    “Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”

    “Harry Potter isn’t real? Oh no! Wait, wait, what do you mean by real? Is this video blog real? Am I real if you can see me and hear me, but only through the internet? Are you real if I can read your comment but I don’t know who you are or what your name is or where you’re from or what you look like or how old you are? I know all of those things about Harry Potter. Maybe Harry Potter’s real and you’re not.”

    “The thing about being an artist," Dad said, folding his newspaper and setting it down on the table, "is that there are always going to be people who want to stop you from doing your art. But this usually says more about them and their issues than it does about you and your art. Trust me.”

    “Do not fall in love with people like me.
    I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth.
    I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.”

    “My mother tells me
    that when I meet someone I like,
    I have to ask them three questions:

    1. what are you afraid of?
    2. do you like dogs?
    3. what do you do when it rains?

    of those three, she says the first one is the most important.
    “They gotta be scared of something, baby. Everybody is. If they aren’t afraid of anything, then they don’t believe in anything, either.”I asked you what you were afraid of.
    “spiders, mostly. being alone. little children, like, the ones who just learned how to push a kid over on the playground. oh and space. holy shit, space.”
    I asked you if you liked dogs.
    “I have three.”
    I asked you what you do when it rains.
    “sleep, mostly. sometimes I sit at the window and watch the rain droplets race. I make a shelter out of plastic in my backyard for all the stray animals; leave them food and a place to sleep.”
    he smiled like he knew.
    like his mom told him the same
    thing.
    “how about you?”

    me?
    I’m scared of everything.
    of the hole in the o-zone layer,
    of the lady next door who never
    smiles at her dog,
    and especially of all the secrets
    the government must be breaking
    it’s back trying to keep from us.
    I love dogs so much, you have no idea.
    I sleep when it rains.
    I want to tell everyone I love them.
    I want to find every stray animal and bring them home.
    I want to wake up in your hair
    and make you shitty coffee
    and kiss your neck
    and draw silly stick figures of us.
    I never want to ask anyone else
    these questions
    ever again.”
