What the hell?!!! You cite Twilight in a review of Hedda Gabler? That’s it. Where’s the gun?
Anti-Slum
Damn you Slumdog. Damn you and the train you rode in on.
There are few things that I am truly prejudiced against; one of them is you. The other will get very pissed off if I tumblog about it and I don’t want to get a foot in my face.
Slumdog, you’re just too popular. I haven’t paid my $12 to see you yet, but damn you are an annoying, little underdog-b!tch of an over-hyped film....
Psychosomatic
The funeral was a week ago today.
Today I binge ate all day.
I’ve had anxious and angry encounters with my father, my mother and my twin. I am in fking pain and today my body fell to pieces. It’s oozing pain everywhere.
I know what it’s like to feel like there’s no way out except for the way out. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. When you really tap into it,...

A Voicemail For Dawn →
Insert Dawn of a New Era Pun Here
Dawn, a friend I met at Cornell, sent me an unassuming email that casually mentioned that she had been accepted to the MFA program at USC.
THE MASTER OF FINE ARTS PROGRAM AT USC.
I wish you could feel what I’m feeling right now because I sure as hell can’t describe it.
Impregnable
My father writes, “I have not understood your mood or your seemingly curt interaction with me.”
Dear father,
There’s a looooong ass line of people stretching round the block. I advise you to join the line. The person in front of you is your ex-wife. The person in front of her is your oldest son. The person in front of him is that fker from sophomore year …

WatchOkay Diablo … you officially win. Except for the teens in the car scene. I haven’t been a teenager in 5 years but honest to blog — Juno would’ve given you the stink-eye for writing that dialogue.
WatchLeta, it has been a pleasure watching you grow. Your mom is the coolest mom on the .coms — you have no clue.
