hearts are wild creatures

I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see that you are unarmed. / Alison, 21

“Looking back at this past week, I really am glad I decided to drop some of my classes after all. -- And the most packed day is yet to come...”

[alisnhastings]

Ugh, so when is Drake gonna realize that pussy just isn’t cutting it and that we were meant to be?

“You know, it takes two to keep a relationship alive and healthy. Or, well, in your case, to bring a relationship to life.”

TFI Thursday ...

… because that means it’s almost Friday, right? The way the days of the week work better not have changed overnight …

[alisnhastings]

“I think we're safe.”

[emptylocket]

Exc-cuse me… But does anyone know where Long Beach High School is? I’m a little…lost.

[alisnhastings]

“Oh, I'm...not sure if there actually is a high school with that name around here, but Long Beach Polytech is near the CSU campus. -- If...that's the one you're looking for?”

[alisnhastings]

Why is it that guys hit on me at work, but I can’t get one girl? 

“I reckon it is because only roughly eleven percent of the world population are homosexual? -- Or, well, of a different sexual orientation than heterosexual.”

[alisnhastings]

It’s not gonna have an effect on me, Ali. I could win ten Grammys and I’d still be that one guy who sleeps on everyone’s couches and gets yelled at by their parents for smoking on the premises. Man-crazy teenage girls? What the hell are they gonna want with me, fashion tips? You’re fine, dudette. You know I’m going to be an irremovable fungus on your life for years to come. If it’d help you, I could share a few trade secrets, maybe let you listen to a demo or two.

“Well, I'd rather you crash on my couch than your own front lawn. I reckon that would be gold for the press, wouldn't you think? You'll have to get used to the idea that every other girl will believe that, despite the fact that you couldn't be any gayer if you tried -- I mean, Ryan, I remember running into you from head to toe covered in glitter one night! But I'm straying from the point I was initially going to make. -- Which is that some of them will believe they possessed the ability to turn you. Laughable, I know, but, well, fangirls.”

“One or another may actually come to you for fashion tips... Just promise me not to get me kicked out anywhere ever again. -- You know I'm going to blame you for New York until we're older than dirt and our wrinkles have wrinkles, yeah? I'm...I'm glad, though. What do you mean maybe, Ryan Andromeda Black?”

[alisnhastings]

I know very deep, deep, deep down you love hearing about it. 

“That love must be buried very, very deep, 'cause I have yet to discover it.”

[alisnhastings]

Well if you ever got time I’d be willing to hear it. Cali is pretty great, though I wouldn’t know much different.

CSU had the best scholarships for me. Came here and never looked back. I should have gotten myself a tutor but no, I was too cool for that. Ugh freshman me, ugh. Exactly. 

“If we ever find some time, I'd be willing to tell. Well, I grew up in a small town in the middle of nowhere, Michigan. My aunt actually lives in Long Beach, so I've been to the city once or...maybe twice growing up, but a short trip over the weekend isn't comparable to moving to California. Which was a huge change. And then came New York City, which is another completely different thing. I hope I'm not boring you with...my life story.”

“So you've always lived in California? Oh, you lucky little thing. Paying off my loan will bring such joy to my life. It has that effect on you, doesn't it? The city, the people. You just...move forward. Well, from what I've gathered you managed without one, which, truth be told, wouldn't have been the case for me had I not stomped my ego to the ground.”

Think about the first name you were ever called, and then think how long it took until you got called a pussy or a slut, or a bitch, or a whore, all of which are words that fall too close to ‘girl.’ Think about the first time you got called a ‘girl’ and they said it with a sneer. Like it was a bad thing. For a boy, it is the lowest degradation to get called a girl. For a girl, it is the lowest degradation to get called a girl. Remember, black widow spiders and female praying mantises eat their partners after intercourse. Remember, it’s the lionesses who hunt. They come back with bloody muzzles, dragging bloated carcasses as the alpha lion strides around with his mane puffing out. Remember, it’s only the female mosquitoes who drink blood. We’re the ones who do the necessary work, dirty our hands, fuck or fight or both. We’re often the smaller sex, which makes us a harder target as we slink close and sink our teeth in. You should be proud to be called a girl.

But Alison, I figured you hearing about this stuff practically tickled you pink. 

“Because it tickles you pink, doesn't mean the same applies to everyone else.”

The last time I hooked up with a guy was two years ago, and they aren’t too happy about it.  

“You really don't need to amplify your past sexual encounters for me, Lennon.”

[alisnhastings]

I’m gonna say it does, ‘cause I’m feeling pretty manly today. Well. As much as I get. Yes, yes, I know you’re madly in love with me, and I missed you too. It was awesome out there and everything but sometimes I just need someone who I’ve known long enough to slouch around and eat junk in last night’s stained clothes in front of.

“Well...”

“It's good to see your recent successes didn't change you quite as much. I'm, well...I really am hoping fame won't have much of an effect on you. I don't want to lose slouching around my butt all day with you to...crowds of man-crazy teenage girls. I'm a single child, Ry, I don't do well at sharing.”

[alisnhastings]

Yeah, they’ve only gotten the outer layer of Lennon. And yes, I am not involved in any relationships—however they do assume that I’ve got all the boys running after me. Ha. Ha. Ha.

“Wishful thinking, I assume.”

[alisnhastings]

It was that or discuss all the relationships I’m not involved in, as well as how “tall I’ve gotten”.

“All the relationships you aren't involved in? I'm not a hundred percent sure whether I want to know what'd prompted your grandparents to assume you're involved in more than one relationship at a time. They clearly have no idea who their granddaughter really is.”

[amourequilibree-blog]

While visiting my grandparents I opted for not actually talking and interacting, but rather to watch Keeping Up With The Kardashians. 

[alisnhastings]

“Why does that not surprise me?”

[alisnhastings]

Both good options to drop since they both suck a lot. Why’d ya come back? Columbia not nearly as cool? I understand perfectly. I’m from the tiny and quaint town of San Diego. 

I barely passed my gen ed math, it was so bad. Library it is, cause usually I’m in there anyway between periods napping. I mean studying. I didn’t say napping at all. 

“Cheers to that. Oh, Columbia was great -- academically, anyway -- but nothing compares to this part of the country. It's actually somewhat of a long story. Tiny and quaint, indeed.”

“And what brought you to Long Beach? Algebra killed me. I had to get off my high horse and find myself a tutor. It was terrific. Who said something about napping?”
