New Years Eve
I want to live transparently, with my heart in my hands. I want to spend time making things and reducing the number of things I take for granted. I want a beautiful home. I had a dream last night about walls covered in beautiful art by all of us, and I want to make that come true. I want to be healthy and wake up early.

I spent this evening with my ladyfriends contemplating how much loyalty matters to me; how it’s this thing I hold in illogically high regard as though it was charity or genius or anything else actually valuable instead of something that might very well be just as destructive as it is precious, in the big big picture. But it matters so much to me among those I hold dear simply because my moral...

let me kiss you like a boy does
Here is the tracklist, in youtube video form, for an awesome girls from the nineties mix I made today for artistic reasons. Enjoy the heart tugging nostalgia, perfect hooks, unabashed sincerity, and fuzzy familiarity.
P.S. Though it’s been awhile, I am still sincerely confident that nineties girl music is the best make out music of all time — no contest, conversation over, it wins...

1000!
This is my 1000th post to ‘crazier than shirttails’ (in what I believe is the twelfth year of my blogging in one form or another, and the seventeenth month of this blog in particular) and, to celebrate, I would like to revisit some of my better moments in case you missed them:

summer anne's top ten albums of 2010.
1. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
If I collected everything I’ve written and said about Kanye West over the last few months, I’d probably have enough material for a book.
