Watching Pixar DVDs with the commentary tracks, listening to these artists breathlessly point out every clever detail and relate all the careful deliberations, the process of their craft. Grinning like an idiot as these filmmakers revel in their own artistic genius.

I’m spending my Netflix New Year’s re-watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. Surprising: it’s an awesomely feminist-positive show. Glad to discover that my tweenage self had great taste.

It only hurts when I breathe.
It only hurts when I try.
It only hurts when I think.
It only hurts when I cry.
It only hurts when I work.
It only hurts when I play.
It only hurts when I move.
It only hurts when I say
it’s just another day.

Gah....
Composing a long and difficult letter, it becomes clear just how much damage has been done to my writing by the “generous” English accommodations forced upon me in high school.
If you wish to become a better writer, read more. If you want to STAY one, simply write. Frequently. Following my POTS diagnosis, Special Ed saddled me with three years of neither when I should have been in AP...

I'm NOT gay, people.
Nor am I bi.

A conversation about marriage (with some...
(reblogged from: http://imcesarleyva.tumblr.com/post/4072096950)
Classmate #1: Like, I'm okay with gay people wanting to be with each other. But marriage should be between a guy and a girl.
Classmate #2: I don't even want to see it. Like, it's nasty.
Me: Oh my god! I know! My neighbor was talking about how he and his Jewish girlfriend wanna get married and I was like "Why should you two be allowed to get married?" in my head. I mean, why would they think it was okay for a Christian and a Jew to get married. Disgusting.
Classmates: ....
Me: And let me tell you about this other couple I saw making out at the mall. It was nasty. The boy was white and the girl was black. Can you believe that? Two people of different races being together? That's just wrong.
Classmate #2: What the hell is wrong with you? So what if they want to be together?
Classmate #1: Yeah, there isn't anything wrong with it.
Me: Are you kidding me? It's completely wrong.There is only one kind of marriage that is okay. And that is between a man and a woman of the same race, religious background, with the same income level and from the same place. We wouldn't want kids to think that diversity is okay. God wouldn't appreciate these people ruining the sanctity of marriage.
Classmate #1: Why are you even in this conversation? God loves everyone.
Me: What? So you're telling me that God doesn't care who you marry, because he loves everyone?
Classmate #1: Yeah...
Me: Does he love animals, too?
Classmate #1: He loves human and animals and living creatures all around.
Me: Whoa. That just blew my mind. Well it is a good thing that gay people can't get married then. Because everyone knows that gay people aren't human, or living for that matter. Haha.
Classmate #1: ....
Me: Go choke on a dick you stupid prick.
I got in trouble, but it was worth it ;)
