I was born in New Orleans, lived in Tucson for 11 years and wound up in the best city in California. Attended a university in the U.K. My idols are those who write books that make me feel something. I am a fiction writer. I also write about music. I feel most like myself in Moe’s Bookstore with a large coffee in hand. I write in my head before I put words on paper. The first book I ever read that I refused to put down was the biography of Eleanor Roosevelt for a third grade book report. The first song I ever loved was, “Space Jam.” I read more than one book at a time. Wearing knit hats makes me feel mysterious and I like going to the MoMA for hours with my friends. I could live at a music festival as long as I had a Moleskin with me. Claire. 22.

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The delivery man came to my door and i said i had no money to pay for it but he just smiled slyly and said “oh I bet there’s some way you can pay for it”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;“There’s two types of people in this world - people who ‘like’ pizza and people who love it. I happen to love it, and I also happen to love Josho’s pizza. Quality ingredients, brick oven style. About it. Only problem was that the delivery guy skated to my place..to each their own I guess. Mazel Tov!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

A couple of you, whom I&amp;#8217;ve actually become friends with over the years, have even texted me. Thanks- I never expect to be noticed when it comes to a weakness and I appreciate your concern. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lately I&amp;#8217;ve been doing better. What I&amp;#8217;m about to share is hard for me to talk about, but (like I have for the past three years) this blog is a mirror for me to practice being &lt;em&gt;truly &lt;/em&gt;honest. It&amp;#8217;s the one place where I don&amp;#8217;t feel so guilty self indulging. &lt;em&gt;You&lt;/em&gt; choose to read what I have to say- I&amp;#8217;m not the one coming to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;  I had someone tell me recently that I use honesty as a defense mechanism. My heart shattered a little bit 1) because I don&amp;#8217;t like being that vulnerable with anybody and the idea that they could see past my bull shit terrified me into silence 2) they were right. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; I&amp;#8217;ve been doing better since I started taking the medication. My mind doesn&amp;#8217;t race so much, my mini panic attacks have subsided from almost 3 a day to only 1 a week (which is a huge relief), and I&amp;#8217;ve been sleeping more. God, this is hard to write out. I don&amp;#8217;t like admitting that I have a problem.  It makes me feel weak and vulnerable. All I want is for someone to care about me past the point of me feeling guilty for taking up their time. The more I care about you the more I look for ways to escape. The more I care the more insecure I become that they&amp;#8217;d actually want to hang out with me. I can feel how stupid this is, yes. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today that dark comfort of sadness is starting to creep in the corners of my mind. Fraying my memory of today at the edges like the old photographs I collect. I&amp;#8217;m scared to post this, but I need to for me. I need to look back on this in however many years and say that I took the first step. I hate this guilt for feeling this way, even though I know it&amp;#8217;s not my fault. I feel guilty for almost everything. I also hate admitting that I need people. I do, though. I need them right now. I&amp;#8217;ve done so much this semester to try and help myself, but I still feel like such a failure. I don&amp;#8217;t have a job. My grades are not what I wanted. I&amp;#8217;m scared no one will write me back about writing for a blog this summer. I&amp;#8217;m nervous for this fall and all the work I have to do. Worst of all, I fear that I&amp;#8217;m one of those people who&amp;#8217;s all talk and no action. I don&amp;#8217;t want to be that person.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Emotional word vomiting done. Time to take a nap before studying. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://iwishicouldapparate.tumblr.com/post/50937594708</link><guid>http://iwishicouldapparate.tumblr.com/post/50937594708</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 18:02:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>itsherfactory:

The city that never sleeps, yet people are always tired from the labor required to survive there. It was a place that only called to the ones worth knowing and those who wanted to end there when it was time to go. This labyrinth of denial that Fay and I seemed to always be chasing after was also chasing after us. It fed on our attention and reliance that it could be, and would be, everything we wanted.
