It’s hard for me to describe the kind of people I am attracted to, let alone the kind of people I take into relationships. Someone asked me for criteria once, but beyond “mostly brunettes?” it’s hard. I feel like a girlboy, or a boygirl, because the concept of gender roles is way too fluid for me to box up. Same goes for attraction, and my relationship sensibilities. I know...
rain is starting to kick in,
and I have the rest of the day to waste on my bed with pervert. So, movie time. Not sure which one I should watch:
21 Grams (2003)
Breakfast Club (1985)
Hotel Rwanda (2004)
Les Chansons d’Amour (2007)
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
PS I Love You (2007)
100 Girls (2000)
with the exception of the first and last, I haven’t seen any of these yet. Halp!
The following words are all from languages which...
unicornology: tarts: slightly:
Unrihtwillnung: improper love (Old English)
Istamaasdu: Listen, you in the plural! (Hittite, Turkey) Ebauthoo: water (Beothuk, Newfoundland) Kälymentwam: path to heaven (Tocharian, central Asia) Moíthgnatha: famously smooth (Old Irish) Tehonannonronkwanniontak: they greeted him with respect; literally, they greased his scalp many times (Huron, Ontario)...
i feel like
20something:

glaciers melt anyway
I was brought in as a guest to this ‘experiential training’ seminar to ‘lower the water level around your glacier’ and expose more of it to yourself and the world. or something like that. It was all interesting enough, but when confronted at the end I told them I didn’t have the money to be curious, because all I make goes to achieving one of my goals that they made me write earlier. They told me...

anatomy of a first.
so killerwhale and I had a fight. the first in our two years, and in the car.
it was a simple problem, and what simple problems are best at is scratching under the skin to reveal its roots. we were quiet when that happened. then we argued over those too. brief yelling, long silence, brief yelling, character assassinations laced with historical evidence, long silence, very long car ride.

on all those cheesy internet quotes about...
liy: its selfish to expect so much of a soulmate
liy: i just think its a lot simpler than that
liy: the most amazing things are very simple anyway
the good eek: ahh. truth.
liy: they come into your life, force you to look at yourself, at life differently
liy: they don't need to stay, settle in, kiss you and touch you all over till the day you die
liy: but you know you'll never find someone like them again
liy: and if it takes 2 months or 10 years for them to turn everything around or change the way you see things, why would you cling on them to stay longer if they have to go
the good eek: i mean this completely as a compliment of the highest order, but you're like yoda with better hair and skin
liy: -_-

have packed my bags, ready to sink into my mostly non-internet weekdays in my apartment. brought with me books 5, 6, and 12, some mac and cheese, quaker oats, calculus textbook, and all my german workbooks and exercises. oh, also a stack of post-its. what little furniture there is in my apartment will soon have genders.
going downstairs to say goodbye to my mother. digital bye!
