i have a massive urge to drop out of school, delete my facebook and tumblr, throw my phone out the window and get on a train to somewhere random and just go on a massive adventure
That’s not far off from my friend Melanie did, so why not?
She’s enjoying it, just check her Tumblr.
The Most Badass Excerpt From Barney Frank's...
Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
Interviewer: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
Interviewer: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?

tatethetimetraveler:
I don’t hate Donna but I also don’t get what I’m supposed to love about her. I did like her way more the second half of her time on the show. But the first half, she was like someone I would avoid in real life, so I just don’t get it.

But I am never putting on make up ‘for you’. I am doing it because I like it, because it’s fun, because I like art on my face, because I like how I look with it. It’s entirely selfish, and the next person who asks me whether I am putting on make up ‘because I have a hot date’ will be punched in the ‘any respect I previously had for them’.

This is how I feel watching all of my mostly broke, barely able to find decent work, indebted for the honest desire to get an education, peers wrestle with their feelings about OWS.

The fact that I’m an emotional wreck right now means I’m in good shape.
For the longest time I moved around from one town to another, completely rootless and unattached. Of course I had friends. I always make friends. But those friendships lacked something. Heart. My heart that is. I was too…
Melanie is one of my favorite people on Earth, and we probably have my favorite...

So you’re at a party. And it’s an awesome party. Great music, cool snacks, and it’s not too stuffy because the windows are open and there’s a nice cross breeze. Plus the guests? Killer. Everyone’s funny and cool and has a really neat career and you just want to be pals with all of them. And they’re all having a hell of a time. They love everybody in the room. Except for you.
No...
