The real world is starting to encroach on my Google+. And no, I don't mean Tiffasaurus Rex. Or her BF. Or her husband. Today, I made a circle for People who ought to have stayed on FB. They can see my first few posts, including my very first post that says "Creaming my pants." That's a public post. I had just gotten in to G+ when it was barely a day old and I was beyond thrilled. They can see my "Internetz" album (That's going to change) and my post that says "Okay, I wish I could change posts to be visible by my circles only after posting, but now at least I know how to do it." I can't wait until you can modify visibility AFTER posting.

Two more movies on my "To Watch" list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisies_(film) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picnic_at_Hanging_Rock I won't get to them anytime soon. I spend my time off playing Oblivion. When I get tired, I turn on a Twin Peaks episode and then go to sleep after that. I think I'm in love with Special Agent Dale Cooper. He's a little crazy. And really quite attractive. ... Also Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet and Lost Highway.

I just remembered why I don't watch haul videos. Because now I NEED some OCC Lip Tars, Inglot gel liners, and absolutely ANYTHING by Sugarpill. Thank god Stila's sparkle liners are liquid. This video made me want to buy ANOTHER Laiva desk, and rearrange my makeup storage so I have a makeup desk and a regular desk. Geeeez

This was an SMBC comic today. One of the absolute best webcomics out there. I genuinely hope I don't offend people (cough*tif*cough). If I do, I am sorry.

I prefer to be alone. I have IRL friends who I spend time with very occasionally. I have a boyfriend. We live together. We have separate bedrooms because I need to be alone a lot. We've been together for almost four years and still going strong. People don't seem to get it. People think that there must have been something that happened, why am I scared of friendships and getting close to people. Sorry, I'm not. Nothing happened. I'm not nervous about meeting people. I'm not anxious about what they might think of me. I like my friends. I like my family. I like spending time with them, too. On occasion. For short periods of time. It's not that I have to be alone, or that I have no friends, or that no one wants to spend time with me. It's that I want to be alone. I just want to be alone. That's it. That's all there is to it. I'd just prefer to be alone. I had a long conversation with one of my internet friends about that today. In fact, I'm feel...

Effy Stonem An enigma when she first appears. She makes me think of High school Stargirl (also known as FairiKitty), if she did drugs. Lots of boys "love" Effy and she fucks up seriously a few times, though she really really didn't mean to. The first words Effy speaks. Cassie and Sid Love, some of the nicest love in the series. Sometimes, Sid can be a dumbass. It seems to me that when Cassie is happy, she is very happy. Unfortunately, she is often sad. Tony Stonem Tony is kind of a dick. And does some dickish things which make everyone hate him. But he's still my favorite character. More than Effy who is crazy/beautiful and gets high and wears ripped fishnets. More than Cassie who is floaty and wants more than life to be thin. There is so much there. And he really, really loves his sister.

It has been utterly fascinating to watch the changed in Tavi, the style rookie, over the past couple years. Lately, it's been less about high fashion and more about self-fashion and discovery. She reminds me of the kind of introspective teen that I read about in all these coming-of-age novels. Except, less try-hard-y than some of the teens. She also dresses really fucking cool. Sometimes her outfits look a bit shapeless (nothing wrong with surrendering shape) but inspirational. In her latest post, her outfit looks inspired, and it makes her look almost 16. Fan. Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie; Joan Jett and Cherie Currie; David Bowie; Alia Shawkat, Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart as Robin*, Cherie and Joan As a kind of pre-list-note, I'd like to add Skins (UK, duh) and The Runaways (both the film and the music). And maybe Grease. And Stargirl. And Rats Saw God. And Mystic Pizza. And Every brat pack movie. -Twin Peaks -Heathers -Blue Velvet -Virgin Suicides -Rocky Horror Pict...

I sent a drunken email to my daddy. from Stargirl to Dadders date Sun, Jul 3, 2011 at 2:01 AM subject HI Dear dadders At least i have the presence of mind to sent this email to your gmail and not your official work mail. I figure it is only a matter of time until I drunk email you. Did you ever drunk call your dad? I have this gorup of online friends who I sometimes hang out with and drink with. I don't have a lot of IRL ("in real life") close friends and that is how I like it. But these days, I think, that online friends are just as good. They are good friends. I mean pretty good. I like hanging out with them. Real friends take a lot of maintenance.  K-Swiss is my best friend ever. Tonight I am drinking with these online friends. Don't worry. I have my drinking hat on. Anyway, I told one of them about how yuou answer the phone " American Hero, please state the nature of your emergency" his dad was in the military too, he couldnt' st...

I just finished Virgin Suicides a few days ago. A few days before that it was Young Adult Novel (by Daniel Pinkwater). I'll probably finish Perks of Being a Wallflower tomorrow. Next I think I'll read The Price of Salt, which I heard influenced Lolita. So I'll read Lolita after that. I was off on Friday. I don't have to go back to work until Thursday. It kinda feels like spring break, which is really nice. K-Swiss is off, too. Last night we watched Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. We played a drinking game: a shot every time someone goes invisible. A sip whenever someone gets beheaded or insulted. We also did a shot for Boromir. We also sipped a lot, indiscriminately. We got pretty drunk. K-swiss fell asleep and I got on video chat with some reddit friends. I got a little drunker and went to sleep. Today I've been lazing around the house. I was a little hungover today. I would just lay down and nap or read in whatever room K-Swiss was...

I've been reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower today. It's hard for me to read. Not because it's a challenging read. I'm kind of sensitive and emotional. Coming-of-age books usually make me feel a lot. I was pretty emotional in high school. They make my heart hurt. I'd like to include here the books and music and movies that Charlie experiences through the course of the story Books (he describes all of them as his favorite): To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald A Separate Peace by John Knowles The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger On the Road by Jack Kerouac Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs Walden by Henry David Thoreau Hamlet by William Shakespeare The Stranger by Albert Camus The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand The book also references a book of poems by E. E. Cummings but does not mention which one. Film: Rocky Horror Picture Show (specifically, floor s...
