about me: i'm a punkrock slut bitch dyke cunt whore. no really, i am. i love porn, rocknroll, sex with strangers, graffiti, guitars, horror movies, weed, booze, sex education, riot grrrl and meeting other grrrls who are fucked up and proud of it. i lovelovelove zines by grrrls. they have saved my life, literally. a lot of fucked up things have happened to me in my life, including childhood sexual abuse (incest), and physical violence at the hands of random men. i've been incarcerated in psych wards, i have been pathologized, i've gone through hell and back and back again. i came out in a small town high school at 14 and got told every day that i was going to hell for being a disgusting dyke. and through all of this, zines and the grrrls who write them have kept me alive and reminded me that i am not the only one. i learned that i can still be who i am, i can still love myself. through the courage of other's girl's words i learned that we can make room in this world for us. i realized that there is this gorgeous sparkle that shines out of grrrrlzines, there's this glorious glitter and shine, and it keeps me alive. as courtney love says: all girls have the virus. patti smith is one way to get in touch with the virus. and girl zines are another one. wearealive. <3

Ailee said… - Aww, thanks so much for the extra zines, I got them this past week in the mail! I came home from school to find them sitting on my dresser, and I was very happy : ) I only just started reading them, but so far, I really really love your zines : )

star blanket river child said… - hey, just wanted to let you know your zine arrived safely and I can't wait to dive into it! I'm pretty sure your end of the trade went out in last weeks pile, but I've had a ton of shit going on and I have no idea where my brain is, so it might be in the pile I'm dropping off tonight. Either way, it's on the way.
xoxo

Ivana Stab said… - I knew I was completely and totally in love with my boy when I gave him Licking Stars Off Ceilings and he LOVED every issue and was so fired up and angry and was hoping some bastard would make a comment about him/me/us so that he could express his rage!

- thank you so much! starting into the zine world again has reminded me of a side of myself I'd forgotten, one that isn't nearly as passive as I present in every day life. it's refreshing.
and yeah. there's no way around it.
I'm going to send a piece to you for review for the submission. I hope it's what you're looking for, it's fairly raw and unedited, but it's something I've needed to get out for a while. THANK YOU for this opportunity. you really reminded me there's some shit I could do with getting out of my system :)

- no no no, thank you for the ramble! this is something I never get to talk about.
I only look down on slutty girls if they're going after my guy. :P I, to a degree, admire girls that can be that free about their sexuality. I've been burned, so the idea of sleeping with anyone except someone I'm really involved with, freaks me out. I can't separate sex from love. and when my friends talk about their random hookups and I'm like "how do you DO that?!" and they tell me I'm a prude, it drives me crazy because I'm definitely not a prude, I just have this... block. and I gurantee my life would probably be less fucked up if I slept around a bit instead of having these relationships, haha.
anyway! I don't think it really matters. no matter what we do, in this world, we'll probably be a little fucked up, so we might as well just support each other. :)

star blanket river child said…
- yeah, exactly. and there's some things I just don't want a lot of my friends to know, too, like things I've been through with my partner that make him look bad, because I don't need any of them telling me I shouldn't be with him when it's MY decision. it's something girls tend to do a lot, myself included- you hear a guy does something shitty and your reaction right away is, "dump his ass" because we're protective of each other like that. but sometimes there's more to it. unless he's getting physically abusive with you, I draw the line there.
but yeah, thanks a lot for the outlet. I've started something already.
and awesome! I'll drop yours in today, or if I can borrow a few bucks from someone and get to the printer, I'll drop two in for you tomorrow!

star blanket river child said…
- mmm, I think I'll come up with something new, I don't often indulge myself with the type of writing you're looking for. too many people I know read my zine... haha. but I'm really excited about it!
(and I've been looking at your website- it's really sweet.)

- hey there. :) Issue 2 still needs to be printed (and I'm broke right now) but I should have it ready in a week or so. I'd love any of yours. Since my first issue isn't very text heavy (I'm getting back into the swing of things) I can send you issue 1 now and issue 2 as soon as it's done, to make things fair?
and I will definitely try to contribute.
oh, and I'll just add you as a friend and inbox you my address.

- Yes, that adress is right, if you like, you can try sending it to my actual house, then it might make it through the mail better? It's 12 Klondike Street, North Grosvenordale, 06255

things i can do/things i'm good at
i wanted to write this list after i read some statistic about how, when asked what their favourite thing about themselves is, most boys named a skill and most girls listed a body part. i want grrrls to be proud of what we can DO, the active parts of ourselves, not just what we look like (something we have little control over). so i made this list to think about some things i'm proud that i can DO. you should make a list too.

topics i wanna write about for LSOC 11
...incest, the death of my grandfather this year who sexually assaulted me 10 years prior to his death when i was twelve. (i have not written about him and the abuse for a long time, and i can feel i'm holding back, it's a huge topic to tackle and it kind of makes me feel like i'm being split open but it's time to write about it again.)
...bisexuality and me
...girlzines i love
