"all my ex-lovers are dead" is what you get when you drink a million mugs of tea and collage the diaries from your teen years across your bedroom wall like that meme from “It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia”; uncomfortably familiar but somehow reassuring. And a promise: even if it doesn't get better, at least it gets funnier.
An all-too-honest, mostly autobiographical reflection on desire, the pitfalls of pity sex, poor life choices, why love is like potatoes, and how many cups of tea it takes to wake up and smell the coffee.
A play for the Tumblr girlies, our younger selves, and the gals you meet in the bathrooms along the way.
