I make up for it with cunning and guile. RSS

I like cherry wood, argyle socks, and the language of Spanish. I dislike small dogs, most, but not all, Will Ferrell movies, and the feeling of velvet.

In another life I would like to come back as Allison Janney.

To be happy, it first takes being comfortable being in your own shoes. The rest can work up from there. The hardest situation to stay happy, I think, is when you’re trying to find love, and yourself at the same time. It just doesn’t seem to fit well. So I believe that happiness is being able to wake up and just know that this is what you wanted, and not what somebody else wanted.

It feels important to remind ourselves, at this point, that Facebook, our new beloved interface with reality, was designed by a Harvard sophomore with a Harvard sophomore’s preoccupations. What is your relationship status? (Choose one. There can be only one answer. People need to know.) Do you have a “life”? (Prove it. Post pictures.) Do you like the right sort of things? (Make a list. Things to like will include: movies, music, books and television, but not architecture, ideas, or plants.) But here I fear I am becoming nostalgic. I am dreaming of a Web that caters to a kind of person who no longer exists. A private person, a person who is a mystery, to the world and—which is more important—to herself. Person as mystery: this idea of personhood is certainly changing, perhaps has already changed.

From The Archives: 20-year-old Jim Morrison gets rejected by Florida State University in a public relations film emphasizing “the need for more college-educated Floridians to work in the state’s rapidly expanding industries.”

In actuality, the future Doors frontman was a Florida State University student at the time.

How to be Smarter: People love to tell others their life should be more structured. But if you take everything out of a messy drawer and attempt to put it back in neatly, sometimes not all of it will fit. Just because someone tells you your drawers–or your life–should be more organized and linear, doesn’t mean that is the best way for the things you find important to fit together.

Not everything comes along just when you want it. There are times when choices just have to be made or you’ll simply miss out.

I’m sure you’ve already seen this, as it’s been floating around the internet for a few days now at the very least, but The Riot would just like to lend our voice to the praise for this campaign.
Thank you, world, for finally doing something that isn’t telling women to try not to get raped, but is in fact telling men not to rape.
Men Can Stop Rape.


Will always reblog.
