird to say I missed Palin’s...
expensive truths
you really will get a better haircut for $80, damnit. WITH multiple look style coaching. it is a crime that no one before took the time to teach me proper finger twisting.
dear election season
two American tragedies I will speak more specifically to in the next 24 hours:
Lana Del Rey
The fact that it is 11:20pm on a Wednesday night and I can’t get a seat at Starbucks, this location (BT-Dubs), is 24 hours.
