“Come for the lesbian hotel, stay for the euthanasia.”

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives…

“I hadn’t yet come to terms with being a lesbian, so I also spent a lot of time making excuses not to have sex.”

From the ostensibly refined collections like coins and stamps to the esoteric like taxidermy, there’s a wide world of stuff to gather out there! That said, most of us just own very specific types of books, but we thought you’d be into that too.

“Look, I’m sorry! Every year the concept of pride sounds great in theory and then when it actually rolls around, it’s like New Years Eve on acid.”

DO NOT use genitalia as a champagne flute.

“I thought the Alicia Keys poster on my wall could see me, which I think had something to do with internalized homophobia.”

“I also spent some time writing an intentionally awful Snape/Dobby/Giant Squid love triangle short story because sometimes you have to make your own fun.”

A few months ago, some of us took the Enneagram test and felt extremely uncomfortable with the truths it revealed about us. As fun as that was, we thought it would be even more fun to make even more Autostraddle staff do it and also share their results with a large audience. Let’s see if we were right!
