a girl that i loved truly madly deeply back in my early 20s got me a signed and advance copy of the cocoa puffs book as a gift. i'll never forget her devilish smirk she had when she saw me looking at it for the fist time like "i've finally nailed it". we were semi living together at the time. out of a weird sense of heterosexual duty i felt like i had to at least try to read it in bed so she could see that i didnt just fling it off the roof like the insipid trash i assumed it was..

ive been sitting here for at least a few minutes struggling to find the right path in describing how clarifying and deeply alienating it is to get a book like that as a gift from someone you're crazy about

The only books I want people to buy for me are more expensive versions of books I've already read.

Even if it's something that might be cool, my brain won't let me be interested in anything literary that someone else discovered. I hate it.

fvbtvs that story is like a shakespearean tragedy condensed into a single paragraph. but also totally hilarious? holy shit the emotional complexity.

Necrometer · Wed Aug 07, 2019 6:01 pm

Oops just now noticed that I meant to post that in the NWIOT thread

Necrometer · Wed Aug 07, 2019 7:55 pm

I am a bit comforted that you are not angry about justice being served re: your scoundrel friend

ghost boner · Wed Aug 07, 2019 9:33 pm

Oh dude. It's my favorite thing ever. His extremely horrible looking fat old gf made a GoFundMe too and it's just the best. I'll try and upload the screencap (to the correct thread) tomorrow

So stoked about both these stories.

also in the spirit of irrationality and chaos

my first true and longest love decided to tell me she loved me for the first time while squeezing my hand in a dark movie theatre during the opening minutes of 1998's Hope Floats starring Harry Connick Jr and Sandra Bullock

Have you actually lived the manic pixie dream girl lyfestyle??

I tried when I was a kid but it was just a nightmare, bailed within like 400 days.

How to Really Listen to Music

HAHAHAHA

Lyrics, Fast says, often drift in and out of coherence. In his slacker anthem “Loser,” Beck deadpans: “In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey / butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie / With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables / dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose.” While the words may not cohere into narrative, we get the emotional impact of their meaning: life sucks.

SaiyanZ is amazing and creepy. He's a fan of the Opie and Anthony show, which ceased to exist in 2014. He presents his content as a radio show covering the talent of THAT radio show.

There's a whole fucking subculture of these people. Without a doubt, the craziest and most malignant fan community I've ever come across - like, fucking forget about black metal or ICP. If those people find out about you, your life is over.

They make feature-length documentaries with genuinely impressive production value, which serve as like... comedic, trollish hit-pieces. They're like a terrorist sleeper cell who sprung fully formed from the comment section under a Ralphie May YouTube video.

Also kinda where the proud boys came from fwiw
