But in reality, rapists aren’t always the kind of person who gives you the creeps when you look at them. Sometimes rapists are attractive, or wealthy, or charming. Sometimes they are trusted friends. If this film...

what's ur damage?: Unpopular Opinion? →
I totally get the not liking partner thing, but I used it for Michael and me once we had been together for a while — I guess the problem was that we seemed like we were beyond boyfriend and girlfriend (for some reason this connotes less of a commitment to me — maybe that’s just my hang up), but we weren’t engaged or legally married.

Moved into my first studio apartment!
No roommates, no dorm-mates, just me. Kind of exciting, but very, very quiet. Pictures coming when I have it looking cuter/I can find my camera.
Also: moving on January 2nd in Minnesota = not as bad as one might guess.
