unfollowfriday:
She compared Twilight to the Bible.
I skim unfollowfriday for interesting tumblrs to follow (Oh, irony, why aren’t you made of iron?) and skipping past three-paragraph complaints to stumble on this one-sentence gem totally made my evening. XD

I think I’m a fan of “twee.” At least, for the past few months, everything I can stand to listen to has either been natural sounds, my friends’ voices, or indie pop tagged with the word “twee,” which wikipedia redirects to indie pop anyway. Is there a difference between indie pop and twee?
I don’t think I ever want to be “hardcore” anything, except maybe at living. I AM A HARDCORE OXYGEN BREATHING PERSON. RAWR.

From My Diary:
-I feel shitty.
-What haunts me is this: What if they’re right? What if I’m wrong in wanting to respect diversity? I mean, I’m a lot like a Christian. I’m a virgin. I want marriage. I want to be closer to God.
-My head hurts.
-I just want everyone to be happy with who they are. Must that mean all this conflict and violence?
Notes:
I slept in this morning. My head hurts. Fuckyeahcilantro is the best theme tumblr ever. I ate less for lunch than I usually do because I decided the other day I wanted to fit into every pair of jeans I own. Yup.
Things I Will Write:
-An audio serial about being an RA in a public university first-years’ dormitory.
-A graphic novel about the perils of chivalry during the reign of a fictional Irish shape-shifter monarchy.
-A romance about building a family when you’re both a lesbian and a vampire.
-A sci-fi epic about a priest in space.
-A young adult novel about accidental forays into alternative dimensions and...

I just finished reading 1984. I feel like shaving my head and climbing a mountain. Or at least losing my virginity to some skank I don’t know. Huh.

I was in a gay pride parade today. I don’t get why people don’t get my enthusiasm about things. How do I maintain my engagement with everything? Well, cripes, how else am I to live? Like it’s a burden to be breathing this air or waving this rainbow flag? What’s the point of that? Stupid.

I don’t know why I like Franz Kafka. I just do. I guess I like being reminded of what’s important by observing the lives of those who don’t have it. I mean, it’s more than, “Well, thank goodness I’m not a bug today.” It’s, “Thank goodness I have emotions about whether or not I’m a bug and that there are people and places and things around...

“I’m not unfaithful but I’ll stray.”
– Tegan and Sara
What is it with lesbians and diaries? Are we so enamored with our own souls? Do we hope to read it one day with our lovers? Are we so convinced that we are but one tragic death away from genius that history will want to know what we were thinking of in 140 characters or less?
I think often of keeping a physical, handwritten diary for posterity’s sake, but who the hell knows what future ages...

I’m watching “Affinity.” I almost wish I lived in the Victorian era so that I should know if I were feeling great passion. The contrast between the human heart and the setting in these period films is so great that the emotions are laid bare almost by accident.
