Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl

Welcome to my new writing project, everyone. I've been writing for a while about the Seattle Seahawks over on Dave Krieg's Strike Beard, and I've been writing about my transition over on Tumblr for a spell, too. I envision this blog as a space for my longer-form writings that don't fit well on my Seahawks blog or on my Tumblr. It will focus on my transition and on trans issues, but I will also post essays about other topics as I see fit.

The name of this blog references a song from one of my favorite bands (Sleater-Kinney) and the fact that I live in Columbus, Ohio. I'll be posting a FAQ here very soon, but for now I'll leave you with "Modern Girl" by Sleater-Kinney. I think this will be fun, y'all!

My baby loves me, I'm so happy
Happy makes me a modern girl
Took my money and bought a TV
TV brings me closer to the world

My whole life looked like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life was like a picture of a sunny day

My baby loves me, I'm so hungry
Hunger makes me a modern girl
Took my money and bought a donut
The hole's the size of this entire world

My whole life looks like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life looked like a picture of a sunny day

My baby loves me, I'm so angry
Anger makes me a modern girl
Took my money, I couldn't buy nothin'
I'm sick of this brave new world

My whole life looks like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life looked like a picture of a sunny day

My whole life looks like a picture of a sunny day
My whole life looks like a picture of a sunny day
