DMX on DRAKE →
“I don’t like his f—-ing voice,” DMX admitted. “I don’t like what he talks about. I don’t like his face. I don’t like the way he walks. Nothing. I don’t like his haircut.”

she ain't a killer but she'd fuckin blow your head...
Hey, people that read this blog!
Um, so this.
Have a quick and very important question: WHAT DOES “GOOD BRAINS” MEAN?? Like, blowjobs? Good blowjobs? Or brains, like smarts?
I only have good one of those.
Which is it?

"So put on mascara and your party dress"
But I saw many poor whom I had supposed to live in affluence. Poverty has in large cities very different appearances. It is often concealed in splendour and often in extravagance.*
I’m in sort of a financial bind. And by bind, i mean… complete shit mess. LOOK AT ME, I’M DUMPSTER DIVING!!
So, I’ve had to start cutting back on things (Some of which I did not even know...

clean; squeaky
I know I’m - what? five, ten years - late here, but I just did this (I realize I’m writing about it so I shouldn’t be so pathetic, but I’m just going to refer to it as “this”) for the first time.
Like two hours ago.
In true mercedes fashion, there was no rhyme or reason for this decision. The odds of me getting physical with someone in a time frame that...

Ultimately, it won't last.
“Maybe you’re right, I say. Ultimately, it won’t last. Relationships end, affairs fall apart. But it doesn’t mean that one shouldn’t have them. It doesn’t mean that one shouldn’t fall crazily in love and live.
Passionate love affairs die hard. They convulse and writhe and agonize till the bitter end. But the bliss and the headiness of love is worth the...

Flashbacks of last night of a stranger ballin out.
Something else of great importance happened this weekend, and that is that I went to my cousin’s birthday party (and did not drink!) and ended up taking this girl home (…) because she was so drunk. And because a stranger seems to be the best and natural choice of caretaker for a completely wasted female.
On the way to my apartment she threw up on my Miu Mius and we had to stop the...

Nails!
I got a gel manicure (you may have seen it in the pic attached to the post about accutane, where I disclose that “I made out with someone in an alleyway”).

four figure jacket prices
I bought this really expensive (not four figures, please; but still), gorgeous Timo Weiland coat the first(/last) day it got cold in New York and it’s been so mild I’ve worn it less than ten times.
Here’s one time I wore it:

MISS YOU
Like the deserts miss the rain. Literally. I miss drinking alcohol as much as the deserts miss the rain. I miss you, whiskey; I miss you $2 wine from TJs; I miss you anonymous shots from anonymous men at bars (half of which I would have thrown on the floor anyway, but still: MISS YOU!!!); I miss you Modelo beer, which I only drink when I’m blasting Shakira and rearranging the two pieces of...

THE GIRL ON THE FRIDGE
Just read this collection of stories called The Girl on the Fridge by Etgar Keret.
They’re weirdly violent (not my fave. well… violent sexual intimacy), creepy, unsettling, and at times (simultaneously) heartbreaking and heartbreakingly romantic, but they all display a deep allegiance to portraying honest human emotion, regardless of how fantastical or dark the subject.
AND I LOVE...

I spaced out while answering this
if the only thing someone and i had in common was that we both understood it was mandatory that he “rarely or never” space out, i’d probably be in a really healthy relationship.

Anonymous asked: You listen to Lana Del Rey thus voiding all attempts at being taken seriously as anything. I also have grown bored of your "I hate myself, I want to be anyone's friend/boyfriend " followed by your bragging of your job and it's many benefits.

my worst idea
Guys, WHAT is good with OkCupid?
There are so many ugly people on there. I’ve seen hotter people at my local bodega… behind the counter.
Honestly, huge disappointment… even for my dinner experiment. It’s so supremely depressing and humiliating, the thought of people actually using this website seriously upsets me.
Anyway, I’m already bored.
Here’s my...

race to the altar!
HEY EVERYONE!
so… i just found out my ex boyfriend got engaged!!! i’m obviously super excited and happy for them.
consequently, i just smoked a cigarette, ate three cupcakes and cried into a plate of risotto in a packed restaurant (a restaurant that used to be my favorite restaurant (but is now just the worst place on the planet)) while my friend patted my back and our waiter...

a serious joke (/a seriously bad idea)
I’m going on OkCupid.
It’s a joke (I’m not that des!), so I’m not going to hook up with anyone (not that I would if it wasn’t a joke, I’m a huge prude. duh)… but times is tough. and a bitch need to eat.
Don’t get me wrong, I hate a man with money (as anyone who knows me IRL knows and anyone who reads the words I write on here should know) but I...

Is lingerie for hooks or kept women?
Cuz I’ve had boyfriends… and, like, not a boyfriend… but I’ve never worn sexi stuff.
I need to know, because usually I just wear these, and maybe this has been my problem all along.
Please advise.
Anonymous asked: Do you seriously think you're unattractive? lol. I just read the accutane post. Why? do you use photoshop cause I don't see shit, and erm you have freckles right? Your face is really nice. You're attractive. Really. Coming from a VERY attractive, model-like hot guy. That sentence probably will make yo think I'm unattractive, but nah, I'm pretty hot. SWEAR I AM.

Whenever I get really depressed, I remember that there was a grossly humiliating time when I thought I was dating (spoiler: I was not. like, at all.) a divorced father twenty one years older than me and he stopped talking to me after I slept over in his bed one time.
And I think, well, that was my rock bottom, so anything else is progress.
And that makes me feel like I have a LONG way to go in...

important thoughts on relationships.
I just found this box container thing of condoms that I’ve had since I was in college as a joke, that I have kept with me since graduation as a joke… and that I have kept with me since my break up a year and a half ago as an (unexpectedly very ambitious) in case of emergency.
And it just occurred to me how great being in a relaysh is because you don’t have to use these.

I've been waiting to talk about this for FOREVER
I have to go to the doctor tomorrow for my monthly pregnancy test and liver check (via blood test; see above) because… I’m on Accutane.
I didn’t want to talk about it until my skin cleared up enough for it to be like, omg weird. you’re on accutane? but your skin is so clear!! (which is what I (and you should, too) do with anything that is embarrassing: wait until...

Ray Charles to the bullshit
Someone unfollowed me on Instagram (Instafuckyou, am i right??) a few weeks ago and while I would like to believe I am above talking about it at all because of the amount of time that has passed, I am not. I am above nothing.
I don’t have that many followers (though! follow me, my thing is superbinx!!!), so it was pretty easy to figure it out.
I swear I’m not even mad - I mean, when...

Does anyone want to FaceTime???
Do you ever let video run in PhotoBooth when you’re just doing random stuff? Just to see what you look like in motion?
No? Yeah, me either.
Anyway, two hours ago, I took twice the suggested amount of calm pills (Calms Forte)(calmies, I call them) to calm me down so I could go to sleep. (I’ve been feeling really anxious lately (if anyone cares!)).
