The worst music is always your parents’ and older relatives’ music-- because via second-hand, this music is an intricate part of your childhood nostalgia, a strange cultural familiarity, but you will never get a chance to live or access it. Every time I listen to the Beach Boy’s “Wouldn’t it be Nice,” I inexplicably remember UCLA and Carmel-by-the-Sea in the 1970s, which is a completely arbitrary setting from my dad’s youth that I’ve never been in. I will never live The Beach Boys ideal. How will I live with myself

OK it’s really slow at work so I’m using tumblr as my Thought Receptacle again, but like, yeah, my day-to-day fashion is REALLY prim and conservative and “classic”, I guess is the word, to the point where I can effortlessly blend into straight society and gay sisters can’t spot me. But holy cow do I EVER hate “classy fashion culture” so much. You can’t look up ANY resources on preppy/jock/Americana fashion without feeling like you’re getting a passive-aggressive lecture from the vice president of the your university’s chapter of Alpha Phi Pi, who’s also dating a Harvard doctor. “Remember ladies! Classy girls wear pearls! (: Just a reminder to wear gloves to church and don’t mingle with undesirables! If your skirt is 4 inches above the knee you’re doing preppy all wrong!” Cathy I just want to look like I play horse polo it’s really not that deep go back to collecting bean boots or something

it might be because I’m a native 2nd house sun, but every time the sun transits through my 2nd house I fall off the Frugal Wagon™ and turn into some deranged spendthrift like I'll blow insane amounts of money on stuff. last July when this happened I think I like.. bought myself a $150 tablet without batting an eyelash. Are you all making weird impulse buys rn can my astrology pals go in on this

Honestly Big Shoutout® to Korean and Hispanic-language music for still making electronica in the year of 2016 and giving me music I can actually dance to

Just saw the worst modcloth review of my life. This person said that they loved wearing a pair of caramel-coloured women’s oxfords “to work,” so as to be “gettin that non-heteronormative edge” [sic] Are Oxfords queering shoes now? Is it because it’s menswear? Listen to me. Oxfords are the shoe of the white, conservative male english imperialist elite. I wear them with the full intention of re-colonizing this country. I am reclaiming power from British lawyers. Don’t make this part of your weird game

not to be #patriarchy but I can’t wait until I get married so that I don’t have to scrawl my long-ass no-downward-loop m-n surname it RUINS my signature’s aesthetic

I understood from a bizarrely young age (~5) that conflict and flaws were needed in order to construct a cohesive and interesting narrative (on TV and, by extension, in real life) that allowed characters to grow and “learn lessons.” This is how you got child!me acting out in an intentional and calculated manner in order to emulate the character arcs of after-school specials (playing catch with granite seal so that it would break, lying my ass off about a bully and getting my own imaginary friend to sell me out, bullying my mother’s barbies whenever she played with me to the point where she thought I was some kind of low-level sociopath). In hindsight I think this explains a lot
