#who i've always been

[ctgnami]

“Friends”

You're back at my front door

Asking if you could come back for more

We promised not to do this again

‘Cause you said we’d be better off friends

But I still let you in to talk

Convinced myself I could just walk

Away like I've always done before

I come undone again on my bathroom floor

We all know how this all ends

We always promise to be “just friends”

Before you come to me real close

And we all know how this story goes

I can’t be waiting forever in the wings

While watching you promise her your ring

And watching you promise me that you’re done

But you’re leaving once you’ve had your fun

‘Cause I'm the one who always stays

Every time she leaves you astray

“You're my friend,” you always say in a haste

But friends don’t know how friends taste, do they?

We all know how this all ends

We always promise to be “just friends”

Before you come to me real close

And we all know how this story goes

You lead me back up to your room

In the darkness, bright red looks so maroon

So many stop signs, you still pull me close

And we all know how this story goes

“I'm sorry, I can’t do this anymore”

I said as I left through your back door

Too many secrets, too many lies

I left while I still had my pride

It's not all just a game to me

Cried, “I love you, why can you never see?”

But this isn’t a rom-com, “the one”’s not me

I'm not the one there with you at the ending scene

And while you’re standing out her door and kissing in the rain

I'm locked in my room sliding down in shame

How foolish I had been to spend all that time as your “friend”

When I knew how your story ends

You and me, inside your room

Right before I met my doom

You kissed me as you broke my heart

‘Cause that’s how your story starts

I know that she’s your ever after

But I hope I at least get a chapter

Or a quote in your footnote

‘Cause I'm still here, your very best “friend”

Even though I knew how the story ends

You’re back at my front door

Asking if you could come back for more

if who i’ve always been isn’t on debut tv i will riot. i need to hear mid30s taylor singing ‘I walk in here with a beat-up case, the same guitar I’ve always played, and the verse I wrote down on a page when I was twelve years old and small-town raised’

[13forever-winter13]

this is not even a request, I know this is a fact, because this one belongs to that debut re-recording

Buddy, when racist cunts illegally prevented me from registering to vote by just refusing to accept my papers, I PROMISE YOU shitty guilt trip memes about my inability to vote made everything worse.

You know what ACTUALLY helped?

More than every passive aggressive shit for brains on this website telling me I deserve to me racially harassed for not giving Democrats my soul?

A fucking email from a fucking HERBS AND SPICES STORE that unlike you wretched cunts ACTUALLY HAD VOTER REGISTRATION HELPLINES IN IT.

Every time one of you godforsaken freaks tells me to 'get out and vote' like its cutely trivial and didn't take months of desperate phone calls just to register (IF my registration even WORKED THIS TIME).

If you, like me, are struggling with registration or poll access, try contacting your STATE board of elections.

Request that they send you TWO copies of their registration guidelines. Collect any documents listed in them.

Then, contact your LOCAL board. Tell them you would like to register IN PERSON IF POSSIBLE.

Bring your documents and the two copies of the guideline AND a working cell phone.

If you get ANY trouble AT ALL tell the local person you will call the state board to confirm their registration requirements. Be polite, but do not leave. Put the phone on speaker.

Most of the time, the local person who is doing Actual Serious Federal And State Crimes will give up at that point. If not, the person at the state board will generally outrank and overrule the local one.

Make a note of the names of both the local and state official.

Then, and this is the most important part:

CONFIRM YOUR REGISTRATION WAS FILED.

It may take a day or two for your registration to appear.

Unfortunately, if it's been a week, you're going to have to repeat the process.

Take the names you noted previously, and contact the state board again. Report that these people denied you registration on this day, in spite of you providing these documents, then list all the required papers you collected.

The person at the state SHOULD be able to direct you from there, but the process varies hugely by state.

Good luck to you all.

ETA: I was able to vote eventually, BTW. It took far more work than it should have. Physical injuries were sustained. But I did get to vote!!

Every Song Reminds Me of You

In a drunken haze, it felt like everything’s changed

Every love song on the radio, every love song from every show

Reminds me of you

I find you in every lyric

I find us in every verse

In every song, in every daydream

And it makes me feel worse

I'm up on a roof with a school girl crush

‘Cause I saw you across the room and my face felt flush

Soft smiles with longing glances

Same room at the same time, what were the chances

That I'd be here with you

And that one day, all my songs will wish us true?

so the good place is widely lauded on this site for its takes on morality and capitalism, which i totally agree with

but i think it should get more recognition for the line "all humans are aware of death. so we're all a little bit sad all the time. that's just the deal. we don't get offered any better ones. and if you try and ignore your sadness, it just ends up leaking out of you anyway. i've been there, and everybody's been there. so don't fight it. in the words of a very wise bed bath and beyond employee i once knew - go ahead and cry all you want. but you're gonna have to pay for that toilet plunger."

Must scifi be "good"? Is it not enough to watch David Tennant and Catherine Tate run about, yelling? and also a nonbinary transwoman is there?

"this female character is underdeveloped" TO YOU. I can read subtext and I know all about her backstory and her rich inner life. also she told me personally
