In a strange roundabout karmic sort of way, I know I’m at the height of my elaborate scheme of fakeness when the word “real” is used to describe me.

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you, the 2012...
Michelle Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)

On the word classy.
bonjoursex:
As women, we are often told to “have some class.” This word has always irked me because it basically means, “Wow, look at how good she is at being a lady the right way, the socially acceptable way,” which is a weird fucking thing to say.
Classy means having or behaving like a higher-class member of society, amirite? Who inhabits this higher class, usually? Straight, cisgendered,...

Love, perhaps, is nothing but the convenience of timing and geography. Who comes closest first, who comes closest last is all but a great black comedy. In the great space of coincidence, it really is not about the race but about strings of fate that mock us.

It’s not that I’m upset that I don’t have a man to marry or a man who wants to marry me. I’m not worried about it. What I’m unhappy about has nothing to do with us but the fact that he does not deserve any of that happiness that fell around him and he grabbed it like an opportunistic bastard.

How many minutes of an hour of a day will pass before I stop feeling sorry for the remnants of our relationship that didn’t materialise? How many minutes of an hour of a day can pass before time stops being unbearable?

Some days I forget what it’s like to fall into the arms of another man completely tired and helpless. I forget how easily the burden melts into the bones of the other.

And today I remember.

I remember a year and a half ago I could barely stand that night because my knee gave way. In the car, under your house, in your shoulders. And that night we spent eating supper and suddenly it felt as if we were in the early stages of getting to know each other again. The painful part about being away and separation is that you think it clouds your vision, but it’s actually more acute than...

It’s always interesting to talk to people with major relationship problems. It’s the revelation that you’re not young anymore and it’s no longer teenage love problems. We’re talking about divorce. We’re talking about children and the people that get left behind. We’re talking about law. Maybe there needs to be the understanding that a marriage, if it ever...

I subscribe to Hemingway’s “write drunk; edit sober” mantra. It’s so much more painful to consciously reread the shit you wrote when you were drunk on love or sex or anger.
