2 things happened last nite:
Number one, I got a free vibrator. The porn shop down the street from the Stork Club was giving them for free to any girl that came in to check out the erotic art. So I might have a ‘date’ for V-day.
The 2nd thing that happened is epic:
“I think Francis is going to be at this party.”
“How do you know?”
“I swear to god, I’m motherfucking clairvoyant.”
“Really?”
“I’ve told you before, I see things.”
“Sounds like a whole new direction for your blog.”
…
It seemed like a Wholefoods after-hours employee party. Was the ‘employee of the week’ there? I may never know. So of course, I told some girl my ‘Whole Foods story’: “I’ve never met the guy, I’ve said lots of dirty stuff about what I want to do to him on the internet, and he’s recently discovered this. You should read my blog.” Apparently, this was so funny ‘the story’ spread like chicken pox. Everyone was laughing, at me. One girl said, “You know, he’s kinda seeing this girl.” I don’t know. I don’t know the guy. At one point, some girl came up to me and said, “Hey, I heard you have a blog about my boyfriend!” She was all up in my face and shit. I didn’t know what was going on. I felt kind of ‘ganged up’ on. Then she said she was just kidding. It felt weird. Some bitches talking to my roommates asked, “Are you one of ‘the Francis’ girls? You know he’s gay, right?” I also want to add, most of the girls at this party were over weight.
Basically, I just know a bloggable meme when I see one: his name is Francis, he works at Whole Foods, he’s in a band, he wears glasses, and apparently, all of his friends think he’s gay. But this is just a blog. This is not real life. I just write some shit, and some people read it. This is not a diary. The blogosphere and reality are not compatible, I think. And I guess fat girls are bitches because I’m cuter than them.
At some point, I went outside for a cigarette, and Francis showed up. I had a brief awkward conversation with him about how awkward I felt. And then I realized, he’s just a real person with shitty friends. My fantasy is ruined. I Check you out while you check me out has lost its novelty. Bummer. Apparently, some bitches asked my roommate for my URL. Hell fucking yes you’re reading this.
Then I got kicked out. I don’t really know why. I think I hugged some chicks boyfriend, and that wasn’t cool. Woah. Weird people. Whatever bitches, don’t be a dick to someone that knows where you live. Seeya bagging my groceries at Whole Foods!

bro: ![]()
me: who is this
bro: one of your old bros!
bro: just another nameless face on your sex blog
bro: i find it ironic you’d blame me for giving you some STD, and you have a self-professed “sex blog” with dozens of dudes on it
bro: anyway, have a nice life
me: i got a bacterial infection from having sex with u, could happen to anyone. stop being hungup on me. I rejected u on fbook like 5x times. Get over it! U told everyone i gave u a noncontagious rash, u r a fucking weirdo
(It’s true, he sent me a Wikipedia link to some really gross rash, and he said I gave it to him. The link even said it was ‘noncontagious.’ and I didn’t even have any rash at all to begin with. He thinks bacterial infections are STDs, even after 2 years, when all this stupid shit went down. I’ve never had an STD, srsly, ‘knock on wood.’ I ‘play safe’ and follow ‘traffic rules,’ always.)
bro: i’m certainly not hung up on you, i don’t like you lying, and then making the details pubic. not very classy is it? that’s the point.
bro: it’s impossible that i gave you anything. no other partner has ever had anything like it, including my girlfriend of over a year.
bro: so, the only explanation is that you lied, blamed me, and obviously, i don’t appreciate that…
me: Youre a complete moron
bro: yeah? let’s compare notes here. you have a sex blog, you sleep with just about any dude out there, and then voice it on the entire internet.
bro: and i’m the guy that gave you the infection…
bro: doesn’t quite add up does it
bro: i wouldn’t give a shit if i didn’t hear about it from shannon and rob
me: They don’t like you, they think youre annoying. Thx for the ‘new material’
(They really don’t like him.)
bro: apparently a simple “i’m sorry” is impossible, and all you can do is deny it and call me a moron. very mature of you!
bro: all you’re doing is proving my point, you live a life where this is “new material” and rob does not think i’m annoying, i’ve known him for a decade.
bro: so, it was too difficult for you to have a reasonable discussion about this, despite being old news. that’s sad. i’m sorry for you, parisa…
me: Just dont care, youre annoying
bro: i’m sorry you don’t care, and i’m sorry that you feel so strongly over something that happened so ong ago, i just wish you wouldn’t act so immature. maybe one day you’ll talk to me reasonably about this.. until then.. i’ll stop trying to contact you
(Just don’t care like I don’t care what you ate for dinner last nite, like I don’t care what sports team “won the game,” like I don’t care how you brush your teeth, like I don’t care about the stock market, like I don’t care what’s on sale at the fish market, like I don’t care where Martha Stewart buys her underwear. Just don’t care.)
me: Youre just a story! You dont matter. Jeez. Thx for the new story
bro: you have to reduce all human interactions to fabricated “stories” for the internet? that’s really sad. i’m sorry for you parisa. is all the lying just because you won’t admit a simple mistake?
(Bitch, please.What lie? What mistake?)
bro: i’m sure you’ll copy/paste from this conversation whatever fits your little made up narrative about me. i don’t pretend that you’ll post the whole thing. i imagine you’ll just lie… again.
(I would never ‘censor’ anything from you, dear readers. this is the ‘whole enchilada. PS, I totally faked ‘it’. He said he could tell, but I fooled him. I just kinda wanted it to be over without being rude about it.)
so my name is francis and i’ve recently became a fan of your blog. would you like to have a drink soon? xxx.xxx.xxxx
(so we’re going out for a drink. and I am really really really embarrassed, and now he knows, because he reads my blog, apparently.)

