estringsgstrings replied to your post: privilege
Ugh. I want to suggest you write more, but I’d rather you have no reason to write this. Take care of yourself. The good news is, you’re probably going to kick ass at jiujitsu.
i feel the same way about your writing lately too - including the wish that you didn’t have a reason to write a lot of what you’ve written. but i find it brave...
i figured out what to do about this message...
estringsgstrings answered you:
What do you think about the Washington Post article “The new domesticity: Fun, empowering or a step back for American women?” (11/25/11) It seems like you’re totally into the domestic activities they talk about in the article! I find the social and moral sentiment behind the modern DIY home ec movement very appealing, but I find it also...

i’m going to my first jiujitsu/self-defense class tomorrow. jiujitsu was recommended to me because the starting spar position is on the back.
the doorman across the street and i used to be friendly in passing. once, he helped me hail a cab. but last week, he crossed the street to talk to me, gave me a hug, then asked about the food i smelled like. it probably wasn’t a freudian slip...

on being tired

happy lunar new year!
it’s the year of the dragon. wear red today.
psa to the strippers that follow me: you guys should celebrate and make sure your customers know it’s chinese new year! because the most important tradition of chinese new year is getting money!
all joking aside, i wanted to go home this year (as i do every year) but no time - the new year crept up on me. at least i called my parents!

i’m back at my family’s home in boston from pittsburgh, where a box of wine never left my side for long (advantage of letting one’s driving skills lapse in favor of bicycling - never being the designated driver). bota box, it’s no franzia. i managed my new year’s hangover well enough to run around in the hills on a balmy 40 degree day. i’m obsessed with hill...

10 joan didion (always wanted to read more of her, never found the bookshelf space); 2 china mieville; 1 umberto eco; one 944 page haruki murakami novel read in my typical manner - started today at noon and haven’t stopped, almost done; and the michael lewis collection of essays that he wrote on the PIIGS this spring.

I wrote stuff. On the internet. →
It’s pretty technical and maybe boring, if you’re not into that kind of thing (securities regulation).
Going to a very special place tonight.
