where does your tumblr name come from?
at the end of the school year, i got in major trouble for a bunch of stuff (stuff that most kids do, but that my aunt considered “drowning your depression in drugs and alcohol”), and was grounded eternally (i still am). all i did was sit at home and get on the computer, and take pictures. so when i made my flickr, i made my url in_jail, and i just carried it over to my tumblr.
The Fratellis, “Flathead”
“And she made me talk dirty, in a pink hotel…”
Apples in Stereo song. I wrote about it in the sidebar.
I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come out with a fail-safe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it’s already too late
-John Darnielle, “No Children”
The name “The Last Exit” also concerns my existence in the far, irrelevant corner of the internet; you’re only here if you’re bored or have somehow missed the main attraction. As for “billcosby”, my URL name… guys, I really have no idea. It’s probably from Zach Galifianakis coming on after a few comedians saying “Patton Oswalt, everybody!” [Applause] “Maria Bamford” [Applause] “And, uh… Bill Cosby… was great too.”
