In the depths of the crisis I thought I could make myself feel better if I wrote love letters to the universe and thereby reminded myself of all the wonderful coincidences that led to my life bring what it is.
I checked the registry and that tumblr already existed and, being in the throes of a crisis partially predicated on the ‘there’s nothing new in the universe - so what’s...

i don’t know if this means anything, or if this is at all a unique, but i just realized i have a much easier time remembering to be somewhere than remembering that i have to do something. the most interesting example of this is that last semester i had a meeting set up with a TA but i never internalized that i had to BE where the meeting was, and internalizing that i had to GO to a meeting...

Sometimes I want to talk about how much I love Sam Anders. But when I open my mouth, only this weird gurgling sound comes out. And I can’t type because my arms are busy flailing all over the place.
Basically my love for Sam Anders outstrips the human ability to communicate.

Watchthis is the song i’ve most often had stuck in my head for two weeks. if you don’t know mountain man, you ought to. someone else described them as a “hipsters with angelic voices trifecta.” sometimes they use a guitar, too; mostly it’s just them weaving their voices into a very comforting cocoon of floating harmonies.

I find it really weird and exciting how when I’m on the platform for the last train home the men and the women standing alone are mostly making the same distant faces but I only every notice the women. Is this that whole ‘we’re trained to think of each other as competition’ paradigm? Is it just that i actually care more about how women feel than men? Is it just that the...

I like how the trains go faster between stops late at night than they do during the day. I hate how my fingers go faster than the phone than my brain, then I have to interrupt and go back and remedy the errors. AUTOCORRECT AMIRITE?! I like how night makes us freer but I hate Stephanie Meyer.

I think the first time I ever heard of “feminism” it was on the Brady Bunch, when Marcia was asked what she thought of women’s lib and somehow her answer caused a huge scandal (because she’s in favor of it?) and that may have been an episode where someone gets hit in the face with a football. (I am pretty sure that each of the kids got hit in the face with a ball at least...

Note to self for future grown up happiness.
I think I like living in the city (because I need Thai and indian food in close proximity) but I think my favorite adventures take place in the country and involve driving and nighttime.

I miss you a little, Steve Jobs.
Things I like about my iPhone: how when I run my thumbs up or down the screen, alternating really fast, it knows I want to go to the top or the bottom.
