2:26 PM Tao: hi

Tao: are you ready, is now good for you?
me: yes
2:27 PM I am eating a bag of jolly ranchers
Tao: ok good
me: I feel chill
Tao: where is your mom
is she standing behind you
me: no she is vacuuming our staircase
Tao: oh, good
me: it smells like american apparel
Tao: did your mom tell you she was bidding
me: yes
Tao: what did you say
me: I said 'good', 'I should tweet this'
2:28 PM Tao: sweet
does your mom read my blog every day
me: she says she didn't know you had a blog
Tao: interesting
she must have found it on twitter then
does she have a twitter
me: she is more 'into hipster runoff'
2:29 PM Tao: how does she read people's twitters, thru some kind of feed?
damn, does your mom think carles is tao lin at all
me: yes she has a twitter (quantumgrl)
she doesn't think you are carles whatsoever
Tao: damn
2:30 PM how did you find hipster runoff?
me: 'google'
Tao: what did you google
me: oh COME ON
this is humiliating
Tao: we can talk about something else
me: I obviously googled 'hipster' because I was fourteen and trying to secure an identity
Tao: are you going to college?
damn, fourteen
2:31 PM what college does your mom want you to go to?
me: wherever I can get in, I suppose
I don't have good grades
Tao: your mom has a 3-1 follower to following ratio, seems sweet
what did your mom say to talk to me about
your mom censored herself in a tweet: 'BebeZeva You are totally making sh** up.'
2:32 PM me: haha she just said to be engaging and 'control the convestation'
yes
I told her to type the whole thing out
Tao: how does she feel about all the 'f words' in 'sfaa,' didn't she buy you that
me: she's not that conservative
Tao: do you feel like you are controlling the conversation at all
me: no, but I like the way this is going
2:33 PM Tao: why does your mom type 'Bebezeva' instead of '@bebezeva,' have you told her about that
me: I feel like I'm typing in a monotone
she used to @ me all the time
and I told her not to so no one would find me
Tao: interseting
what is your mom's favorite movie
2:34 PM or a movie she likes
me: Fargo
Tao: damn
me: she also like Quentin Terentino movies
Tao: damn
did you see 'where the wild things are'
me: Of course not
I hated the book
Tao: damn, why not
oh, damn
me: the book was boring
Tao: damn
did you see 'being john malkovich'
me: people only want to see it because urban outfitters sells WTWTA shirts
Tao: damn
2:35 PM me: no I haven't but my mom keeps telling me she'll get it off netflix and never does
Tao: you once tweeted you were writing 2x poem in the 'muumuu house' style, what happened
me: I did write them but I was afraid they weren't good enough so I never showed them to anybody
Tao: what were they about?
2:36 PM me: the first one was too metaphorical
I think muumuu house is about simplicity
Tao: interesting
me: it was about walking around in the morning and not usually every being awake in the morning to go walking around
Tao: damn
it sounds good
2:37 PM i see you recently started to follow 'brandon scott gorrell,' what caused you to do that, on twitter
me: I think you @ed him
and I recognized him
Tao: i see
me: I think I've read his tumblr before
2:38 PM Tao: you once tweeted you would review 'sfaa' on amazon, do you think that will still happen
me: yes
Tao: sweet
do you have a sister?
me: I am very easily 'overwhelmed' so its hard for me to do things on time
yes her name is Rachel but I call her Ham
Tao: how old is she
me: she is @RachelZehava and she is seventeen
Tao: 'ham,' sounds derogatory
2:39 PM does it ever 'come up' in conversation how you are way more famous than her on the internet, how does she feel
me: haha
she doesn't care whatsoever
2:40 PM her ambitions in life are very different from mine
Tao: have you received 'offers' after your modeling re 'i am carles'
what are your ambitions in life?
