Nearer to twenty than thirty. A little more up than down.

I´ve always had a very unhealthy relationship with sports: I just couldn´t see the point of been made to do rough games when I could have been inside reading books or talking about horror films

I met Ian online. He spelled everything so well – I said to myself: “This is the man for me.” We spent most of our first chat talking grammar. I knew I wanted to see him again.
Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being “in love”, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.

Then again, why would one want to regret any second of one’s life? It’s all been important seconds, shaping one into the person that exists today. Good and bad seconds will always be coming our way, but the good ones will come by without us thinking about them and the bad ones makes our stronger, because afterwards come the good ones again.
The #252nd rule of a living human being.
Amy [Poehler] was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can’t remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and ‘unladylike.’
Jimmy Fallon, who was arguably the star of the show at the time, turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, ‘Stop that! It’s not cute! I don’t like it.’
Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. ‘I don’t fucking care if you like it.’ Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit. I should make it clear that Jimmy and Amy are very good friends and there was never any real beef between them. (Insert penis joke here.)
With that exchange, a comic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn’t there to be cute. She wasn’t there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys’ scenes. She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it.

Hell yes, women aren’t supposed to be there as completing characters to the men’s, they can be stand-alones and awesome just by themselves.
No means no even if you said yes at first and you changed your mind.

BIDEN FOR THE WIN. The Republicans and the media can SHUT THE FUCK UP about his gaffes. I think that statement more than makes up for it!
