I love Michelle Tea:

"I only cared later when i was tripping on mushrooms and this girl Iris said, You know, I really loved that bike, I knew it was going to get stolen and I just loved it... Oh Iris, you should have. If any of you ever see me treating something badly, carelessly, you can take it. Honest, it's yours."

"How do you make a girl know she's beautiful? What is the system for that, what do you show her, how do you give her a new set of eyes and turn her face back to the mirror?"

"I felt like someone stuck some awful inflatable toy under my robs and pumped it big and puffy until all the lungs and skinny highways of veins and all the tender nameless organs got crushed up against my stomach. I felt like I was going to faint or puke or cry."

I don't know why I love her so much, but it's probably because she blew my world wide open.

In other news. I love spending weekends in strange cities with my girlfriend. Oh, the hijinks.

I'm tired, and going to bed, and I love you.
