Umm, wait, what? →
This appears to be a photo of me that was found by someone on Tumblr and was used as a launching pad for some kind of legitimate piece on creating a Tumblr persona (there are sources cited and everything!). Quite bizarre.

YO EVERYONE ON MY FEEDS EVERYWHERE
Stop posting all this shit about the wedding with the tags, “this is the only thing I’m gonna post about the wedding,” or “this is the last thing I’m gonna say about the wedding,” or “I don’t care about the wedding, but for the .03 seconds I watched it…” YOU ALL LOVED HER DRESS AND THE QUEEN LOOKS OLD, OWN IT, YOU ANGLOPHOBIC SACKS OF...

On Defending My Country
Living in France and speaking French gives me an interesting opportunity to talk with people here about their generally held opinions on America, Americans, our multiple land wars, and our general political policy that I’m not sure they would feel as comfortable (or as able) to express in English. Perhaps subconsciously, they seem to have the impression (and understandably so) that if I am...

How To Properly Deal With My Pretentious Tangents
Me: I do love the south of France...perhaps not quite as much as I love the south of the US but quite a bit. There's just a certain southern mentality/charm that i appreciate in the south of most countries.
Him: Yeah, South Korea is definitely more attractive than its northern counterpart.

desalmada asked: God, people are fucking ridiculous over that Europe piece. I read it yesterday and agreed with every bit-- I would have prostituted myself to get a glass full of ice in Paris last summer, and the lack of AC everywhere stops being cute and environmentally friendly when you're sweating buckets on the metro and someone else's sweat is also dripping on you. And I'm not even American-- I...

Highlight Reel From the Rest of My Trip
A long conversation across a huge table with many people about the word “infatuation” in French. As it turns out, there is no real translation, but I got everything from “avoir le beguin” which is a very old-fashioned way of saying “to have a crush” to “kiffer” which is a very informal slang term meaning to like strongly. Both of which elicited many...

Day 1. The Middle of Nowhere     And so we arrive, around 11 PM, at a farm in more or less the middle of nowhere. Okay, well, it’s rather impolite to refer to any place where people have chosen to live as “the middle of nowhere,” but I’m pretty certain that even in France there is “flyover country,” and aside from being in more or less the exact geographic center of the country, this would...

Anonymous asked: How do you feel about your comments on TC? I mean the comments about your articles. Do you read them, or do you ignore them? TC comments kind of descend into LCD territory, if you know what I mean.

On Kissing By The Seine
A slight rush of nerves and oh, we embraced There under the lights, and under God’s gaze Where the Mario Karts zipped by in that maze Where the bull in the middle’s the city these days Laughing at things, at how hard we have tried Things that were far more in space than in time A cold weather pattern, a fabric too fine A shiver, a touch, a full glass of wine Was there ever a...

Mantreat Monday #2
As promised, this week’s Mantreat Monday is ON TIME and features, as I stated before, “A Brit so unbelievably handsome and charming, Hugh Grant looks like a toothless bridge dweller yelling at pigeons to stop looking at him.” And, without further delay, I present to you for your collective viewing pleasure: (Oh, right, straight guys—here’s Kim Kardashian’s...

Touch.
I debated for a while today about whether or not I would write about this…it seems at once so personal and yet, as with most things in my life, to not write about it would mean it would remain sequestered inside my head—festering and spreading, bouncing around from neuron to neuron, laughing derisively as I struggled to focus on anything else. So, here it is. On Saturday night, I got...

An Open Question To All The Ladiez On Tumblr
Of all of the Disney princes out there (and we’ll go ahead and include the few Dream Works pictures that most people identify as Disney anyway), which one could totally get it in real life? I know, I know, they’re cartoon characters—THAT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I want to know which one you would totally let take you to prom, if you know what I mean. In the easiest decision...
