I like to entertain the idea of winding up with someone whose French is as mediocre+ as my Spanish. That way, we could manage to trek our way around Southwestern Europe with relative ease and a few hilarious mistranslations.

Day 11 – What do you think about prostitution?...
I think, “Why would anyone ever pay for sex?”
I just don’t find that sexy at all. I was in a writing class today and some fortysomething post-graduate student kept asking and asking about how to make money in the writing industry. I was just so turned off by the entire discussion that I nearly walked out. I don’t find the formal transference of money appealing in general....

“Georgia defines rape as “penetration of the female sex organ by the male organ,”...”
– Official: Definition of Rape in Georgia is too broad
Can we please start using the words ‘penis’ and ‘vagina’?
I mean, I know pushing my humanist agenda where we stop making rape relevant to what’s between one’s legs is too much, too soon. The word...

Gonna go get etched soon.
The question is, do I go off-campus entirely, Eagle Clips, my next door neighbor’s (dude with the hi-top fade looks like a friggin’ pharaoh. I bet he knows how to rock some clippers), or the cute-yet-conservative barbershop beside the Fast and Easy.
I really don’t wanna answer the “why would you do a thing like that” question. Because if I...

I. It was this Catch Me if You Can .gif that did me in yesterday. I didn’t have Internet until late senior year of high school. Before that, mom would rent films from the library that I could watch on the portable DVD player she purchased me for Christmas.
Catch Me if You Can was one of them. I’d also spend thirty minutes digging through the bargain bins at Wal-Mart. The day I...

Day 10 – What do you think about straightxedge?
I wish I didn’t have so many feelings about it.
SxE was conceived by D.C. punk boys with the sole purpose of keeping riot grrrls out of their music venues. White male young adults would post signs outside of clubs which read “No girls allowed” in order to keep their own sort from falling for the likes of Kathleen Hanna, Allison Wolfe, or even worse: their feminist ideals. That...

Dear tumblr, it’s been a long day. I’m mopey and a bit needy. I’m going to counteract this by watching psychological thrillers and eating my weight Toblerone triangles.
Tell me something good?

Day 9 – Pro-life or pro-choice?
…Pro-choice is pro-life.
I don’t see why a woman’s existence should be of less importance than that of the embryo she’s carrying.

Why do you like all my favorite things?!
We’ve got to meet.
privatepanic replied to your post: Boywunder asks, what does your favorite Bach song mean? And what does your favorite color smell like?
I should probably let you know that I have a cello and I can play Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1. Except I need to buy an A string because mine popped.
Darlin’, don’t use the words ‘popped’ and ‘string instrumentalist’ in the...
I have one bottle of Goldschläger and one bottle of Kraken Black Rum.
Now, to find that one missing ingredient. Company…

Pot and other organic drugs should, without a doubt.
Underage drinking is only an issue because we’ve made it into one.

I hadn’t had animal protein in three weeks. So when I got paid, I ran to the nearest pump/shop and bought two packs of sliced ham, three bars of cheese, and a carton of eggs.
Cheese=gone.
Ham=3/4ths eaten.
Eggs=You’re next.
The beast is back.

A group of GSU honors program study abroad kids returned home from Egypt a few days ago, including several fellow writing and journalism peers.
If I were one of them, I wouldn’t have returned home. This is history in the making, and I don’t get why one would want to miss out on the opportunity to witness and chronicle it. That’s what, as writers, we ache to do. Not return to the...

I know no one wants to hear about my lustlife in divine detail, so I won’t go there. But before I left, she said that I reminded her of this Frost poem.
No one’s told me that I reminded them of anything literary in the longest time. It was nice.
