what's your "type" in girls?
Butchy/androgynous/boyish - and chivalrous/gentlemanly. Hella smart, hella funny (especially in kind of a snarky, sarcastic, yet positive way). Brave, strong, will challenge me mentally. Talented, especially at writing or drama. She probably likes Tegan & Sara & also probably has an extensive collection of something nerdy & boyish like X-Men comics or Digimon action figures, & gets...

childish love
it seems like forever ago
we took that walk out in the snow
your hand reached for my hand
as if it wasn’t planned
that’s when i knew i was smitten
with your mitten in my mitten
if we were more mature, maybe we’d wear gloves
but i love my childish love
i thought that i was so grown up
but then you shook me when you showed up
i’ll always be a kid at the core, you...

why do you think people have so many questions for...
I think, when you make art about your personal life, you turn your stories & history into a kind of mythology that becomes interesting to anyone who likes your art. That’s where tabloid culture comes from.

What physical characteristics do you like in...
I honestly cannot answer this question properly, because every person I’ve ever liked has been radically different, physically. It is almost all about the personality for me - if we click, I find them hot, period.
That said, putting personality aside, I like big soft pink lips, big sweet expressive eyes, long dark eyelashes, well-defined shoulderblades, soft touchable hair (especially if...

Travis: This is a better poem than you could ever write. Ray: Oh yeah? Well try this one on for size: roses are red, violets are blue, why don’t you just shut it?! Travis: That doesn’t even rhyme! Ray: It doesn’t have to - it’s free verse! Surprised you didn’t know that…

are your parents aware of your past girlfriends,...
Yes, they are aware of my bisexuality, & they have been entirely accepting of me in every way. I have been very, very lucky.
I think they secretly actually prefer me to date girls than guys, because there’s no risk of pregnancy, & there seems to be a lower risk of heartbreak. :P

Aww, thanks, that’s cute. I wrote that song about my very first date ever ever, so it definitely brings me back to a place of optimistic butterfly-winged romance. <3

What if Tegan and Sara were triplets?
Oh, they are, I’m the third one. You caught me. I’ve been trying to hide my true identity all these years but I guess it’s not such a secret anymore…
Actually, never mind, I just realized if I was their triplet, I wouldn’t be able to make out with Sara on top of a grand piano as per my recurring fantasies. Which would be tragic.

haha oh my god that’s so cute.
My yearly Heliconian show is always around my birthday too, since it’s supposed to be essentially a birthday party.
Aside from the occasional crass comment (e.g. “Nice tits,” “S my D,” etc.), I haven’t had too many creepy fans. I once had a friend who was obsessed-beyond-obsessed with me - said she was in love with me,...

haha I’m wondering what you mean by “dress plain.” (Today I’m wearing a black T-shirt with black pants & feel incredibly boring & lazy.) But that’s a compliment, I guess, so thanks!
People/archetypes who influence my style: Gala Darling, Tricia Royal, SuicideGirls, 50s housewives, 80s teen queens, British schoolboys…

Have you ever had multiple crushes at one moment...
Of course! Who hasn’t?!
The best was last year when I liked a straight boy & a straight girl at the same time. They were completely different in every way & it was such an interesting experience.
Right now I’m not seriously interested in anyone… I think I’m gonna take a break from the whole romance thing for a while. It’s soooo emotionally draining. I need a...

which one your exes do you miss the most?
On average, I probably miss C the most, because she was really nice to me while we were together & did the least backstabbing & lying of any of them. (See my new song “The Only One” for further praises of the lovely C.) Also that was my longest relationship (almost a year & a half) so we were really, really, really close & bonded compared to the others, which each...

aww, that’s cute. Yeah, I’ve been working on a song, but I’m still recovering from my wisdom tooth surgery so my face is too horrific to appear in a video right now. When the swelling goes down & I can sing without pain, I’ll video it! <3

How do you feel about AutoTune?
I think pitch is the most basic part of singing, so if you can’t get that down, you probably shouldn’t be singing professionally. That said, it sounds pretty cool when Kanye West uses it.

What do you want to name your children?
Assuming I even have any children!
I’ve been obsessed with the name Sophie for a looooong long time. I have other fleeting name obsessions but that one has stuck.
Also, I just remembered that when I was little, I used to write stories about this fictional girl named Tyndian & I always thought that was kind of a cool, interesting name.
For boys I like Jake & Fletcher & Crush...

“I’m a real good sex person. I do it all the different ways.”

Travis: It’s kinda cool, actually, having a doppelganger. Ray: A what-a-ganga? Robbie: Your evil twin. Ray: Oh! And here I was, thinking it’d be something weird! Travis: That means a lot, coming from a guy wearing a retainer around his neck. Ray: Some might say it’s romantic…

post-oral-surgery poem
my face is all swollen;
i look like a gopher.
i don’t want my friends to see me

my date’s in four days,
my photoshoot’s in five;
i’m hoping by then
i’ll look a little more alive.
been watching lots of movies
& eating soft foods
& exchanging sweet messages
with my sweet improv dudes.

Perfect idea of a date?
I am really into romantic confessions… I have kind of a fascination. One of the best dates I’ve ever been on began with a boy randomly showing up at my door & confessing his adoration for me.. which pretty much knocked me off my feet. So I guess my perfect date would start with something of that nature, something surprising & delicious & romantic in a perfectly legendary...

What would you do if your bf/gf cheated on you?
Dump them immediately, cry for three hours, write several hell-hath-no-fury-like-a-woman-scorned Alanis-Morissette-esque songs, do some EFT, sleep for a long long time, rant at my friends, write endlessly in my journal, & get over it in due time.

things i love thursday
some things i’ve been diggin’ on over the past week:

just a thought
it bothers me when bisexual/pansexual/omnisexual people employ that incredibly tired cliché that goes something like, “i fall in love with people, not body parts.” or “i’m interested in who someone is, not what they are or what their anatomy is.”
because frankly - straight girls don’t fall in love with penises. lesbians aren’t chasing after vulvas. (for...
