Tonight I was walking home from a friend’s apartment and a parking attendent for an empty parking lot stepped out in front of me and said, “It’s my birthday!” and I said, “Happy birthday,” and he said, “Do me.”
And on complete instinct I said, “I’m sorry I don’t have any cash.”
I don’t believe in love at first sight but I do believe in seeing someone from across the room and knowing instantly that they’re going to matter to you.

DiCaprio and Mulligan, meanwhile, don’t seem like star-crossed lovers so much as a delusional man in love with a bauble of a woman. Maybe that’s intentional?

People Magazine’s review on ‘The Great Gatsby’

When was your first relationship I feel weird that I've never had one?
Anonymous
I mean, I was 15. But that was too early for me to actually be committed to someone and that ended up being the downfall of the relationship.
It is never weird for you to not have been in a relationship. No matter what age. Also, don’t worry about judging what’s right for you based on what’s right for other people. That’ll just put undue pressure on yourself and those around you.
I just saw The Great Gatsby. I went through my tumblr because I remember distinctly the day I found out this movie was being made and I made a OmG!!!!11!!! post— that was almost 2 years ago. 2011. I have been waiting for this film about half as long as Gatsby waited for Daisy.
And after seeing it I’m just really feeling very… empty.
And I’m so excited about that.
I have a theory about literature and films and music and plays. I’ve written about the theory but I think it was a while ago, so really quickly: I believe that great art can leave you feeling one of two ways; very full or very empty.
When you’re full you’re listening to Let the Sunshine In at the end of Hair and it feels like your feelings are literally going to burst out of your body and make you erupt and when you’re empty Holden Caulfield is telling you never to tell anybody anything cause if you do you’ll start missing everybody and it’s almost like a pen drops because your head is totally silent except for that one… sadness. Emptiness.
The Great Gatsby definitely falls into the latter type of greatness. The end of that novel has always left me with a supreme emptiness. The lifelessness of everything around me is brought out by those words. I was worried that on a big screen there was no way to capture these empty people with their empty wants and their empty heads, but… But I really loved it.
I’m going to talk about the film now, so that’s going to be under a cut, read on if you like!
I made a video about the aftermath of the Boston bombing with some humor and perspective thrown in.
You know how I do.
I do poorly. That’s how.
I don’t believe in Internet angst. I believe in Internet motivation. I believe that even though I’m looking in the mirror and panicking that I’ve gained weight all the while looking at my filthy room and panicking that I have to pack all the while looking at my rumpled clothes panicking that they need to be ironed before tomorrow all the while looking at my alarm clock waiting to ring in four hours all the while looking at my bed longing to love me, but not quite yet… I believe that things are gonna be mostly okay.
Tomorrow something really great is going to be set in motion for one of my friends and it’s going to rain which means that it’s going to smell like summer rain. Tomorrow I’m going to buy a planner so my life isn’t so painful and I’m going to only eat foods that don’t make me depressed. Tomorrow I’m going to sneak Sperrys in my work bag so that I don’t have to walk home from the State House in my heels. Tomorrow is going to be mostly okay!
Internet motivation. Here’s to you if you’re ever thinking things aren’t going to be okay. They probably will be. At least if it’s not a good day for you, it was a good day for someone else! And that’s, like, either really comforting or really depressing depending on what type of person you are.
I’m working really hard on remaining in the group of the former types of people. Really hard.

This is all this day needed to be a good day.
I don’t know if you need this cat in your life as much as I need this cat in my life tonight, but look— it’s a really cute cat.
