I tire of everyone referring to everything as “hipster.” I am still convinced this is the most meaningless, obnoxious term ever; the ubiquity of this nonsense is so upsetting to me. Is it over yet? Uggghhhhh.
AGREED. It doesn’t even mean anything. What, someone who likes interesting music? Vintage things? Who’s into recycling and being educated about their choices and...

I've Decided
I wish I could make a living off of blogging somehow. Magically one day I’d create this massively adored blog with all sorts of treasures: observations and poems, recipes and anecdotes, adventures, anything & everything else.
There’s so much I love about studying English and about the illimitable beauty of words. But I just cannot for the life of me begin to narrow down career...

junkwhale replied to your post: Getting really fed up
Hahahaha I think the like, one post I did in this vein really was SO. AWKWARD. All of my moments are awkward moments, I think.
Hahaha, you’re allowed to use it if you want! I’m sure I have on occasion when awkwardness happens. Which, yeah, in my life is pretty often. But when people use it such as, “that awkward moment when...

Getting really fed up
With this whole “that awkward moment when…” trend.
Usually those moments aren’t even awkward. And that phrase is taking the funny out of them anyway.

Things I am tempted to use for my senior quote
contrarybear:
“I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness”-Allen Ginsberg, Howl
Oh, how I do love me some Howl.
The best is hearing Allen Ginsberg read it. I went from despising the man’s voice to wanting to swim in it in about 10 minutes.

Some people have very off-putting personalities.
It makes me a bit sad for them. And also for people who have to deal with them.

Coachella
The lineup physically pains me this year.
The prices are obscene, but I would absolutely, without a doubt, rain or shine, in my state of total moneylessness, drop everything in my life to be there. It is probably the single best lineup I’ve ever seen.
The year I went was great. The year afterward was eh.
But this one? Fireworks. Explosions. I wish I could’ve seen my own facial...

Abnormal
Yes, I know. I just didn’t like ‘abnormal’ in this circumstance. And sometimes it’s okay to make up words, I think.
Thank you though. Always nice to see kind folk spreading the grammar.
It’s hard to know how to be normal with someone when your relationship with them is suddenly un-normal. somehow everything comes out sounding so false, even when you’re absolutely not trying to be and that’s the last thing you want.
