Not Saving My Lip Virginity
mybiggestregretever:
My biggest regret ever is not saving my lip virginity for the boy I really liked. I carelessly gave it away to some boy I met at the movies instead of waiting.
[Female, 14]
Shit, I don’t even remember my first kiss. Lip virginity? WTF is that bullshit? Next thing will be hand-holding virginity, and then veils for all dem bitties because god forbid someone loses...

An explanation of those “Chapters”
The five chapers are a paper that I wrote about Tumblridontevenknowher.
The paper was assigned to be 4-6 pages long. Mine ended up being 14 pages long.
This is a real academic paper that i submitted to a real art theory professor
This paper got a B+.
The paper is empirical evidence that you can get a good grade on a paper that isn’t written...
Chapter Five : I Finished Writing This Essay at...
From the interview with Declan, it becomes apparent that even though he calls himself a craftsman, he treats his work more like art than craft. He is highly dedicated to his ideas, and experimenting with his media. Although it may not be a personal expression, or a purely aesthetic object, he is certainly considering a lot of things that would his define his work more as art than craft. It...
Chapter Four : The Electric Guitar as the American...
No one is immune to the power of the electric guitar. They have become the icon of what the American youth desires. Sex, power, rebellion. There’s no faster way in history to piss off an old person than “listening to that gosh darn rock and roll music too loud.” Remember that a million people blew a gasket the day Dylan went electric. The desire to play electric guitar is...
Chapter Three : Various Misquotations of the...
Up until this project, I had never really talked to Declan about his guitars. I knew that he made them, but I had no idea about his technique or drive to make them, or his intentions in making them. As I talked to him though, it quickly became apparent that he is more than the average hobbyist. Declan is a skilled artisan, and his guitars are just as much works of art as they are functional...
Chapter Two : The Legendary Mr. Ryan
I met Declan Ryan almost a year ago at an anarchist collective show space in Rochester, NY called The Flying Squirrel. It’s the upstairs of an old Elk’s lodge. My blog informs me that it was on January 15th of this year. Declan’s band Club Sandwich was opening for Algernon Cadwallader. I came to the show armed with a backpack full of Rochester tee-shirts I had screen printed. I...
Chapter One : I Dream of Top Shelf and Gnarly...
I was nervous about this second interview. I struggled for a long while to find someone to interrogate who could keep the interview engaging and talk about things I am interested in. I wanted someone who wouldn’t mire me so deeply in technicalities that I’d want to die. I wanted a voice that’s young and sassy, not unlike my own. I wanted to find someone who had a lot of...
I can't remember a worse December-

Top Ten Albums of 2010 - Oh goodness, I suppose it’s that time of year again. 1. Baths - Cerulean : The first time I heard Baths I was just like BUHSCUSE ME WHAT IS THIS?! and I was in love from that moment on. This album is flawless. There is not a single track that I wish was better. I also developed a case of the live show bias. I was fortunate enough to see Baths this fall, and I...
