Seriously. You have to wait two days to hear from anyone, no one knows what they’re doing, everything is disorganized. It’s shit. I’m just going along for the ride.

solo1y:
I’m not sure why you would expect Hollywood to tell you anything about the political situation in Egypt. But here’s the tl;dr - The president of Egypt is Hosni Mubarak. He is one of a large number of dictators around the world who are shored up by US foreign aid. He rules the country in the fashion beloved by these people, the familiar machinery of a police state. Emboldened by what...

You strike me as a city girl at heart. Or rather a...
No, I don’t think you’re wrong. The city is very attractive, with everything really close by and lots of different places to go. But there’s just too many people. And it smells. And it’s all concrete. I don’t think I could actually live in a city. Which is why I would want to live somewhere a little isolated by still be able to get to a city fairly quickly....

solo1y:
I keep seeing tumblr people complaining about Facebook, about their privacy controls, about their attempts to harvest your internal organs or read your thoughts. I don’t understand what the problem is. Facebook is a business, and they want to make their product as attractive as possible to their customers. Now, as difficult as this may be to hear and understand this, you are not...

I’m writing this paper about Alice Paul for my history class, right? Alice Paul was the leader of the National Women’s Party which helped give women the right to vote. And she’s kind of fucking hardcore. She would picket in front of the White House almost everyday for nearly 18 months. And when they arrested her she went on a hunger strike, but the doctors would force feeding...

How I write a paper.

2. Type my name, date, the class, the teachers name, the title and save.
3. Fuck around on the internet for a bit.
4. Open up the document again.
5. Type a sentence or two.
6. Fuck around on the internet some more.
7. Repeat until paper is finished.

I can’t believe I actually have to read status updates on Facebook about people complaining that they don’t know where to go for their honeymoon. Seriously? Your bitching because you can’t figure out what island in the Caribbean you want to go to bang your man? Fuck you.

Julie: THEY'RE PRETTY
solo1y: Well, have fun with your tree then.
Julie: YOU'LL SEE, YOU'LL SEE MY TREE AND YOU'LL BE ALL "OH THAT'S KIND OF PRETTY"
solo1y: I'm all like whatever about that.

Julie: and then i'll show you the tree skirt my grandma made BY HAND, ALL OF IT and you'll be like "AWWWW!"
solo1y: I'm sure I can manufacture a certain minimum amount of appreciation, if called upon to do so.
Julie: IT'LL BE REAL APPRECIATION
solo1y: It might. You'll never know.
Julie: it will...
Julie: this is what i do! this is how i work!
solo1y: Yeah. Let's call it "real appreciation".

Julie: pretty fucking well so far
solo1y: "Let's have a toast for the douchebags, let's have a toast for the assholes, let's have a toast for the scumbags..."
solo1y: Ah, Kanye. How you speak to me.
nathanonline: Don't say rape when you don't mean... →
nathanonline:
There are many things rape is not:
consensual sex
affectionate contact
a bear hug
a tackle
eye contact
an argument
a surprise
overburdening
an athletic loss
a neutral metaphor
There are only a few things rape is:
forcing sex on a person
despoiling a population or place
[a mustard plant or grape residue]
No one rapes your Internet connection, or rapes you in a debate....
