aromatic substitution

November 30, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

There are five candles in my house that smell like memories. I messaged a friend the first night one was lit: “Last night I came home and the house smelled different. It smelled like a sensuous man in tune with his surroundings and spirit. Kinda like incense, kinda like ceremony, kinda like bed sheets after sex.” The scent was an immediate aphrodisiac. I lunged for Bubba who turned me away because of a migraine. I got comfy in bed, stared […]

objects + time

November 25, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

Time is linear when you’re in school. Moments are simple bullet points or dashes scattered along a straight path, each with a brief call out. It’s simple to see how events relate to one another – they’re all there in front of you. As an adult, looking at a timeline – your own timeline – becomes more like looking at a constellation. The moments are near and related, but all over the place – and all brilliant. Some shine brighter […]

the downfall of humanity: generation after generation

November 24, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

I somehow managed to submit a couple of simple and cynical writings while getting my interior design degree. What follows is the preface to an anthology about childbirth I compiled right after high school. Preface The notion of a woman sprawled out on starched, white sheets, with her legs reaching out towards the ends of the universe in preparation for a pulpy, gray and purple breathing mass to desperately inch its way out of a hole whose existence I was […]

a follow up to alameda + an old flame

November 18, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

You asked if I was interested in reconnecting. I’m interested in reconnecting with the person who I’m losing right now, and it isn’t you. I’m interested in you reconnecting with the person who I am losing, and it isn’t me. My eyes burn and water, just the way they used to every time I’d drive through Alameda. They don’t anymore. Alameda doesn’t make me cry. I thought it did. What makes me cry is that you are Love and Truth […]

rach(a)els & jo(h)ns

November 12, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

There are a number of “Jo(h)n”s in my life and an even larger number of “Robert”s. Almost every Jo(h)n I know is the kindest, most giving man I have ever met. Each time I am introduced to a new Jo(h)n I begin the conversation by telling them this and the blush from flattery tints their face right before they turn sad and gray from the burden of expectation just placed in their hands. Yet almost every Jo(h)n lives up to […]

“Do you do water gardens at all? Is there an interest in this area? I’ve always been interested…” “I’ve done a few. I’d actually like to put a water feature in the front. There’s a school nearby and the kids always pass the house. I’d like to put something in that they can play in…you know, just splash around with their hands.” The conversation went something like that. The mind went something like, “I love people who build to share.” […]

November 7, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

“For many years I’ve had a shallow interest in origami and a deep interest in cock.” So my boyfriend gifted me the book, “Kokigami.” Read more about it here: http://www.sepulchritude.com/suffer/volumetwo/kookigami.html

distill my heart

November 7, 2013 by whatwhippedcreamismadeof

“Will you go home with me?” I stood in front of her and petted her bangs, heavily exhaling 6 hours of fermentations on her face. Her hair was BEAUTIFUL. I stared at her fringe all night and this was the first conversation that didn’t start with me asking about her hair. “Did you cut your bangs that angle on purpose?” “I love how the curve shows off your eyebrow.” “Have I met you before? Did you have curly hair?” She said […]
