Are you, like me, a little bit in love with Miranda July? Her movie You and Me and Everyone We Know is strange and lovely and haunting and her online project Learning To Love You More is full of fantastic assignments for all who care to take part. Assignments like ¨Climb to the top of a tree and take a picture of the view¨or ¨Make an educational public plaque¨or ¨Write a press release about an everyday event.¨ See!? Don´t you love her?
I love her extra hard because she said this:
"Just because something's uncomfortable doesn't mean it's wrong. And just because you have your doubts about what you're doing, or you don't trust yourself 100 percent, that's normal. There's this illusion that people who do stuff are totally confident, and I've never been. I've been riddled with doubt through the whole thing. You know, with a few flashes of maybe, MAYBE this will be great."
Which ladies of the world do you want to drink tea with?

Michelle Obama... She's not my hero or anything (not yet), but I'd just love to have a conversation with her.

Wow, do I ever adore that quote.
I have been totally in love with Miranda July ever since I saw you and me and everyone we know when it first came out. I especially loved her website to promote her book which is written entirely on her fridge... - http://noonebelongsheremorethanyou.com/00025
Dolly Parton. It'd have to be sweet tea, though.
And now I want to share a cup with Miranda July. That quote is amazing.

I'm with Darcie--gimme a call when you get a chance, friend, I'm full of confusing times but good vibes.
Dead ladies--my girls Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.
Living bitches--my actual girlfriends, whom I would stack up against any collection of awesome women.
