Things I Would Do If My Name Were “Benedict Cumberbatch”
A comprehensive list by me via Thought Catalog
Has anyone on here ever used Skype to do a Ustream with two people in different places or am I basically asking for a holodeck over here?
Mom calls me crying because she’s so proud. Then adds: “TELL THEM TO MAKE YOUR NAME BIGGER. IT’S TOO SMALL.”
Oh right. You guys know how I control the byline size on the New York friggin’ Times, right? That thing I do.
Hahahahaha. She’s sweet.
thestepswetook asked: Hello, again. sorry to continue bothering you, I'm sure you're busy but I wanted to take some time out to personally (informally, over the internet, via an ask box and not email) thank you for responding to my previous question. I have intentions on submitting a piece to Thought Catalog, perhaps the one about losing my virginity to a future pedo, and I'm not fully sure if that's a good idea or not. I'm not sure if it really fits with TC's scheme.
Definitely submit. I like that story a lot.

The news is out. I’m a new New York Times Magazine columnist. I write about Internet celebrities. It’s called ‘Famous on the Internet.’ Oh boy.
Benedict Cumberbatch is so British that I envision that he wasn’t born, but was spawned from the Thames like an English Aphrodite.
Reblogging for the commentary.

Evan Barden is like the Eve to my Adam.
Okay, he’s not. But his project One Hundred Dates is spawned from the rib of my blog baby 100 Interviews. Where I interviewed 100 people in a year, Evan is currently seeking to go on 100 different dates this year - in an effort to meet new people, write more, increase his confidence and find out why people just don’t date anymore.
He’s a dapper fellow (see photo above), a deep thinker and a funny fellow improviser so naturally I’ve set him up with some friends along the way.
Six months into One Hundred Dates, Evan and I did a little catch-up Q&A about dating, women, sex, blogging and a man’s fear of being called a “creep.”
THIS CUTE BOY WANTS TO DATE YOU.
