“We lusted after elusive perfection, seeking with an insatiable and hellish desire to be the best, the brightest, the prettiest, the wittiest, the smartest, the sexiest — all embodied in being the Thinnest — whatever the cost. Eventually, we lost ourselves in the process…”
Thing I love about you number 997528.
I love the way your hair falls in your face when you’re sleeping, your lips parted every so slightly, like you’re about to say something really profound or recite poetry to me.
And then you snore.

It’s not that I’m narcissistic, though you’d be fooled by the amount of self-taken photography that occupies my hard drive. Writing, photography… it’s a method of discovery.
Who am I?

Watchtexturism:
… the middle two sections make up our limbic brains, and our limbic brains are responsible for all of our feelings, like trust and loyalty. it’s also responsible for all human behavior, all decision-making, and it has no capacity for language. in other words, when we communicate from the outside in, yes, people can understand vast amounts of complicated information like features and...

Blue Nights
Stop crying. Please stop crying. Please.
I begged myself on the bus this morning as I lost control while finishing “Blue Nights.” I knew it was about to happen and I was asking myself to stop before I started. This is not uncommon. Faulty logic. I always know when it’s about to happen. Crying, that is. Any loss of control, really. My throat tightens and I cannot breathe. I hold my breath, as if...

i am running into a new year and the old years blow back like a wind that i catch in my hair like strong fingers like all my old promises and it will be hard to let go of what i said to myself about myself when i was sixteen and twenty-six and thirty-six even thirty-six but i am running into a new year and i beg what i love and i leave to forgive me

Equilibrium
I am a creature of habit. I am comforted by control. I can handle anything as long as I know what to expect. I need my expectations managed appropriately and I take great care to manage the expectations of others.
I have had a lot of loss in my life.
Death. Abandonment. People who have failed me and people I have failed. I have scar tissue: thick, callouses over my emotions, the ability to turn...

Why Lateness is the Rudest Thing Ever
Time. It’s limited. It’s valuable. Our employers put a dollar value on it. And yet most people waste it. Admittedly, I’m a type A personality. Everything has to be perfect. I’s dotted, t’s crossed and if I am ever late to something, you can assume it’s because I’m dead. If I’m late and still breathing and with pulse, I’m aware of my lateness...

The Holidays.
For me, the holidays require two distinct groups of people to love me-those who will laugh and let me eat the last cookie, and those who don’t judge when I want to wrap the garland around my neck. December 26th, please get here soon. I’m running out of steam.

FAQ's: Are you a vegetarian?
Are you a vegetarian?
No, why do you ask?
I don’t know…you look like a vegetarian.
What, I wonder, does a vegetarian look like? I don’t have a barn full of farm animals tucked lovingly under my arm; I just checked. Nor do I sport PETA t-shirts or scream “MURDERER” as I walk past steak houses.
My eating habits are [noticeably] different.
