if i cant make my handle my full name then im going to veer severely in the other direction. id rather be known by some random string of words or a vague allusion to something i really like than a bastardisation of my name rife with disjointedly placed dots/underscores/numbers in place of letters. it makes u hard to find on social media but who cares? the chase is half the fun anyway.
my ig @ is adventuresclosetohome and every time i give that to someone at a party or wherever they ask what my schtick is. little do they know im covertly signalling to a group of musically likeminded insiders, iykyk!

enough of firstnamelastname usernames! think of something better, more innovative, more enticing…mine is lowercaserockstar which is from a line in kim gordon’s memoir. not to be pretentious or anything 😋

the lore isn't that deep buuuuuuut reading everyone's responses reminded me that, around the time i was 25, i read something about trolls and online communities, and how the best spaces are the ones where people feel accountable to each other. i think anonymity plays a big influence in that, so i use my real name online because i want to normalize doing so, and also because i want to reduce the distinctions between online eth and irl eth.

My last name is really long and often kind of unwieldy, if I call someone on the phone, it’s guaranteed they ask to spell it, so I drop the suffix and that makes things easier. That, and it’s my handle/name used for writing elsewhere.

was so so sad last night and found myself at the movies. started sobbing the moment i sat in the chair for reasons entirely unrelated to the film (although it was very sad). kind of relished in it though bc the cinema unlike buses/trains/cafes is like the only public space where you wont be scorned for crying. its the only acceptable place outside of the comfort of your home for you to sit down and have a good wail because everyone will think ur crying about the movie and no one will judge u.

a punk rock road movie by gregg araki about a couple that pick up a drifter. weirdness and chaos ensue. impeccable soundtrack and the costuming was waaaay ahead of its time. its like challengers on crack. one of my favourite flicks and was my teenage gateway into cool girl underground films. be warned though it gets pretty violent at times!