me: I think my ambitions involve 'proving a lot of people wrong'
and being 'extremely relevant' and 'well known'
Tao: interesting
me: nothing realistic
Tao: don't you 'need' a tumblr or something to help you in that
2:41 PM or have you already planned that
a blog
me: I feel like I am very verbose and tumblr would limit me
so I made a wordpress but was too intimidated by it to post anything
Tao: damn, wordpress
have you considered blogger
2:42 PM me: yes but I couldn't stand the format
Tao: do you plan to use this gchat to 'leverage' yoru career
me: 'possibly'
Tao: by posting it somewhere for 'mad hits'
'but where would you post it'
2:43 PM me: not sure, maybe it would be my first wordpress post
Tao: that would be sweet
maybe you could do that
me: me and my mom were talking about that an hour ago
Tao: damn
what was said about that
2:44 PM me: she didn't really know who either of them were, but she saw that you RT'd it and recognized that it was 'relevant'
Tao: funny
has she ever said negative things about me
you can be honest
me: never
Tao: sweet
me: she is surprisingly 'defensive' of you and carles
Tao: oh, sweet
2:45 PM does she ever comment on blogs
she has never tweeted @ me
me: haha she reads her brother's blog
Tao: what is her brother's blog
me: its a sarcastic humor blog
about 'mainstream things'
Tao: sounds good
how many hits does it get a day
2:46 PM me: I have no idea, actually
I think he is on wordpress, too
its not a big deal
Tao: wordpress seems 'unseemly' to me
what did you eat today
me: hm
oatmeal
2:47 PM and whole foods popcorn
Tao: i ate oatmeal last night w my gf
me: and jolly ranchers
do you eat it together
Tao: yeah
me: is that romantic
Tao: we ate 3 packets
me: damn
Tao: i think so, maybe
seemed unnhealthy
me: what is the most romantic flavor of oatmeal
Tao: i could've eaten many more packets
maybe 'vanilla'
what do you think
2:48 PM me: something amorous like with cinnamon in it
Tao: we had cinnomon last night
me: I think I am really into 'fruit and cream'
seems really adolescent, possibly
Tao: would you rather have a lifetime supply of wendy's spicy chicken sandwich or mcdonald's chicken nuggets
me: wendy's spicy chicken sandwiches
2:49 PM Tao: me too
seems like i could just eat the lettuce if i wanted to be healthy
whereas with the nuggets i wouldn't be able to do that
me: they would get 'srsly old'
sandwiches have more variety
Tao: what is your main method going to be, do you think, of becoming 'well known'
2:50 PM me: I am unsure, for my entire life I have wanted to be a writer
I have always utilized that skill
but now I feel like I am distancing myself from writing
even though i don't want to
Tao: hm
is there something 'filling' the space where writing used to be
me: yes, my place in the 'hipster runoff brand'
2:51 PM Tao: i see
(A small portion of this chat has been omitted for privacy purposes)
Tao: oh, damn
what do you make of that chart
2:52 PM wait, this chart is more interesting
me: hahahahaha
'miranda july'
Tao: seems like she should be more famous than that
2:53 PM i seem stagnant
me: totes...
Tao: seems not good
do you hve any questions
about anything
me: you seem extremely dependent on charts
Tao: hehe
2:54 PM i don't know how else to judge how my career is going
maybe
charts seem assuring
our time is almost over
are there things you want to talk about
me: I don't think so
I am glad we talked about muumuu house
Tao: oh, good
2:55 PM are there more things you want to talk about re muumuu house
me: I think I just needed some assurance
that you were interested in anything I have to write
I feel like my future depends on it, possibly
me: do you turn down a lot of people
Tao: no
2:56 PM the submission policy says that there aren't submissions
just
that i'll ask people to submit if i feel confident they'll be able to
write something that muumuu house would be interested in publishing
where is your mom right now
2:57 PM me: I hope you will be interested
she is downstairs
Tao: thank you and her for participating in the ebay gchat thing
i hope this chat has been okay with you
i encourage you to use it to promote your career, if you post it somewhere i'll link it
2:58 PM me: that would be 'greatly appreciated'
hope we keep in touch
Tao: sweet
have a nice night
it was nice chatting
me: yes it was
enjoy your oatmeal
Tao: thanks
good night
me: 'good night'
