just one freaking m.
the man was a genius and, yes, i know, a lot of what he said is worth repeating (& reblogging) but seriously, if you’re going to quote him, can’t you at least spell his name right?

Barry: I'm lookin' at your face and I just wanna smash it. I just wanna fuckin' smash it with a sledgehammer and squeeze it. You're so pretty.

All I wanna do...
is go home, make some cookies and apple cider and curl up with a book.
I am kind of loving this cold, rainy weather, but it sucks that I have to spend it walking around campus and taking midterms.
It really feels like fall. Last night, we carved pumpkins and drank the pumpkin Blue Moon, I forgot what it’s called. It was so “autumny” feeling.

Politics in the Office... and a moment of clarity

Mine, and a few others’, is Curse of Lono, but if you haven’t read The Rum Diary, you should. I think it’s the closest he gets to blending Fitzgerald and Hemmingway, written as a young man back in the 50s/60s.
Mine is The Rum Diary.

i attended the funeral of one of the most influential people in my life, someone who, along with his wife, loved me unconditionally the whole time i was growing up. he was my sunday school teacher and youth director for many years, and while our views may differ these days, he was a pillar of support and an example of love and compassion to me for my entire life. i was so lucky to have known him,...
