one of my problems is i have no shame and i never have. my motivation for getting clean is that heroin makes me miserable... depressed, anxious, and suicidal. being a junkie never bothered me until the drugs stopped working and started making me want to shoot myself. none of my junkie friends seem to have this…

i've gotten clean for 7 days (or longer) and relapsed soooo many times over the last 10 years. but i'm still hoping for a miracle. i've used in SF a lot too, but it somehow isn't as dark as portland is... portland is so drenched with heroin for me at this point. every fucking street corner where i've scored, every…

thanks so much! i have had 7 days at least 50 times, and always relapsed, but hope springs eternal and all i can do is keep trying. or kill myself. but right now i'm still trying. it is fucking brutal.

haha. i think one of my problems is trying to take on too many things at once, being a perfectionist, and being too impatient when everything doesn't get fixed right away as soon as i get clean (i've been shooting up for 10 years and have gotten clean more times than i can count, but it never sticks. here's to…

1. stay clean off heroin (7 days right now) (have been using IV on and off, mostly on, for 10 years so it's fairly hopeless but i'm still trying)

omg i have dark eyes and dark curly hair too and i thought i was the only one who thought jeremy sisto is fucking hotttt!!!! same with kit harington. and with my affinity for mental illness and addiction, sisto's character in six feet under was basically my dream date. i never would have left him like claire did. …

People used to mix up me and my high school boyfriend — from afar or in a photo, we looked identical. Same hair color/style/length, similar eyes, same face shape, etc. it was eerie. people also asked if we were siblings a lot — i looked way more like him than his real sister. he was the love of my life, hands down.…

People were upset that low income families might want to live in these apartments? That is pretty fucked up. "Let's build some (relatively) cheap apts in a really expensive city and then try to prevent low income families who desperately need affordable housing from living in our apartments — not because they might…

by Gawker, I meant any of the sites that are part of Gawker media. Jezebel has the same style(s) of writing, basically. Which I usually like.

The tone/style of this article is really annoying. Normally I like Gawker's conversational/funny tone and how each writer has their own voice; I guess I'm just not into this particular one.

I agree. People constantly complain about it... I don't see what the huge issue is. If people feel violated by FB, they can always quit.

First of all, THANK YOU for not calling out to women on the street. And I can't believe other men are annoyed when women don't, as you say, drop everything and have sex with them. I always thought catcalls were just a random expression of interest, I never thought the guy actually expected something from me. …

There are many things I know logically to be true, but that doesn't change the way I FEEL. Like, I know my BMI is on the low end of average, but I still FEEL fat. If I spill my purse on the bus, I know logically no one cares, but I feel like everyone is staring at me. I know my boyfriend loves me and isn't going to…

The "women hit their sexual peak in their 30s" thing has been debunked as a myth. Women hit their sexual peak in their late teens and early 20s, just like men. As a women, that's when I and my female friends were most sexual. Yes, as a 31-year-old, I still love sex, but I don't have the raging hormones I did when I…

I felt the same way you did, until I was working on a political campaign, and attending events with the candidate pretty much required that I wore heels... I found some 2 1/2 inch heels with a strap (like mary-janes) and practiced walking in them, and did fine at the events. I worked my way up so now I can wear glam…

That's an unrealistic solution. Log out of Google and Facebook? I use Gmail, so that means logging out of email every time I use it. I use Facebook multiple times a day, too. I shouldn't have to log out of those sites for Google to give me correct search results. The sky isn't falling, but this is an annoying…
