Many times this week I’ve been running into instances where I need to lay off the sarcasm. Take a deep breath, Kate…and say what you mean.

But mostly Kate, Valeria and Katie
It’s so hard to choose, but my favorite might be, “Start a rumor that if you say my name three times in a row while looking into a darkened mirror, I show up at your house.” Only I would add, “Actually do it for some people.”

That sounds terrible, Claire! But I’m glad you’re back in touch and finding some determination out of all that.
Kate, Kate, Kate! How are you, my NY fashion buddy?! How’s everything going? Still @ ballet? I had to give it up :( But I took up boxing…makes perfect sense, eh?
Boxing? AMAZING. I’ve always wanted to...
Anonymous asked: Have any of the protagonists that you've written not been skinny?

One of the most insightful things I’ve ever read about eating disorders and body esteem in general was a comment on my blog a while ago that I regret being unable to find now. The writer was saying that most people think girls want to be skinny because of Hollywood and Vogue. This girl wanted to be skinny because she wanted to be a protagonist.
She didn’t expose herself to mainstream fashion...

Tumblr Savior Users!
Specifically on Firefox. Is there any way to block tags on pages that AREN’T your dash? Like, no offense to the masses, but I want to tag track Kristen Stewart without seeing Robert Pattinson’s lousy face.

And before you ask - yes. This is a thing I’m willingly and soberly posting in public.
But honestly.
I just picked him up and told him he was my favorite thing. And then - because I have to over think everything - I thought, “Well is that actually true?” So I thought of the other things I loved and I pitted them against my cat, cage match style.
You have to either leave New...
amnesia-toys asked: I've only just read your ~srs blogging~ post and all I can think of is rookiemag (which I read religiously mind you) but everyone and their cat has already suggested that so I'm just here to scoff at your "mediocre to acceptable job of writing things" because PUH-LEASE WOMAN (if possible, imagine Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen saying that in Full House).

What 20-Somethings Want
thesignaturething:
You want to be “stable” and see yourself make real progress. You would love to find the key to adulthood (Um, I think I saw it at Crate & Barrel next to the colanders) and not want to get drunk at happy hour anymore. It’s quickly turning into unhappy hour and you’re trying hard not to become a casualty of your age. You want nothing more than just to make it through...

Thanks ever so much to everyone who responded last night about my pending attempts at “professional” blogging. Anyone else have any ideas for blogs or online publications that might suit me? I’m writing down everyone’s suggestions. I’m looking in the sort of teen-oriented area, but open to anything regarding films, books, music, girlish things, etc.

areasofmyexpertise:
I concede that, even as a Deranged Millionaire, I have less a grasp on the economic contours of the speech than Andrew Sullivan, who was profoundly disappointed by it.
It’s true there was little uplift, and some very sour moments when, in his calls to “Frack, baby, frack, but frack somewhat less frackingly,” it sounded like he was trying to win the last 18 Republican ...

Hey, you lot. So I’ve decided to be a bit more serious about my blogging. No, no. Don’t worry, this place is still going to be a total disaster. But I did want to approach some websites/online publications with submissions, article ideas, and the like. See if I can get web-published and beef up the ol’ writing resume. Taking Things Seriously 2012, etc.
I seem to do a mediocre to...
