This morning I went to work, was told my position had been eliminated, and I returned home. That’s the conflict presented in a romantic comedy where the quirky girl sets out for another coast to start a designer bead store, but not for me.

What I want to do with my life, is…

Trevor, everyone, this is what Awesometown will be. It will be everyone you like, living together, creating a town they want to live in. LET’S GO THERE, ‘KAY??

P.S. Someone needs to get that cat away from the edge because that doesn’t seem safe to me.

(i’m going to be posting about this so much this week. i’m both sorry for possibly over-promoting and also not sorry because i’m really excited!!!)

some of you are obviously already familiar with videogum and gabe delahaye. you guys can skip this if you want. this is mostly for people who aren’t familiar with either. bye! see you guys soon!

for those of you NOT familiar with videogum and gabe, it’s a syper funny pop culture blog, written by gabe. videogum is one of the most consistently funny things on the internet and that’s entirely because of gabe. i know it’s not very cool to be a huge fan, but i’m just a huge, unrepentant fan of gabe’s writing. he’s just really, really great at what he does. one of the most remarkable things about him, and about videogum, is the insanely tight-knit community that has formed around them. again, i attribute that to gabe and his ability to create a sense of exclusive inclusivity, where everyone is welcome to join this smart, funny community of inside-jokers. everyone wants to be part of the group, and everyone can, because the commenters are also, almost without exception, really, really nice. it’s pretty special.

so, perhaps you can imagine my surprise and fangirl barfy-excitement when gabe emailed me and asked ME, of all people, to be the guest blogger for a whole day, while he’s out of town. A WHOLE DAY. ME. what? why? how? who? me? why?

this might not be the biggest deal to some people but it kind of is to me, and i am probably OVERLY concerned about doing a great job and not being a disappointment. partly because i want to impress the other monsters, and partly because i don’t want to make gabe regret asking me, i’m spazzing out a teensy weensy little bit. i’m sure some laid-back dudebros were chosen and were like, “sure. whatever.” i am not that dudebro. i’m super excited to have been asked and taking my responsibilities VERY seriously. i don’t write until friday but i’m already getting started, drafting and practicing and stuff!

so, please come read the site on my day. you don’t have to comment if you don’t want to, but you totally can. it would just mean a lot to me if my non-videogum friends and family were sharing this success with me.

also, definitely check in during the week and read the other bloggers, too, because they’re all VERY funny. and read lots of the stuff that gabe wrote, too, because he is like a giant laughter tree and we are little joke mushrooms, growing happily in his shadow. (what? i don’t know. i’ll get better by friday, promise.)

I have always admired people who committed whole heartedly to one specific scene or look. What happens if a goth wants to just go to the gym? What if a vintage person just wakes up and feels like wearing their fuglies? Do punk girls ever want to look really soft and pretty? HOW DOES THAT WORK??? For whatever reason, I was never able to make myself get that enthusiastic about any one scene, but I always thought that the people who did were pretty cool. 

Like this guy! I find the steampunk scene to be equal parts marvelous and cringey, but I wholeheartedly applaud this dapper gentleman for fucking GOING FOR IT.

very important scientific research at work here. totally official.

“very science. very research.” - gabe delayahe

(p.s. i’m a european showerer - i.e. filthy - and i am gratified that “science” is continuing to back up what i intuitively knew already. stop bathing all the time, weirdos. stop washing your hair so much. just let your body be the way it’s supposed to be. all your washing and shampooing makes you need more washing and shampooing. you’re just doing what The Man wants you to do, to buy more products. OPEN YOUR EYES, SHEEPLE.)

amazing.

ah, the good old days! let’s definitely try to get our country closer to ye olde late 1700s, when life was simple. (oh, it was simple because only rich white men were allowed to make any decisions. so simple for everyone else, right?)
