I don't even try anymore.
Guy at bar I am flirting with: Yeah, I have a pet. I have a cat.
Wicked Drunk Me: A cat! What is it’s name?
GABIAFW: (sort of awkwardly laughs)…it’s name is Bitey.
WDM: BITEY! I have a dead possum named Bitey.
GABIAFW: You um, you—
WDM: HE LIVES ON OUR SHELF.

Hey guys, I have a question: you know what’s really fucking cool? Boston. Our fair city. Guess what happened here like two hundred years ago. Oh, you can’t, because you’ve never done the Freedom Trail? Okay, I’ll tell you. OUR FUCKING COUNTRY’S INDEPENDENCE WAS FUCKING FOUGHT FOR HERE. NO BIG DEAL. A bunch of raggedy-ass farmer-soldiers took down a shitload of red...

It wouldn’t be the first time or anything, but I AM alone, which gives it an air of “Hey, maybe you’re a mess,” which is probably not helpful to really anything that’s going on in my life. But I’m drinking this really, really good pinot noir, (thanks, kind of upscale Ball Square liquor store) and I usually hate pinot noirs. And it’s pouring out, and...

JP Licks, Davis Square, 8:30 PM
I was walking from Davis Square back to my apartment today when I saw my friend Hing, sitting on a bench, eating an ice cream. This kind of thing has happened non-stop since I moved here. I knew, logically, that this would happen. It’s a pretty tiny neighborhood and everyone I know who lives here (there are a lot of people. A lot.) lives within ten minutes walking distance from me. So I...

Spring is for breakups (everything else is changing, why not this too!)
Summer, for sluttiness (it’s too hot to cuddle/have emotions! but not too hot to MAKE OUT ALL OVER ALL THE BARS!)
Fall is for casual dating (let’s go apple picking! let’s observe leaves and their colors! jack-o-lanterns!)
Winter is for LOCKING THAT SHIT DOWN AND SNUGGLING. (obviously)
I’m falling...

Harvard Square, July 2, 10:40 PM
Emily, Phuong and I were on the rooftop at Daedalus in Harvard Square, and we were drinking and telling stories and getting generally rambunctious. A bachelor party came and sat down next to us and introduced themselves. I’m still not totally clear on this, but it seemed like half of them were from Cambridge, and half of them had gone to Harvard with the bachelor, who had both grown up in...

The popular Tumblr writer queued up fifty posts before hanging himself on the first nice day of spring. As his wife worked up the courage to call the police, his followers read an Odd Future think piece that so deftly and intelligently got to the root of the O.F. Problem that Tyler decided to…

Two journalists tell stories from the Golden State using photos, video and audio. Beautiful. My favorite, so far, is about the Silicon Valley guys who have a fight club.

Evidence? Why, sure. Here are the events of my past week:

This article is potentially worth 30 minutes of your time. I thought it was exceptional, but then again, I kind of love this kind of stuff.
I found this very stressful to read. That is probably not a good sign.

Just history repeating. Remember when snap bracelets were all the rage, and then rumors started swirling about how some kid slit his wrist with one or something along those lines, and then boom, banned from school.
