having a little 'frumpy' moment

i love this picture. not sure of her origin story, it's just been on my camera roll for a long time.

this morning my roommate texted me a video file of one of my old vines from 2015 or 2016. it was the "smack cam" audio and i had used some sort of face filter app to make it seem as if ho chi minh and stalin were 'smack camming' each other.
the video is mostly funny to me because i had an 'unknown mortal orchestra' poster visible in the background.
some of my closest friends today are ones who i originally met on vine or i was mutuals with on tumblr when i was fourteen.

recently i met up with someone from tumblr who i'd been mutuals with for a really long time. she lives in georgia - we're both gay, can't drive, and ended up watching russian lullaby videos together for like three hours.
sometimes the right people will just come into your life to joke around and tell you they think king princess is "frumpy."
she also left her copy of "creative loafing" at my house and i ended up annotating the entire thing for fun. i wrote out what i thought was/was not frumpy.
in conclusion, i had no idea just how frumpy creative loafing really was.


truth be told i have no qualms with this publication, 
i just think it's funny to call anything frumpy now. 

i guess when you're subjecting everyone you've ever known to your niche content, the right people just weasel their way into your world eventually. that's one way to look at it. but because the internet is so crazy, big, and incomprehensible you'd think it'd be even more difficult for people to come into your orbit, right? & it's not like anyone uses hashtags. (actually i take that back - i have completely met people through hashtags on instagram, which i know is crazy.)

most of the longest online friendships i've participated in have really strange origin stories as far as how we specifically ended up finding each other. i feel like we all got to witness each others coming of age stories publicly / have grown with each other over the years.
so yeah, i guess i'd venture to say that a lot of the bonds i've formed with people over the internet seem divinely orchestrated to a certain extent.

but i think tumblr is the only platform where you could potentially meet friends that are just as interested in russian lullabies as you are.

how many of your friends did you meet online?
