“My goal in life is not fame or fortune. It is simply to one day own a library...”

andwearebasiclife said: Haha I knew that would be a hard question, but those are amazing lyrics. I’m trying to pick my favourite lyric to get put in a necklace but it’s hard
It is really so difficult. That sounds like a great idea though. I’m sure it would be worth all the debate when it’s finished.

Okay, for the last time this year.
Does anyone want to ask me anything?

“I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn’t deserve it. Because...”
– Augusten Burroughs, Running With Scissors (via fleurishes)
I really loved this book so much.
Anonymous asked: Dear figment, last I wrote you it was before Christmas and I've noticed that the holidays have not been exactly kind. Every time I get sad during the holidays (which is easy without Christmas in my family) I like to think that every snowflake is a person, and when they fall on you its like the world is in a massive dogpile with you at the bottom, laughing and screaming. And if it isn't...

The Guardian: Everyone remarks on your age and how your music feels like it's been written by someone much older. Do you feel 21?
Laura Marling: I feel increasingly like age is very irrelevant. Quite often, cynicism is confused with wisdom, and my scorn is confused with a knowing, which I don't have.

n. fear that learning the name of something—a bird, a constellation, an attractive stranger—will somehow ruin it, transforming a lucky discovery into a conceptual husk pinned in a glass case, which leaves one less mystery to flutter around your head, trying to get in.

“Avoid the flourish. Do not be afraid to be weak. Do not be ashamed to be tired....”
– Leonard Cohen (via blua)
up in the woods, down on my mind.
Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you, the 2012...
Michelle Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter that he claims to have not written but was still published under his name)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "We should replace bilingual education with immersion in English so people learn the common language of the country and they learn the language of prosperity, not the language of living in a ghetto." (2007)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)

Going to go to a Thai restaurant this afternoon. Most likely getting pad Thai. And maybe fried tofu. I’m seriously so excited.
