keeping a notebook

'why did I write it down? in order to remember, of course, but exactly what was it i wanted to remember? how much of it actually happened? did any of it? why do i keep a notebook at all?'

Pictured above: My most prized possession.
On Saturday night I wear it out with heels and a flashy necklace and look like a fucking ho then on Sunday afternoons (not mornings, be serious, guys) I wear it out with Birkenstocks and a boy’s cardigan and look like a fucking ho.

“Chelsea Hotel #2” — The Shivers (mp3)
I ate tacos with these guys a few weeks ago! Well, I actually just ate all the free chips that Jo kindly kept asking our waitress to refill on my behalf. The kinda creamy green salsa at that place is insane.

I have this theory. If you tell any man, ‘Today I am your sexual servant. You can tell me whatever you want and I’ll do it to you,’ every man would think of 12 things to do. Men have fantasies; they have words for everything. They could tell a woman, ‘Lie down, do this, lick this.’ But if I a man said to me, ‘I am your sexual servant, what do you want me to do?’ I would be blank. There’s nothing even in my head to allow myself to think what I actually like. I seem to be a modern, self-confident woman, and people would think that kind of woman would be into dirty talk, high heels, drugs, fucking around. But as soon as it comes to the secret intimacy of my own fantasies, there’s almost nothing there.

Let's say I'm me

classyandshit:

and I told you I was thinking about completing a project under the name of an alter ego I created named, say, Sasha Fierce. And then let’s pretend I told you I wanted to construct a titanium glove to signify when I was transformed into Sasha Fierce and then wear it in public while doing my job.


What would you say to me? Would you say, “Hey, great idea Cate. Or should I say Sasha?”

No, you wouldn’t. You’d be like, “Shut the fuck up you idiot.”

I know (I mean I really, really know) that I’m not Beyonce but for god sakes when do your friends stop telling you the truth? Does she even have friends? Once you start thinking it’s legitimate to have an alter ego I think the majority of human interaction becomes unavailable to you.

FYI I actually do have an alter ego and her name is Shakira Are You Gonna Eat That Devine.

Follow this.

Sorry I’ve been a little light on posting recently, guys. My life has been pretty jam packed with trying to get as many of those things inside of me as I can. Just, all day long. (I’m worried it’s a pregnancy craving.)

Lifestyle choices.

  • Me: Torie and I were wearing hipster slut costumes tonight.
  • Roommate: If you hadn't told me that, I honestly would've never known it was anything out of the ordinary.

Sudan is not ok to keep a dog with you whereas I couldn’t be interesting in getting it since it will be worst than you take care of it. Sudan is just good for live only where you can escaped from __ while dog wouldn’t take where to stay but to left it unsafety is unfair treatment to animal, however you can be suit.
