Nine: I think I was in love once.
Ten: Really? What was her name?
Nine: Her name was Rose.
Ten: Doctor, we all love Rose.
Nine: I love Rose because she's fantastic. She always knew just what to say and she made me better.
Ten: Oh, yes! Rose was brilliant. All soft and warm and clever and so very human.
Eleven: I love River!

Eleven: I love Clara!
Ten: Doctor, are you just looking at girls in the universe and saying that you love them?
Eleven: I love... fez.
Ten: Do you really love fez, or are you just saying that because you saw it?
Eleven: I - I love fez! I love fez.

D. Muse’s Macaroni and Cheese Recipe
with bacon, potato chips, and also cheese. a lot of it.
-1.5 lbs of cheese… I’d suggest that roughly a pound of it be mild and the rest sharp, tangy, briny, etc.
-1.5 lbs of pasta (preferably macaroni, but sometimes one must improvise)
—- the numbers can be adjusted, just make sure your amount (weight) of cheese and pasta are about the...
Great Gatsby
So I never actually read The Great Gatsby… mostly because I read other things, and never got around to it. Obviously, this means I didn’t have the full high school experience. Whatever. I really want to read it.
And guys… It is on my summer reading list!!!
But ever since everyone started freaking out about it, I’ve innocently heard at least a MILLION times (not an...

Some people have asked to read the commencement address I delivered this morning to the 2013 graduates of Butler University. So here it is.
My own commencement speaker, who shall remain nameless, began with a lame joke about how these speeches only come in two varieties: Short and bad. This…

Thoughtstream Day 4
I am starting to feel happy. Not overjoyed to the point that I want to jump out of my skin. Just… okay. Which is nice. It’s exactly what I want to feel.
This feeling of nonchalant lethargy also makes it difficult to write with vigor. I am okay with this.
Now if I could just get the second interview.
Thoughtstream Day 3
Sometimes I feel like my body is entirely full of stuff. Like Santa’s bag. Like a water balloon under a hose. Like a house on “Hoarders.” Like a really shitty simile that isn’t worth writing.
To be fair, I’m not sure what it’s full of, but I wish I could piss it out, because it fills my lungs and suffocates my neural pathways.
I haven’t left my room today. I...
How I Feel About Being Here
It is strange, the things that give us meaning:
E-mails, Synonyms,
The word ‘yes.’
Books written by ghosts, and
Cold walks home that signify
Your lips on mine.
Symmetry
That only the Russian Soul can understand.
Entrenched folk song dissonance
Trapped in scorched plot.
In this town,
they say the only way to scare a man
Is to tell him that his children will starve.
My,
I’ve...
Thoughtstream Day 2
I’ve started talking to Helen more lately. She’s pretty cool, obsessed with analyzing the seven guys she’s dating, and extremely pessimistic. I like it. Almost as much as I like my use of the Oxford Comma in the previous sentence.
It is quite easy to become obsessive about relationships after all. Dan wasn’t online again today. This is strange. My mind feels like a siren...

You have to know that you are not in control of what happens, or in control of what he does. If he wrongs you, then he wrongs you. And then it is your choice where to go from there. But anticipating something that could happen out of fear will really hold you back. Expecting the worst will only result in the worst. And I know how much you love him.

Moving on
Is not like
Moving forward.
Moving on is falling face first Down a canyon of flail-ridden fucks Not given. (Please.) Past the saxophone man (You’re making a mistake.) And his canyon-loving blues. Until you hi t the ground. Moving forward is sitting in the passenger seat Shoes tapping sole-stained leather compartments. (Hello.) Glancing at a shadow-guzzling sun, A cat ready for...

Engaged!
I am engaged to my best friend, and I couldn’t love his family more.

I’ve never been one to rely on other people for my happiness, but I’m really, really, really ecstatic.

September 11th: thoughts and comparisons
September 11th. So we meet again. Often times, I have been told by international studies majors of the problems plaguing other countries— how the towers falling is, in comparison, quite minuscule, and mostly used to generate hate against “the other.” While I agree that the event has incited massive bouts of hate that are unacceptable in this country, I do not wish to dismerit...

At LEAST wait until midnight when it re-airs, people! Being at work, I didn’t even have a chance!

Life is not for those who settle.

Options, options.
So do I take the Berlin -> Copenhagen -> Amsterdam -> Brussels -> Paris route, or the Berlin -> Nice -> Paris route?
I know I shouldn’t decide too much, BUT I’M SO EXCITED!!!

I haven’t laughed at the internet as hard as I have tonight in a long time.
Thank you, http://wtffanfiction.tumblr.com/, and thank you, Fifty Shades of Grey, for inspiring so much laughery. Which is now a word.

I wish I could describe that performance. Everything was flawless. Emotional. Incredible. Getting a standing ovation at 10 in the morning is not an easy feat. It is not. But I can’t.
