good morning chickens
No tumblr for me today, it’s transition time. I start the new position on Monday—signed the papers this morning.
I hope you all find a way to carry on without me (it will be tough but you can do it, I know you can).
Try to keep the dramz to a minimum today, okay? I only like car crashes I’m there to witness.
Oh—and if you’ve e-mailed me in the last 24...
Question
icanseenewyorkcityfrommyhouse:
How long do you have to wait after moving in somewhere to bring up the question of pets?
Like 6 months? And then do you say, “Hey, let’s get a cat! or five!”
Why bring it up? Unless your pet is a hippo just fucking do it. Tough times, people want the rent. Better to ask forgiveness than permission…

If you didn’t get one and you want one—reblog, comment, e-mail.

peterfeld:
I will strive to offer the same guarantee.
Peter we won’t hold it against you, I promise. Did Drudge really say that? Shit.
hey Tumblr designers
Can you make a better way to add comments to reblogged chats? As it is it just adds to the chat. Yeah, I know, free, whatever, I’m not sayin, I’m just sayin.

Only on the website of a print property can you read an entire story about a blog for girlfriends of finance guys, or an art gallery deathwatch blog, and yet the story doesn’t link to the blog it is writing about.

Sorry dudes, Google still wins. Maybe try a partnership with puppies?
it's a promise, not a threat (I swear!)
If you unfollow after my end of SNPD declaration I will call you out—by name, right here, maybe even in caps.
on quitting
I like SNPD in theory. It has taken me a long, long time to come to accept and love my naked body and I think it would be so fucking kick ass if other people could reach that place too. I just don’t think SNPD is fostering that movement effectively.
The fact is, I only post my best shots, the ones that in effect reflect me the least. I don’t have a perfect body—not even close. I have stretch...
I'm accepting the offer
Thanks to those who offered thoughts and advice.
it would appear that this will be the last time I...
so, this is retarded, right?
Hypothetically speaking, I hate my job. And hypothetically speaking if I were offered a different position that paid better, involved less hours with a longer lunch break it would make total sense to jump on it, right?
It would also probably mean not sitting on Tumblr all day. Fuck.
Hypothetically speaking, I don’t think I can make this call. I don’t want to give up the kind...

But it sort of makes my insides cry when I see that pic of that girl with those comments. Like, whatever and shit, but I feel for her. It isn’t enough that she’s got those features now she has a community of people suggesting plastic surgery?
But like, I understand that none of us have any physical imperfections and everything so we couldn’t possibly understand the value of...

(via jstars)
I’m so there.
you thought there were no attached strings?
Thank you all for loving me. But you’re not done yet. When I publish my books and produce my plays and get a morning talk radio show and everything, can you remember that love?
jumping on bandwagons
I’m good for it to. If you want a valentine, send me your mailing address. If you want to be stalked, send me your home address.
Throwing this out there
smashley:
And it’s mostly a bit pathetic, but who wants to be my valentine?
I don’t require much. Just a card (preferably sent to me in the mail) and one day where you tell me how much you like me and how awesome I am. Bonus points for a mix cd and booze/chocolate. Extra bonus points if you volunteer and I have a secret crush on you already.
I’ll do it. Tumblr secret santa was a...

Recently I was smoking a joint with a friend and the television, on mute, was showing the local news. On the screen were a bunch of puppies, adorable little fuckers, frolicking as they do. I knew, though, that if we turned up the volume I’d hear some talking head using their so serious so sombre voice to tell us why these puppies are a danger to us, or are in danger, or are signaling...

Everything she says is valid. But the moral of the story rings a lot less true when you consider that she has had much plastic surgery. I can’t take seriously the “love your beautiful self and leave these women alone” message from somebody with a nose job, sorry.
I've got to admit it's getting better
At the height of my obsession with followers gained and lost I created a spreadsheet. Yup. It was an arduous process, too, so if you’re thinking it isn’t that pathetic you’re pretty wrong.
I was mapping who I lost, approximately when I lost them and attempting to find correlations between my content and the flux of followers.
As I type this I am deeply embarrassed and...
I respectfully disagree with you, Molls. The people I’ve met here have been almost across the board incredible friends—real life or otherwise. And all of this “real world” vs “internet world” is bull shit.
I spend eight hours a day—at least—on Tumblr, interacting with these people. I share my shit with them and I hear theirs. I spend more time interacting with you dudes than I do with my family. ...
fine, guys.
realrealsoft:
i’ve never posted anything even resembling a list, because i find that shit pretty depressing, i was just doing it for jaimeleighfairbrother so i could gain points and maybe one day get in her pants. but yeah, i guess always resisting making lists, reblogging annoying conversations and dead-and-over memes, because i hate being annoying has gotten me nowhere! : D i solemly swear...

It is not enough to reblog and tell me I’m tumblr famous. MAKE THE LIST PLEASE. (If I made it people would see through the whole thing.)

The last three songs I heard?
“Delta Dawn”—Tanya Tucker
“This Cowboy’s Hat”—Chris Ledoux
“Swingin’”—John Anderson.
Oh yeah…
I want to fuck that little playlist.
listen, if we're gonna all be going ooooohh...
I would like to know who I should be sitting back and judging.
fuuuuck
I wish I could stop myself from being a car crash watcher. Glad I’m not involved, but still loving the noise and the lights and the dramz.
I fail to see how one could reference this song...
