Recently read “Manifesto of the Armed Front of Love”And it was very endearing, perfectly capturing how insulated we all are.

“If you really loved me, she says, you’d let off a nerve agent on the metro…I do love you, you say, madly and fanatically, beyond all reason or measure, but what about the victims? Oh yeah, sure, she says, turning away from you. What about the victims.”

I love that you’re cold when it's 71 out. I love that you take an 1:30 to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can smell your perfume on me. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve

Can my soul be hurt? Is that like a thing, I feel like I have a bruise on my soul. How the hell did I do that

“But the man who sets himself the task of singling out the thread of order from the tapestry will by the decision alone have taken charge of the world and it is only by such taking charge that he will effect a way to dictate the terms of his own fate”

Been re-listening to Hiromi albums, love Silver Lining Suite

There’s always something about the holidays that makes me sad. Maybe I’m wistful maxxing… I should stop watching When Harry Met Sally in December

As a self proclaimed enjoyer of the Old Testament… I will attest Genesis is one of the weaker books

I did skip ahead to Song of Songs don’t judge me

Restarting Macbeth not because I’m paranoid that I took to long and need repeat the first act. I’m not paranoid, I’m the king you know

YOU THOUGHT I WAS GONE?? FINALS MEARLY WEAKENED ME, GUESS WHO’S BACK FOR REGULARLY SCHEDULED DFW BASHING?

This chapter was actually quite pleasant, I too struggle with wondering if I’m looking back on my accomplishments to see my self growth or to impress someone else. Is self reflection ever honest? Do we want to impress ourselves?? Nah, I just wanna listen to tv girl and drink coffee in a park

Listening to Twice while reading this: hydrazine gives dinitrogen tetroxide the feels yeah yeah yeah yeah you have stolen my carbon group yeah never it go oh oh no lightening straight to my control system oh yeah hypergolics gonna combust ust ust I know got the feels for H2O

I need a witch’s prophecy to get hung up on

Uxorious, what a fond word

The spaceship orbits because it likes the earth. Proof? The earth is cute idk

This chapter has me thinking about Fantastic Mr Fox and contentment. One should appreciate what they have and not what they lack/lost. Sometimes misery is a choice. My dream is to get oysters; I think I’ll go to Morro Bay tomorrow by myself and it will be great :D #whimsy #oystermaxxing #beingwhoiam

Feeling extra whimsical today

“You are what you love. No? You are, completely and only, what you would die for, without thinking twice. All other free choices follow from this: what is our temple”

I choose to love hot pockets.

She sits across the table
I sneak glances,
listening for the music of
fingers against hair.

She combs,
pulls her hair back
tight, rolls it
around a finger, scrunches it
holding a shaggy mess.
For half a bachelor’s she does this.
But I like to see it like this.

Not because it is messy.
it is because of the way
her hair falls
when she releases the bundle.
Easily, like the curtains
around a low sun in the evening.

Men, get yourself a Bella of France who—wait she killed her husband. I thought she was baddie though with a wolf cut? She was a she wolf who cut up her husband’s bowels—men, get yourself a woman who knows the way to a man’s heart is through his bowels.

Small theory, stop trying to fight the English at range?

It’s funny reading a chapter arguing the theme of Gatsby is not “true love vs idealized love” but addiction. To Wallace, escaping addiction is not realizing your ‘drug’ is evil/bad for you but that it will never not feel amazing. You win by leaving and accepting you can’t trust yourself. Daisy will always spark Gatsby but he can only be in the light… fuck you DFW, I’m deleting hinge again

DFW: Would you rather have 5 million dollars or drink broth that blinds you for 24 hours?

I mean… how tasty is the broth and does it come with noodles/sides?

That’s right, the spaceship goes in the square hole

I would love a short film of a crowd cheering on Medusa fighting Odalisque, both in reflective onesies causing the crowd to slowly turn to stone and gems respectively

I’m actually hysterical at this section

💅💅🫠

Imagine doing nothing but watching tv till you die, silly guy. couldn’t be me *takes out reels for 3 hours*

Death by NyQuil is pretty funny

A girl today in my circuits lab: “Wow that’s a really long book, it must be pretty good to want to finish it”

O_O yeah funny thing…

I paused reading the Aeneid for this? Put me in Tartarus dude I messed up

“The integrity of my sleep has been forever compromised” new line to ramble at Professors unlocked
