I don’t want to put cheap stuff in the dryer because then it pills.
totes m’goats! another reason: i don’t want to put things in the dryer because they might shrink & then i would be sad. post-clothing shrinkage depressive disorder is real, y’all.

I’m thinking about performing relationships online: in FB, Tumblr, on Twitter: how do we acknowledge friends? Boyfriends/girlfriends/sex partners/whatever? What violates this? There was a...

When I was 22 years old, I was very, very sick.
My insurance company, the one my father had worked for for 20+ years, mind you, refused to cover my intensive inpatient treatment for anorexia nervosa b/c they felt, after I had eaten my breakfasts for 5 days in a row, that I was cured. Never mind that my heart rate was 43bpm, or that my mind was completely...

When I was younger, I always wanted dimples. I thought it was the height of something…
I never realized that I had them.
For me, it was because my mother had them and because she was so beautiful and everyone always talked about how beautiful and elegant she was and I thought if I had them, I’d be beautiful and elegant too and I wanted to have something in common...
