  • Quotes Frenzy!

     

    "What is Real?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"

    "Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but  Really loves you, then you become Real."

    "Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

    "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."

    "Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

    "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

    These are funny ones

    "... We could go dancing?"
    I knew that was a stupid idea as soon as I said it. I danced like a donkey on Rollerblades and Rachel was even worse. The only thing she knew about rhythm was based on Dance Dance Revolution. And a girl who danced in a perfect square faster and faster just made everyone uncomfortable.

    I was as close to spontaneously combusting as you can get without being in the Fantastic Four.

    The apartment became smaller and smaller, and the parade of potential roommates started to resemble a Surreal Life highlight reel. "I have my Wiccan sisterhood meetings here every full moon. That's why I have this goat."
    "I have this lower intestine issue and I use a lot of toilet paper, but I barely use paper towels. So it evens out."

    So okay, I was lost, but maybe I could pick up some sweet outfits anyway? As Rachel always says, if life gives you lemons... stick them down your shirt and make your boobs look bigger!

    He leaned into my cubicle, his gut cascading over the fabric-covered fiberglass wall that separated my cube from the mail cubbies. "Because I remember when I was your age. I used to party all the time." When he said "party", he kind of shimmied, which I assumed indicated that back in his day "partying" actually meant grotesquely fat men moving their shoulders.

    When she woke up crying from one of her nightmares, the Kolker would stay with her, brush her hair with his hands, collect her tears in thimbles for her to drink the next morning. "The only way to overcome sadness is to consume it," he said.

    He awoke each morning with the desire to do right, to be a good and meaningful person, to be, as simple as it sounded and as impossible as it actually was, happy.
    And during the course of each day his heart would descend from his chest into his stomach. By early afternoon he was overcome by the feeling that nothing was right, or nothing was right for him, and by the desire to be alone. By evening he was fulfilled: alone in the magnitude of his grief, alone in his aimless guilt, alone even in his loneliness.
    I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others--the only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad. I am not sad. I am not sad. Because his life had unlimited potential for happiness, insofar as it was an empty white room. He would fall asleep with his heart at the foot of his bed, like some domesticated animal that was no part of him at all. And each morning he would wake with it again in the cupboard of his rib cage, having become a little heavier, a little weaker, but still pumping.
    And by midafternoon he was again overcome with the desire to be somewhere else, someone else,
    someone else somewhere else.
     I am not sad.

    -Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer's

     

    "An artist's only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own ter ms, not anyone else's. You have no right to think about those things, I swear to you. Not in any real sense, anyway."

     
    Yvonne shook me awake. She took my head in her lap, and her long brown hair draped over us like a shawl. Her belly was warm and firm as a bolster. Through the strands of her hair wove the colored strands of light I still saw, cast by a kid's carousel bedside lamp I'd scavenged on trash day. "We get all the bad dreams, ese," she said, stroking my wet cheek with the palm of her hand. "We got to leave some for somebody else."

    WHOOOO LOVED INDIA SURVIVED CAMBODIA TIRED OF MALAYSIA!

    The people in the India group were crazy, the people in India were crazy, the sleeper train was crazy, the teaching the kids the performances we watched the performance we put up the endless time we had the frisbee volleyball the laughing the hideous laughter the squeezing in the car the grins the subtle hints the hugs the games the food omg the food the dog the aussies the endless, endless laughter.

    Food poisoning in Cambodia, needn't say more. Awesome classmates who stood together. Awful haunted house with millions of mozzies, camwhoring, island, kids, building house, carrying cement, chilling on the boat eating sugar cane roadside noodles bananas lots of mineral water falling ill sleeping one whole day away the jab on my ass the friends who got sick together the wonderful, amazing teachers. And the classmates camwhoring. And my trail of farts. It hasn't reached the end.

    ( I have no pictures )

    ( And I still hate FB )

    Yeah we're on a collision course but the ride's only half as fun

    Then a day trip to Malaysia with the family omg I usually pig out there but I ate so little

    Christmas is cominggggggggg

    Had a blast in India. Seriously. Loved my group. I hate it now that we're back in Singapore. Two days to Cambodia! Quotes for now

    “ There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It’s like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction—every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it’s really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour. ”

    --Sylvia plath

     “ I don’t understand what I’m fumbling after. You’re the reason I cannot forget this season. ”

    Got a big plan, this mindset maybe its right. At the right place and right time, maybe tonight. With a whisper or handshake, you’re sending a sign. Wanna make out and kiss hard? Wait…nevermind. ”
