I really loved ["the love affairs of nathaniel p" by adelle waldman]. it's having a really hot moment. unlike many hot books, it's actually really wonderful. i tend to have that reaction: i don't want to read it if everyone thinks it's cool. it was a really interesting insight into being young and male. now that made me feel really thankful for my boyfriend and really thankful because he wasn't like that protagonist, but i know so many people who are like that protagonist.

More From Lena Dunham

Cool is spent. cool is empty. cool is ex post facto. when advertisers and pundits hoard a word, you know it's time to retire from it. to move on. i want to suggest, therefore, that we begin to avoid cool now. cool is a trick to get you to buy garments made by sweatshop laborers in third world countries. cool is the triumph of the will. cool enables you to step over bodies. cool enables you to look the other way. cool makes you functional, eager for routine distraction, passive, doped, stupid.

In ancient times, people weren't just male or female, but one of three types: male/male, male/female, female/female. in other words, each person was made out of the components of two people. everyone was happy with this arrangement and never really gave it much a thought. but then god took a knife and cut everybody in half, right down the middle. so after that the world was divided just into male and female, the upshot being that people spend their time running around trying to locate their missing other half.

I am constantly thankful. the world is so beautiful, i am thankful. i have endless energy, i am thankful. i am plugged into the source of universal supply, i am thankful. i am plugged into the source of universal truth, i am thankful. i have this constant feeling of thankfulness, which is a prayer.

Yes. the original argument is defective. substitute the word 'male' for 'gay,' and you'll see the flaw: 'male people cannot be normal. if everyone were male starting tomorrow, the human race would die out, so being male cannot be nature's intended way.' or you could substitute the word 'female.' in either case, the argument makes no sense: being male or female is perfectly normal.
Gay Perfectly Normal Race
The reaction to any word may be, in an individual, either a mob-reaction or an individual reaction. it is up to the individual to ask himself: is my reaction individual, or am i merely reacting from my mob-self? when it comes to the so-called obscene words, i should say that hardly one person in a million escapes mob-reaction.

There are times in my life when i let myself get consumed with jealously for someone else's life, their body, their wardrobe, their talent. they call it the green-eyed monster for a reason. it's a self destructive and when it's in the room, it consumes you. be strong and don't focus on what other people have.
Stay Strong Self People
There are many kinds of loss embedded in a loss - the loss of the person, and the loss of the self you got to be with that person. and the seeming loss of the past, which now feels forever out of reach.
Loss Past Self
Archetypes, in spite of their conservative nature, are not static but in a continuous dramatic flux. thus the self as a monad or continuous unit would be dead. but it lives inasmuch as it splits and unites again. there is no energy without opposites!
Self Opposites Energy
There is a universal need to exercise some kind of power, or to create for one's self the appearance of some power, if only temporarily, in the form of intoxication.
Exercise Power Self