Filed under: bitches, true love | Tags: cheap thrills, Jake Pavelka, reality tv, The Bachelor, true love
I watched The Bachelor tonite, like every other Monday nite. It is a true story about finding true love via reality tv. The Bachelor is Jake, a 32 year old pilot from Denton, Texas. He wears a uniform, and he is looking to ride the wings of love. A bunch of crazy bitches are fighting to win his heart, but there is only one girl for him. Today, there were only five girls left, and they all made out with him, and they all said “I really think I’m falling for you.” But Jake had to eliminate one of them, so he got rid of the virgin, because she was an uptight prude.
As they drove her to the airport in a limo, she cried. She talked about how she thought he could have been the one; she blamed the scheming other girls for talking shit about her. If thing were different, she thought, he would have been all up on her like cat hair on a lint roller. But Jake followed his heart, he always does, srsly, this reality tv is for true love, not cheap thrills.
On this blog, I want to take risks and blog about bachelors I may not normally date.

I am waiting for your arrows, one for me, and one for the man of my dreams. You have less than a month to make this happen. Otherwise, I will be Valentineless. And once again, I will be scouring the streets of San Francisco at 1 AM, looking for someone to makeout with. It would be nice if, for once, I could approach this holiday prepared, not with a bottle of Jack Daniel’s, but with a dashing, dapper devil who is all up on me like hot fudge on an ice cream sunday. It would also be nice if he had a winning smile, adorable dimples, a smorgasbord of witty banter, a plethora of useless knowledge about fascinating things, a knack for fashion, a villa in every exotic country, a private jet, and a pocket full of diamonds, but I will be flexible with the latter three items.
But most importantly he will know how to make me laugh, how to tug at my heart strings, how to get along with my friends, and how to be cheesy (romantic). He will be impressive with his accomplishments and inspire me to accomplish more. He will tell me stories about adventures I wish I could have been apart of. He will slip sentimental doodles and notes in my pockets. He will help little old ladies get off the bus and give directions to lost tourists. He will remember I like crunchy peanut butter best and my coffee with a splash of milk and no sugar. He will be my shoulder to cry on, my arm candy, my sweetheart, my knight in shining armor, my prince charming, my barrel of laughs, and my big spoon. So Cupid, as a belated birthday present, please make this happen.

It was 7 minutes till midnite, so I acted quick. As loud as I could, I proclaimed over the party crowd, “Raise your hand if you want to makeout with me at midnite!” I had a few options, but I was uncomfortable with all the choices except for one, my friend Vanessa. Out of pure, platonic, girl-on-girl, appreciation love, the clock struck midnite and I got red lipstick all over her face as other gentleman callers looked on coveting our new years affection.
By 1 AM, there was a heated sense of urgent desperation among the eligible bachelors in the room.
“You remind me of this rare South American bird.” He gave the Latin name for it and proceeded to pull-up a photo of this red and green mystical creature on his iPhone. It was a red and green drawing of a dragon. “So I remind you of a Christmas dragon?” While this conversation was happening, his friend was leaning forward blowing on my neck. “Are you trying to get my attention?” He said, “No, why would you think that?” Seeing as they were friends, they followed similar routines: thee old arm-around-the-waist-from-behind-while-you-are-dancing-with-your-friends trick. Which I responded to with I-am-walking-away-please-don’t-follow me trick, in vain. When it rains men, it pours men… little indistinguishably identical droplets. When it snows, every snowfake is unique. If only it would snow men.

We could stay in tonite, watch Home Alone I and II, drink hot toddies, and share a cozy fleece lap blanket. But instead you suggest we go ice skating downtown, so we do. We put on our thrift store holiday sweaters, scarves, hats, and gloves, and we set out for the cold nite, warm in each other’s arms. We wait in line patiently as moms and dads bundle up their anxiously excited children. We smile at them, wish them happy holidays, and tell them how cute their kids are. Once we are on the ice, we hold hands, you spin me around, and we fall over over and over again, giggling. I can see your breath in the still cold air; it makes me want to kiss you. If we could be fat together, we could rule the North Pole.
Sometimes we ponder about the consumerism of Christmas, but we agree in the consequentialist approach that the ends justify the means, and maybe it’s not so bad to give and get presents, drink, be merry, get paid vacation days, makeout under mistletoe, and drink mulled wine. It’s been the first time we’ve gone to the mall in a year. There are bright lights, ornaments, sale signs, and Christmas music everywhere. We think about posing for a picture with Santa together, but the line is too long. So instead I say, “You’re all the santa I need.” And you say, “Ho ho ho. Come here little girl. Come sit on my lap.”
Filed under: love, luv | Tags: 6th grade, adrenaline rush, crush, crushing, day dreaming
It was 6th grade; elementary school was over; I was 11 years old, and for the first time in my life, a boy in my class made me feel really nervous. His name was Ben. He was really into his mid-90’s haircut–parted down the front and shaved on the sides, skateboarding, and Nirvana. I wanted to doodle his name all over my notebooks, but he sat in front of me in class, so I couldn’t do that. I asked my parents for a skateboard for my birthday to impress him, but I was just awful at it. Sometimes, in between class, we would chat about grunge rock and ‘real’ punk. I made him the first mixtape I ever made a boy, but I never gave it to him.
He was my first secret crush, and the thought of him occupied the private tropical island in the back of my mind reserved exclusively for daydream vacations. While I’ve never been one for extreme sports, I seem to have always been addicted to the adrenaline rush of a crush, a surreally pleasant way to be distracted from the rugged emptiness of flavorless lovers and the humdrum placid day to day. Because a crush is hand picked, like fruit for its aesthetic appeal…
