He's not a rapper.
Granted, it's not exactly the biological imperative that makes her love you. Lots of parents couldn't give a shit about their kids! Also, you could look at romantic love as a kind of biological imperative as well...
In conclusion, yay for Valentine's cards! #Groupthink
You have a garter, right? #Groupthink
I think that his side of the situation is a little irrelevant, since being in touch with him right now would cause you pain. Sure, I can understand his side, but I think it's legitimate for you not to be in touch with him until it doesn't hurt to see him and have him tell you about his feelings.
I say try to move on for now, and if he ever comes back around, it'll be a nice surprise. But don't expect anything. Even if you get back in touch, make it a friendship only unless you're both sure you want to be in a romantic relationship. Only go back to being in touch if he wants to be friends, or if he wants to be together. None of this in-between shit (if it hurts you to be in that in-between place).
I think you're very emphatic and sweet for trying to understand him, but the important thing to take care of now is how he's making you feel. If the answer is "not good", cutting off contact is the right way to go - it's not personal and doesn't mean you don't love him.
I think it's implied that they want to go to the concert [and not be bombed and die].
I have started answering OKCupid messages with gifs.
Predictable - she was obviously inspired by Elinor Aharon's faaar superior performance [www.youtube.com]
Mark was the worst. #Groupthink

I see what you mean - I just think Lana's an interesting persona to watch and I enjoy what she's constructed. I think you and I simply enjoy different things about pop songs. Literally every female pop star has a super-sexualized body, but in Lana's case she focuses on the melancholy of becoming this pop object, while an artist like Beyonce focuses on the "empowerment" and happiness/strength that comes from her position. Lana never looks happy being objectified, while Beyonce owns her sexuality and relishes in it. I find that both personae have a place in the public sphere, and I'm not actually sure which is more problematic (probably Lana's, but I'll have to think about it more).
Lana may not present a feminist image, but I like her just like I like listening to torch songs. Passivity and weakness, to me, have a rightful place in our culture.
I agree that this stuff isn't for everyone, though.
I like Lana. The term "authenticity" needs to go away. I am also obsessed with how the subjects / lyrics of her songs actually comment on her public persona. "Video Games" is all about becoming the perfect appealing object for your lover, and the title "Born to Die" is basically what she did in the public space! She was born to die [on the Internet]. I love it. Good textual/extratextual connection.
I could now talk on and on about the problematic need for authenticity in the indie world, which ineffectively tries to rebel against capitalism all while the indie scene operates in a wholly capitalist system, and aaaah.
I don't know; I find her focus on passivity super-interesting and affecting, especially with her public persona. I think that writing songs about being a passive object doesn't necessarily have a bad message. Artists are manufactured objects, and Lana comments on this, while artists like Rhianna and Katy Perry do not. I feel like the sad images of Paz de la Huerta drunk in "Video Games" show that Lana is trying to comment on the "object-ness" of female pop stars, and to me, that has way more meat than other pop songs. I like her!
Whaaaat the guy from Catfish was involved in this. What does it all mean?
Until the US government starts subsidizing produce instead of corn and cheese, none of this will change. Put your money where your mouth is, government!
I don't understand why this website isn't a safe space for all my feeeelings. #Groupthink
Not silly or a TV show, but I remember something like this in the movie Contagion. #Groupthink
Debbie Downer moment: I still don't think he's hot. Sorry, Neville! #Groupthink
Whaaat I love Timeline. I think it's pretty! #Groupthink
I love the Architecture buildings! Especially the library in Battle Hall! *swoon* And the Home Ec building is beautiful. I miss that campus.
Did you go to UT? Or does this happen at other places?
