i slept from 10-1 and woke up and couldn’t fall back asleep because thoughts so i’ve been up and i’m scared to try again because more thoughts and no distractions. and also my wisdom teeth, hence this stupid thing I’m doing to my face. also, i have to be up in five hours, sweet
i’m not being sarcastic though, because i am going to maine tomorrow (aka in seven hours) with one of my favorite people so that i may visit one of my other favorite people on her birthday.
SUMMER
If a writer of prose knows enough of what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing.

Go on anonymous and tell me about the person you like.
Someone do this. I like to hear about how other people make you feel.
Why “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” should not be a movie
because the trailer just came out and I am adamant in my feelings about this
you’re not allowed to judge anyone in a bookstore no matter what kind of books they’re looking at
literary nuts can read trashy romance novels
adults can sit cross legged on the floor and read picture books
christians can read the koran and buddhists can read books about satanism
mother of four can read a self-help book on spicing up her sex life
divorced cop can read a book about sexuality
no one gets to judge and no one gets to say anything about it - that is sacred fuckin territory and as long as you aren’t ripping out pages and stuffing them in your pants, you can look at any kind of book you want
even twilight
holy shit yes
even if you see a teenage girl tearing up as she nears the end of breaking dawn YOU KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND YOUR COMMENTS TO YOURSELF
SYLVIA PLATH DIED FOR YOUR LIBRARY CARD
HATE THE BOOK NOT THE READER
#sometimes I just get so much shame for reading YA#people say ‘oh you’re so smart why are you reading THAT’ #because it’s good#and it can be deep #and it’s more entertaining than some of the stuff that people expect me to read #I mean #I love Shakespeare #Shakespeare and I are very passionate sex-partners #but I can’t read Shakespeare all the time #I just can’t #I need my YA and my dystopia and sometimes I read children’s books #and I ain’t even bovvered.
Fiction’s about what it is to be a fucking human being.
