“I had a dream I was trying to exorcise a demon…”
“And I had all this paperwork to fill out…”
“And I had to get the demon to sign the paperwork too…”
*sighs*
“Stupid thing couldn’t even hold a pen correctly.”
Sell anything

I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that. — Lloyd Dobler, Say Anything
Feeling very sick lately of people who seem to base their whole existence on promoting something, or someone, or themselves. Not everything in this world can be bought and sold.
Big wheel

Bicycling has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. — Susan B. Anthony
I bought a new bicycle this weekend and rode it to school today. More inspired than ever to switch to two wheels permanently. It must be the weather.

If you go home with someone, and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them. — John Waters

True dat

I don’t believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there’s one thing that’s dangerous for an artist, it’s precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it. — Frederico Fellini (via kung fu grippe)
Something to ponder

What if all that you had to look forward to were the things that are free, like sunrises, wagging tails, holding hands, and your imagination. Would it all be worth it?
Probably.
What if you could trade-in some of your free stuff for fabulous wealth, fulfilling work, gorgeous looks, or anything else that your heart desired? Would it all be worth it?
Does a bear sleep in the woods? Is the Pope Catholic? Would you like syrup with your French Toast?
Not only are the best things in life free, but you can cash them in for stuff and still have lots left over!

O’Conner had an inner critic
| February 25, 2009 | Filled under Shorts |
When I sit down to write, a monstrous reader looms up who sits down beside me and continually mutters, ‘I don’t get it, I don’t see it, I don’t want it.’ Some writers can ignore this presence, but I have never learned how.
— Flannery O’Conner (via Maud Newton)
