  • [GIRL FRIEND]: So he says, "I just want to have sex with you one more time. That's my big goal for the week. Then I can move on."
  • Julia: Whoa ... dude, THINK it. Don't SAY it.
  • Julia: "Denial and dishonesty should be front and center in relationships and breakups. Dating advice!"

There is (almost) no high as relief-filled as finishing a really solid first draft.

Julia: “I’m a writer, remember? Don’t forget the point of all this whoring! It’s getting my writing out there. Getting my writing out there. Getting my writing out there. Getting my writing out there.”

Tuesday morning ruminations

juliaallison:

There should be a “It’s not complicated! I’m REALLY SINGLE” status option on Facebook.

Julia: “ALOOOOOOOF!!!! NOT DEEEEEEEEEEESPERATE!!!!!! JADED PHAAAAAAASE!!!!!!!!”

juliaallison: She’s a fan of the new pink slipcover. Me? Eh. I should’ve stuck to white. Julia: “I AM GOING THROUGH MY JADED PHASE!!!!!111!@”

“ Who has not practiced this form of alchemy, converting painful experiences into interesting stories, entertaining anecdotes, cocktail party banter?

- Elizabeth Wurtzel, Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women

Do other people do this?  I call it AFA (Anything For an Anecdote)

(via juliaallison)

Julia: “Elizabeth Wurtzel seems like the right person to be taking personal advice from.”

juliaallison: Smugratulations gayelles! Seriously, Portia is FUCKING BEAUTIFUL in that amazing princess dress. I want I want! (thank you, once again!! to singlescoop for this.) I’m in full agreement.  Portia’s pretty much wearing the dress I would have dreamed about wearing one day (circa 4-5 yrs from now), if I had more creative wedding-based dreams. Julia: “I am soooooo aloof and not desperate, I don’t even want to get married until I’m THIRTY.”

juliaallison: I am significantly less so than I was a year ago. I think this trend is unfortunate. Julia: “Sighing and lamenting unendingly about how sad my lack of emotion is does not count.”

juliaallison: I shot this photo last August in the Hamptons (I think this was … South?  can’t remember.  somewhere near Ricky & Jake’s) I haven’t visited at all this summer, because I’ve not been able to justify taking a weekend off.  I still can’t justify it, btw, which is why I’m feeling very guilty that I’m going up tomorrow. That said, I’ve spent approximately 0 minutes of quality time with one of my favorite college girl friends - ironically, named Meghann (two n’s) - pretty much since I started at Star last July.  So we’re driving up tomorrow (along with her roommate and another friend) to go to Polo, and a few parties, etc. Part of me really feels like I should stay home and work!  The problem with a new business is that the To Do list never ends. But another part of me knows that I need a break.  I’m exhausted, mentally and physically … I just wish Meghan & Mary were coming!  I’m totally co-dependent now. Julia: “It doesn’t need to have a business plan to be a business!”

maryrambin: I emailed my intern to please start myspace and facebook pages for me. She responded: hey mary,   i guess julia didn’t tell you…she had me make you a myspace already :) www.myspace.com/maryrambin Thanks Mom! Mary: “Social networking and frivolous interns are the new hot trends for fall!”

Mary: "'Have fun at your day job' is suuuuch an awesome insult coming from me."

  • Mary just called me from a party, laughing hysterically. Apparently, this is the conversation she just had (BEST. AWKWARD. PARTY. CONVO. EVER.) -
  • Girl at Party: What do you do?
  • Mary: I'm a blogger. I work for myself.
  • Girl at Party: Just don't be Julia Allison about it.
  • Mary [starts laughing]: Actually, she's my business partner.
  • Girl at Party: Oh no, you're not a part of NonSociety, are you?
  • Mary [laughs harder]: I'm one of the founders.
  • Girl at Party [turns to host, totally serious]: Who are you FRIENDS with??
  • Girl at Party: [drunken laughter] my best friend is James, he did NomSociety.
  • Mary: We love that video.
  • Girl at Party: Well, yeah, I love Gawker, oh shit, I'm sorry.
  • Mary: Have fun at your day job. Excuse me, I have to make a phone call.
  • <br>
  • I added a few more details. This chick was hysterical. She tried so hard to be nice, but she was too drunk to be strategic. It's the best party conversation I've had in a long time! Rach, your birthday was the best!!
