The Case for Masturbation →
I think masturbation is a hugely important part of having a healthy sex life. If you’re always relying on someone else to give you orgasms, you’re giving away your sexual autonomy!

It is never, ever, ever okay to tell your girlfriend that you have a problem with her weight.
(FYI, for those who will wonder, this has nothing to do with Damian. He looooves my curves & is quite vocal about it. I’m speaking of unluckier girls who have had to deal with bullshit from their manz.)
You may think “honesty is the best policy” in this case, but it isn’t...

When I was a kid, my first major exposure to internet personalities, podcasts, swearing, intriguing storytelling, & offbeat senses of humor came from The Dawn & Drew Show. I really need to get back into listening to them.
(“Good night inkernet” is Dawn’s signature sign-off, FYI. Or at least it was when I was listening to them, back in 2004…?)

Them: You should write your own original songs instead of just doing covers. Me: I’ve written dozens upon dozens upon dozens of original songs. Is it really that difficult for you to click the button that takes you to my profile?

To ensure that it’s read by only people who care enough about me & know me well enough for me to feel comfortable with them reading it, it’s password protected & the password is the name of my first girlfriend.

-If applicable, consider switching to a different birth control formulation that has less progestin in it. (Progestin is typically the culprit for emotional side effects of HBC.)
-If not already, start taking supplements of calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, Omega-3, & vitamin B6. (Gala Darling recommends raw chocolate for magnesium, & turkey, fish & chicken for B6. I recommend a SAD...

Not that he’s not already good at dealing with me when I’m in the midst of a premenstrual mood swing, because he is.
I guess I just feel like it’s not fair that he should have to deal with me like this, at least not without help, because he didn’t sign up for it.
But then again, he assures me he’s fine, so, y’know.

-Mentioning someone’s ethnicity if it’s not relevant. If you’re telling your friend a story about the black guy who sat next to you on the bus or the Spanish lady who works at your bank, you don’t need to make their ethnicities a part of those stories… unless, of course, that information is actually critical to the sense of the story.

One day I want to get really drunk & then do a Q&A...
Seriously, how fun would that be?!
Sometimes I receive Formspring questions that would really be best answered through video… I’ve often thought maybe I should answer some of them via Vimeo but I’m not sure if people would actually be interested in that.
Although, I did just get a question about hairstyles that requires a video demonstration! Yay! (Coming soon.)

gratitude at the root
grateful for safe, happy home where I know I can stay as long as I want
grateful that there is always food for me to eat & water for me to drink
grateful for my family who take care of me, make me feel welcome everywhere I go, & encourage my talents & endeavors
grateful for my loving, handsome, charming, sweet, generous, supportive, sexy-as-fuck boyfriend, my rock & my love

Feeling really really good today. Maybe it’s because the internet is abuzz with thanksgiving messages; maybe it’s because I’ve been watching Halcyon & Robin Williams videos all day; maybe it’s because I get to see my improv team perform tonight… I don’t know. But it’s nice.

I had nothing to do today. Guilt stormed my ribcage like armed forces from some fucked future. I curled up in front of the television with a drink that gave me a funny buzzy feeling (much like the lovey-dovey movie I watched). It was enough to make the day pass.

shjaron asked: Are you currently manifesting anything into your life?
shjaron asked: Question: how do you get over someone completely? I'll use my own example: months ago something happened with someone I liked but didn't work out. I was upsted in the beginning, but not now, I'm over it and don't like him anymore. Don't see him either. But my mind -+ out of inertia, I'm guessing - keeps going back there whenever I'm thinking about the romantic...

Anonymous asked: Good. I'm glad you've thought about it so much. It sounds like you also had a bit of social anxiety though.
Anonymous asked: invasive question: aren't you scared that going to university again will just result in a repeat of what happened the first time? especially since you're going to the same university.

JEREMY LARSON - THEY REAPPEAR: 8.5/10
It’s hard to know what to expect when listening to a new Jeremy Larson album for the first time. His self-titled debut, finessed by a short-lived record label contract and attempt at mainstream success, overflows with quirky tunes about the sun and mathematics, sung in a youthful tenor. His sophomore release, Salvation Club, boasts a more carved-out...
