I don’t trust the media, too many acronyms.  what does cnn stand for?  literally no one knows the answer

cable news network

could be.  literally no one knows

my oversized sweatshirt will protect me from Everything

-The last diary entry you find next to a skeleton wearing an oversized sweatshirt.

Its 80° out but it feels like a 100° in my house

It is in fact cooler outside then inside my house

Hate when that happens, at least in the summer

Every time I read an old book and some young person “visits a friend in the countryside” for weeks or months I get emotional. Imagine if your friends had the resources to host you at their house for that long. And you would live there very like if it was your own home. Nowadays even if you do stay with friends or family, there’s usually events or activities intended to fill the time. Suppose if you just went to visit your friend for a month, and the two of you just read books or took walks together.

You swerve to avoid a squirrel. Unknown to you, the squirrel pledges a life debt to you. In your darkest hour, the squirrel arrives.

on principle i'm completely with the tumblr users who wanna mock folks who don't listen to rap/hip-hop/jazz/country/etc but some of the discourse on the subject on here seems to indicate that people think merely consuming media is like an act of social justice or some shit and thinking about it like that is just as fucked. you're not like, doing a favor to Black people by putting on jazz records you know

Ok I'll bite. you are bleeding now

Aaron, when his younger sibling comes home to find a mess after a party he very definitely was not supposed to be having: "Don't tell Dad."

I've always been a big fan of Elijah taunting the daylights out of the prophets of baal then outrunning the kings chariot on foot getting back to the city before the rains hit. That whole section other than maybe the wholesale slaughter of the baal dudes is good for a giggle.

This reminds me that another kind of funny passage is when John mentions twice that he was faster than Peter when they were running to Jesus' tomb.

Really one of those moments where you can actually get a clear view of how fast someone can run too I'm thinking. Wild to think they were running given the social stigma involved in that kind of thing, but I suppose given their previous occupations being highly regarded by the community wasn't really on their list of things they worried about.

Haman in Esther, all he had to do was be chill about the one guy in the entire empire (other than the king) who wouldn’t bow to him. Especially when the king asks him “What shall be done for the man that the king wishes to honor?” and Haman lays out all of the things that he wants and the king basically says “sounds good, do that for Mordecai!”

getting lost in boston is fun because I turned around on a street corner three times and some guy yelled "hey stupid! the bus is that way!" very helpful interaction and accurate insult, 10/10 no notes

one time I walked around a building a couple times looking for a bathroom and this guy went "this bitch thinks she's on a merrygoround, where the fuck are you tryna go? bathroom? one floor down to the right behind the door that says bathroom."

My very first time in Boston. I was absolutely miserable, trying to drag my giant suitcase up a lengthy set of stairs in the pouring rain. This guy who had already reached the top looked back at me with the most pure expression of disgust I’ve ever seen in anyone’s eyes, marched back down the stairs, grabbed my suitcase, carried it to the top, left it there for me, and walked away without ever saying a word. I think about him often.

That's just how New Englanders are in general. Actually good and helpful people, but you're gonna get insulted too.

There are people out there right now writing media analysis for stories they haven't read. And we just let them

Some who have read the book, or at any rate have reviewed it, have found it boring, absurd, or contemptible, and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently prefer.

my nails are so long I keep chipping them HELP
