racism
Everything. Everything is wrong with it. Please, somebody post kitten pictures in comments? PLEASE. I AM BEGGING YOU.
music
I remember the crinkle of the plastic wrap on the very first cassette that belonged solely to me, instead of being something I'd "borrowed" from my parents.

media
If something exists digitally, I have probably at least tried to obtain it illegally.

As we've all been there once or twice or three times, can we at least laugh about it? Maybe a weird, sad laugh, like, "HA! Ha... haaaaaa."
rap
When this article was first conceived, I intended to make the argument that my love for rap is pure and therefore should be allowed to thrive unchallenged.
music
Once, in the dusty annals of my romantic career, a mix CD fucking moved me.

working out
In general, songs about clubbing and ex boyfriends makes me want to fill my ears with gum.
end times
Some people exercise. Some people get drunk. I listen to music.

halloween
In celebration of my seven-year period anniversary, my dad’s birthday (hi, dad!) and all things strange and Halloween-y, I’ve prepared the perfect creepy, crawly playlist. Join me as I recount MY LAST MENSES STORY, I PROMISE.

1970s
I will never have hair as voluminous and curly as Marc Bolan's, but I can try.
homophobia
Here’s the dirt on our bizarre one-on-one interactions over the course of two-days at the Wild Goose Festival, an outdoor Christian music festival claiming to be LGBT-inclusive.

First tip: Annie needs to accompany her. There is no other way.

I call this "the Reverse Cameron Crowe" because instead of the perfect music scoring the perfect emotion, you find yourself hopelessly mid-intercourse, listening to a something best suited to the deaths of major characters on medical shows.
music
I would say 90% of the music I listen to is “depressing” or at least “vaguely upsetting” and almost always in minor keys.
band shirts
Thrifted shirts are experiencing an uncool moment. But they're friendly on the budget, the environment, and your rack.
rihanna
Have I mentioned that I kind of like Rihanna? Have I ever casually name-dropped her in an article before?

the frisky
Let me ask you if that question would ever in one million years be asked about a young man like Justin Bieber or Nick Jonas or Taylor Lautner? Of course not. Because they are men. They and their man-testosterone are supposed to play the field.

amanda lepore
I've always been obsessed with the world's number one transexual icon -- so I almost died doing this interview! And I learned a ton: She goes to my gym! She used to have sex on rohypnol! Ketamine makes her hallucinate that her heels are breaking! ZOMIGOD, read on!
music
if you actually LIKE The Wiggles for real, then I guess that’s fine. That said, I maintain that you don’t need that shit.
pop star
I’m 36 years old now, at least 20 years older than the average new artist. I don’t think it’s premature or needlessly pessimistic to say it’s definite that I am not going to be a star.
