What is the meaning of the number 7?
Every time I post something my tumblarity drops.
You know what this means.
POST MORE!
Burn it to the ground, or something like that.

I cannot wait for winter.
I love the unbearable cold. I guess it’s actually bearable, at least to me. I can’t wait for the sky to turn that sort of weird blue. It only does that in the winter, and I can’t even describe the color, but against the snow it’s amazing. I can’t wait to put on my peacoat. I can’t wait to wear a scarf. I can’t wait for my fingers to be red and numb. I...

Music Seasons
I’ve come to the strange realization that, for every season, my music taste seems to fall into different corresponding genres.
Summer
In the summer, I typically listen to a lot of rock or poppy, upbeat stuff, and some folky, country-ish stuff: Elvis Costello, Lykke Li, Gillian Welch, Flying Burrito Brothers, Bruce Springsteen, The Felice Brothers, Harry Nilsson, Spoon, Bob Dylan (really...
I've decided:
There is nothing better than having jazz, cigarettes, and a liquor cabinet. Nothing.
Today:
My mother, my two sisters, and my younger sister’s boyfriend are all coming up to Chicago to visit. And help me install my A/C unit, although now I’m seriously wondering if I’ll even need it that much longer. They got a late start on the drive up, so it’s going to be another 4 hours before they get here. This means that I will be sitting here watching Rocky, and during...
Tumblarity is stupid.
It encourages unoriginality. It pressures you to write about profound topics. Sometimes I don’t want to write about love or feelings or heartbreak or music. Sometimes I just want to write about the one time I ate some really good bratwursts, or how I love cigarettes, or how my hair is constantly fucked up and I have no control over it. But no — if I don’t want my tumblarity to...
I can sense it, people.
And I really don’t think this is cockiness. I just have this feeling… This feeling that I will “make it” in the music world. I already feel like I have made it. I just have this immense sensation that it’s what I was born for. Fuck it, this is what I was born for — making music. It’s my purpose. It’s the only thing I really know how to do. I...

Justifying my obsessions
incline:
When I think about writing but don’t know what to write, my mind always goes to the subject of sleep. I’m certain I’ve discussed it before (here, with friends, in letters, etc.), but cannot stop myself from returning to it again and again.
I am eternally ready to alter my sleep schedule, to chug coffee and stay up all night just for the experience of being the only light in an...

Reblog with your favorite liquor/brand.
I’m adding to the liquor cabinet (yes, I have a liquor cabinet built into my apartment, how sweet is that?) and I want to try some new thangs. Plus I’m just curious.

I just wanted to say that you are an excellent writer, you have a great blog and we should chat sometime because you seem like a person I would actually want to hang out with from tumblr. Have a good night.
Thank you! I would totally love to chat sometime, but I don’t know who you are. You should shoot me an e-mail or IM me (if you’re an IMin’ type of person) — email is...

i want a cd of your lovely music. can i get one?
I cannot give you a physical compact disc, but my first album is available for free download on my front page. I also have a newer EP here. I will probably upload another album soon, so stay tuned.
Do you want to hang out soon? I’ll make you a mix cd and actually give it to you this time.
Hey Katie — yeah. Like I said, when I have...

What is your type?
I’m assuming you’re asking the type of girls I usually go for. If not, you’ll have to elaborate. At the risk of sounding like a picky asshole, I’m going to answer this question:
- I need the gal to be as smart or smarter than I am. When I have conversation with her, I want us to both know what the other person is talking about.

Who are your favorite tumblrs?
Honestly, I lose track. And I don’t like to play favorites. I’m following over 250 people, and I enjoy most of the posts that pop up on my dashboard.
Have you ever met Bob Dylan? If you still haven’t, and were given the chance to meet the guy in person, what would you say to him?
I have not. If I met him, I would probably just make horrible small...

I am terribly bored, so ask me stuff.
romance and other stupid stuff
As much as I value and love being alone, there are times, like now, when I don’t want to be. It’d be nice to know that someone cares about me romantically, as lame as that sounds. This feeling has absolutely nothing to do with desperateness, nor does it have anything to do with loneliness. I thrive when I am lonely. I am thriving right now.
I am not necessarily content right now, but...

It’s 4:17 in the morning. I am drinking a PBR, smoking a cigarette, and kind of bored to death.
This is the problem with being isolated and being kind of creative. You create something and then you’re bored. And don’t have anyone to talk to. So you check your email, which you’ve given out a couple times and have on the front page of your blog, and it’s empty. And...
