mean two kind
I have two kinds of Facebook friends: Those who know what 'DFTBA' means, and those who don't.
book favourite favourite-book
I don't have a favourite book, I have hundreds.
fighting broken doe
The world is broken, and all our attempts to fix it will inevitably fail, and some day all life will be extinguished from the planet and there will be no one to remember that any of us ever did anything. But this fact, strangely, does not delegitimize hope, because every now and again we find evidence that hope is helpful. This evidence, in my opinion, should be celebrated-even as we lament and fight the devastation.
self loathing monsters
Beware of that monster called 'self-loathing'.
underwater impossible cry
I feel like crying, so I must be crying, but it's impossible to tell because I'm underwater.
smart thinking talking
I have a great affection for people who are intellectually engaged with the world, and who don't treat everything superficially. And I think, when people talk about nerdiness, what they're really talking about is smart people who who are trying to think hard about the world. And I don't think that's an insult, I think that's a great thing.
knows nerdfighter
Nerdfighter pwns woot. Everyone knows that.
jobs eye doctors
I'm at the eye doctor. I'm always at the eye doctor. It's like this is my profession. I am no longer a writer, I'm now an optomoligical patient. By the way, this job doesn't pay well.
ice-cream air weight-watchers
You know what ambrosia tastes like? It tastes like all the things you can't eat on Weight Watchers. Cheeseburgers, sugar cookies, regular frickin' ice cream, instead of, like, ice cream that's made out of air ... and human hope.
mean boys thinking
There are at least two distinct meanings of 'hot': there is the, like, normal human definition which is that 'this individual seems suitable for mating'. And then there's the weird, culturally constructed definition of 'hot' which means, 'that individual is malnourished and has probably had plastic bags inserted into her breasts'. Like, I think if you went back to the 18th century and asked a 15-year-old boy, 'Would you like to marry a woman who has had plastic bags needlessly inserted into her breasts?' that 15-year-old boy would probably be like ... 'What's plastic?'
stories world misguided
I wanted to, you know, get my story out in the world, which, it turns out, is a very misguided notion.
roles complexity humans
Our role as humans is to recognize the complexity of others.
believe america
Nerdighters make me believe in America again.
emo allan-poe checkmate
If I'm too old to be Emo, how do you account for the very Emo and very old Edgar Allan Poe? Checkmate!
