I show up at Sarah Heuer’s house and she greets me by saying, “Hi Becky, you look like a chola, let’s go work on that ponytail.” Jay Gabler is sitting on the couch drinking beer from a receptacle that is yet another new size that we aren’t sure what to call.

i was disappointed with existentialism when i read all those books in high school. i thought the whole movement would be like “fuck all prescribed beliefs. fuck ‘morality.’” instead though they couldn’t resist creating their own systems of morality.
