Best Friends.
Ginah: I just went hiking with my dad and showered. I'm gonna look like a bum so don't look too nice now.
Me: Well, I'm sick so don't expect much.
Ginah: At this point in our friendship, I'm pretty sure either one of us can show up in a spandex onesies without judgement.

You should date a girl who reads.
You should date a girl who reads. Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.
Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag....

Pineapple.
I have had the strangest food cravings lately.
So I have been craving a pineapple. Without reason.
Because of this craving and my inability to just let things go, I spent two days hunting down a pineapple. I literally dragged a friend with me, up and down the aisles of Ralphs and Trader Joe’s to find fresh pineapple and pineapple juice.
And I am now sitting here, content with my freshly...

You should date an illiterate girl.
You should date an illiterate girl. Date a girl who doesn’t read. Find her in the weary squalor of a Midwestern bar. Find her in the smoke, drunken sweat, and varicolored light of an upscale nightclub. Wherever you find her, find her smiling. Make sure that it lingers when the people that are talking to her look away. Engage her with unsentimental trivialities. Use pick-up lines and laugh...

Oh, Lisa :)
Susanna: [reading from a book] "Borderline Personality Disorder. An instability of self-image, relationships and mood... uncertain about goals, impulsive in activities that are self-damaging, such as casual sex."
Lisa: I like that.
Susanna: "Social contrariness and a generally pessimistic attitude are often observed." [pauses]
Susanna: Well, that's me.
Lisa: That's everybody.

My Reflexive Coping Mechanisms:
1) Become a hermit. In a quiet place. Like the library or a faraway Starbucks.
2) Clean my room obsessively (my real room, the one at home).
3) Clean out my computer (All those random things I saved, the notes I don’t read or even want to read anymore, the old movies I never watch)
4) Delay responses to texts, emails, messages, phone calls that I shouldn’t be avoiding until things...

Do we push people away out of:
1) fear? Fear that they might get too close, fear that they’ll know too much, fear that if they know enough they would stop loving us?
2) love? Love them enough to not want to hurt them, love them enough to lie to them so as not to hurt them, love them enough to keep them away from destructive beings as ourselves?

May this bring you a little of the pleasure it has brought me. Love, D
09/18/55
I found this in a book at the Salvation Army, The Prophet. Slanted cursive handwriting. It makes me wonder who D was, who it was for. It’s from so long ago and seeing as it has ended up at the Salvation Army, it must have exchanged so many hands. It gives that book history.
I love book inscriptions. It...

I need to clean my room.
I don’t mean the superficial clean but that deep cleanse that you need once every few years. The check-every-drawer, throw-out-old-clothes cleaning. Kind of like a haircut, it feels good to let go of it.
And it’s really interesting. I apparently get attached and hoard the weirdest crap on the idea that I might one day need it, want to remember it. But in retrospect, I have no idea why...
