mom song jesus
I call my mom from the car. I tell her that Neutral Milk Hotel is playing at the Hideout and she says, "Who? What? You're hiding out?" And then I hum a few bars of one of their songs and Mom says, "Oh, I know that song. It's on the mix you made me," and I say, "Right," and she says, "Well you have to be back by eleven," and I say, "Mom this is a historical event. History doesn't have a curfew," and she says, "Back by eleven," and I say, "Fine. Jesus," and then she has to go cut cancer out of someone.

pain lost-love people
You can say a lot of bad things about Tiny Cooper. I know, because I have said them.

Tiny is like some gigantic sponge soaking up the pain of lost love everywhere he goes.

teacher soulmate real
It's like people believe all you need to do is like the same bands in order to be soulmates. Or book. Oh my god...you like The Outsiders too...it's like we're the same person! No, we're not. It's like we have the same English teacher. There's a difference.
hipster caring doe
Caring doesn't sometimes lead to misery. It always does.
