I am eating actual cupcakes! 8 of them! And I'm mouthing the words to one of the best songs ever. You can deny the song? You sick. You can't deny the song.
I'm sitting here in two hoodies and a freakin' Defamer shirt. I felt like a dork wearing it when I worked there and now I'm feeling pretty passe. Holla.
It's right here. If you're reading this in Google Reader, there's an option to download it.
Also? Just realized I smoked no less than 40 cigarettes yesterday. Ballin'.
Yesterday I packed up a part of my life. I'm trying to move on from it.
I suppose it's a common feeling when something that was routine, even if it was exhausting and sometimes cruel, to feel like you're flailing and out of control when it's finally over. It's like when you break up with the worst boyfriend ever and you hate everything about him but still have no idea who to call when you have news, so you call him instead of allowing yourself to feel uncomfortable. It's like a bad habit or maybe even a vice.
I know I'm going to be fine, but right now I'm mourning something that was a big part of my life and yeah, it totally hurts. A whole fuckload.
My most favorite Defamer commenter (I can be open about that now that I'm taking off. Big ups to all my loyal ladies, but you know that I'm the kind of sentimental chick who loses her shit over a witty man) Old_No_7 also has a fantastic Twitter situation, so you should follow him.
He reminds me of my really angry high school boyfriend who said he was conservative, but he really just hated people who were different than him to the point where he was basing his politics in his fear of the unknown. Look, we don't need to get deep here. He's a funny version of that jerk. I guess that's what I'm saying. Ugh, no. It's not even like that. Listen, man... I don't know.
Anyway. Yeah. OK. Cool.
1) Two high-fives for anyone who knows what movie I got the title of this post from.
2) Uh, hey... Webshots? No lies? The email you sent me last night feels a little flippant given the particulars of my current situation. Jetting off to foreign locales? No. They invented Flickr a few years ago and I got canned from my job on Friday. Your assumptions are a little bit offensive, to say the least.
4) Here are some pictures that I pulled off my camera. Just guess where I took them and what they are of. Your guess is probably as good as, if not better, than the truth.
5) Lastly and most important: To everyone who wrote me emails or sent me messages or joined Vox to comment on my post or whatever to reach out to me during what is a pretty sad time for me in a lot of ways: You're awesome and you don't know how much it means to me that you care. I'm gonna be alright and truth be told, it's been pretty clear that either Gawker or myself needed to make this decision for a hot minute now. I have been pretty visibly tired of this particular grind for awhile and part of me wonders if I sabotaged myself because I didn't want to make the break on my own. I worked there for a over a year (which in some ways is a Gawker lifetime) and I was a fan of Defamer for years. Working for Lisanti was a complete honor and having the opportunity to work for a site that I personally enjoyed so much felt like I was living beyond some of my dreams. Of course, I never expected to be caught up in the blogging world the way I am which is why this also isn't completely devastating. I don't have anything solid planned out in terms of paying my rent in December, but I have two things going for me in that department: 1) A heck of a lotta drive and 2) Complete shamelessness. Those two things considered, I know I'll be OK.
But thanks for reaching out, 'cause it's validation is my favorite color.
I don't know if I can handle this show anymore.
Ed and I have been listening to this song a lot lately.
I am afraid Susie Feldman is going to find me and kill me.
ISO the next MOLLY MCALEER
