i am so embarrassing sometimes.
Every year, my school does their own version of American Idol with students as contestants. I work for student government and this year I’m one of the people in charge. We had auditions today and decided to have funny fake auditions for the bloopers to go on our website and make it more like the real American Idol. Sooo…
I sang a heartbreakingly tone deaf a cappella version of...

She thought that I was afraid because if I was in a relationship with a girl, it would be harder for me because I’d have to publicly admit that I wasn’t straight to people.
I think it’s the opposite. If you’re in a relationship with someone, it’s like, here is this person towards whom I am directing all my sexual energy. If you’re really uncomfortable with the whole thing, you...

today i got into my first choice grad school.
which has a 7.5% acceptance rate, making it harder to get into than Harvard Law. Words cannot express how excited I am right now.
sometimes i write things.
I had class last night and my professor had us do a writing exercise. She showed us a picture of a typewriter and we just had to write for maybe five minutes. I usually hate the pieces I write for in-class exercise, but part of me almost likes the way this turned out. So I’ll post it here, just this once.

just a warning.
I just wrote and submitted a story for my fiction workshop that has a trans narrator. I’m serious, if somebody in my class is an asshole, I’m going to flip a shit.
smellylittlegranola-deactivated asked: Did you get your hair cut? And what class(es) do you have tomorrow?
CLASSES START TOMORROW.
& I’m never going to fall asleep tonight.

and I had a good time telling my brother he’s actually a girl. And a lesbian too. 24 and still gullible as fuck.
A couple of months ago, I was at a store and one of his music videos was on tv. I stood there watching it for a few minutes and i seriously thought he was a 13 year old lesbian until I found out a few girls in my class loved “him”. >.>

haircut advice.
I want to get my haircut today. I want it to be a “male” haircut vs. a “female haircut” where they try to make my short hair look “feminine” by cutting it weird. How do I go about telling them this? Any ideas for haircuts I should consider? Pictures I should take with me to show them?
kitchenknivesandcherrybombs asked: What do you love most about CNF? What is it that draws you to it?
things i don't hate.
playing air guitar to Queen’s “We Are the Champions” with my two favorite people under the age of 10.
things i hate.
when my brother comes up behind me and looks over my shoulder when I am on the computer. Especially if I am looking at something I don’t necessarily want him to see.
@nervouspotato asked...
…what books people are reading and/or what books they want to read.
I started to answer but it was too long, so…
I am re-reading the Harry Potter series at the moment — I started yesterday and I am about 30 pages into the third book. I’m also reading Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud for my graphic novel course, which starts Monday. Last night, I finished Stitches:...

I’m babysitting and the kids are asleep, so now I’m bored.
please?

Spread the word now by reblogging this. This has to be stopped, so many people are putting false hope into something that, while it MAY help a few people, is nothing more than a fad.
This should be required reading for anyone wearing one of those stupid fucking t-shirts. Seriously.

thank you for getting the word out there about this fucking bullshit organisation, bbz.
I tell everyone I know who supports them.
I tried telling people this when they came to campus this semester. No one believed me and those that did, didn’t care. It was depressing.

I love William Faulkner. One of my favorite short stories ever is “A Rose For Emily.” So beautiful and haunting and creepy.

PLACES WHERE I WANT TO MOVE
tymps:
I’ll second Asheville, Boston, and Portland, and I can get behind Savannah and Brighton, too. My top 5 list looks like this:
1. Austin, TX
2. Minneapolis, MN
3. Portland, OR
4. Boston, MA
5. San Francisco, CA
Ahh! Austin almost made the list, but I kinda got bored. Ha. Where do you actually live?
western New York. It’s thrilling.
PLACES WHERE I WANT TO MOVE
tymps:
1) ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA -it’s full of artsy intellectuals. -i have some weird fantasy about becoming a tour-guide at Biltmore, which is in Asheville. 2) BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS -really good public transit -so gay it has “gayborhoods.”
3)BRIGHTON, ENGLAND -raging nightlifeF -BEACH. BEACH. BEACH. -Refered to as “the gay capital of Britain.”
4) PORTLAND, OREGON -thriving music...

Mom: Your hair looks awful right now.
Me: I know. I'm going to cut it this weekend.
Mom: That won't make it look any better. It's sticking up in the back.
Me: It'll look better if I shave it.
Mom: Go ahead. I'll just buy you a carhartt and some flannel.

so i came out to my dad as queer. now what? do i come out to him as a poet? as someone whose life goals don’t extend far beyond “writing poems forever”? do i come out as an anarchist? do i come out to him as someone who will probably shave her entire head within the next 4 years? do i tell him i’m reasonably going to end up working at a rad bookstore or vegan cafe or something...

I am obsessed with Bananagrams on Facebook.
These sound interesting. What the heck are they?
It’s like a weird version of Scrabble. You get a whole bunch of word tiles and the goal is to use all of the word tiles in as little time as possible. Not sure why it’s called Bananagrams but I love it.
That sounds...
truth.

I am at my parents’ house for a couple days because I had to come home and bring my guinea pig, Harold, to the vet. (He’s okay, by the way. $54.95 later and he just needs a couple of shots of antibiotics.) Anyway, my parents and my grandma and I went out for Mexican tonight and when we got to the restaurant, the “n” on the neon “Open” sign was out, and my...

I was asked, “IF YOU COULD LIVE ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD YOU PICK AND WHY?”
This might be a ridiculously boring (and long) answer, but…
I would love to move back to my hometown someday and live there. I grew up in the finger lakes region of New York which, if you’ve never been, is literally the most beautiful place in the world. Granted, I haven’t been that many...
i've decided to stop being (quite so) anonymous.
My name is Lindsay. I live in western New York. Any other questions?

A little 3 year old boy was just here and we were playing blocks on the floor. I thought it was hilarious that we have the same haircut (when mine isn’t hawked), but it was made even more awesome when he kept referring to me using male pronouns. And when someone corrected him, he just shrugged, totally unfazed, and kept knocking over my block towers. I love little kids...

I am waiting for the vet to call me back about my guinea pig and I am trying not to worry too much. (He’s fine, he’s fine, he’s fine…) I could use the distraction.
