"I cannot stand small talk, because I feel like there’s an elephant standing in the room shitting all over everything and nobody is saying anything. I’m just dying to say, “Hey, do you ever feel like jumping off a bridge?” or “Do you feel an emptiness inside your chest at night that is going to swallow you?” But you can’t say that at a cocktail party."

It is 90 degrees and hailing out and I have to go be smart about French feminist activist collective films in Chelsea and then go get drunk with Australian surfers (including newly crowned FIVE TIME WORLD CHAMPEEN Stephanie Gilmore, FIVE TIMESSSSSSS I am so happy for her) downtown and I have no umbrella and heels on.

Check her out on this barrel at Bells Beach in Oz. KILLING

"

I loathe when people think that I’m shy rather than introverted. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being shy, I’m just not, and they are two separate things. People cajoling me into social situations try to assure me that I “don’t have to talk to everyone” or that “everyone will love me.”


Bitch, of course they will like me. I am delightful. I just find prolonged social interactions to be extremely exhausting.
