I don't even know how to phrase this question, but I'll try...

If you were to look at photos and listen to stories of a city you've never been to before, what kinda stuff would you wanna see/hear? I used to write a column called Istanbul Tales for our college zine, and I'm collaborating with my sister on a similar idea: she's going to take the photos, I'll write the stories, both fiction and creative non-fiction...

Any ideas are appreciated.





P.S. My mom playing Guitar Hero was awesome. Especially the part where she was head-banging to Metallica's "One."

Remember this?

Who would be willing to answer some questions about fictional characters they're in love with? It's limited to the ones in books, and I will be using the answers in an article I'm writing, hoping it will get published. Of course, I will keep your answers anonymous until the end of my life. If you're up to it, please do let me know so I can send you a word document with the questions by the end of the week.

It took longer than I thought because I'm working ALL THE TIME and way too much, but here it is. Fill it out, get your friends to fill it out if you can, and then e-mail me with the answers at neurotoxicdoll@gmail.com =D And don't be scared-- there aren't that many questions.

You can download the word file here.

Let me know if you have any questions, and THANK YOU.

P.S. Sorry, boys; this one's just for the ladies.

    You know how every day people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes, because we're all horrible people taking part in a shared consensus reality hallucination - 11-bit consciousness, or the black iron prison. The thing is, we've attempted to replace legitimate and generous living and communal sharing with this voyeuristic isolation exercise. Just keep pushing the button...keep pushing the button.

    Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.
