SOOO excited. I have a real job with hours and everything! Half the places I’ve applied to said they’ll call me for an interview/call me in a few weeks when they need me and then nada. But I legit have a schedule and I’m working on the beach ($9 an hour bitches) and at the counter (minimum wage but who gives a shit because $$$).
If you are a student you should always get a good nights sleep unless you have come to the good part of your book, and then you should stay up all night and let your schoolwork fall by the wayside, a phrase which means ‘flunk’.
Lemony Snicket (via nostorybook)
I just realized (after I finished reading a book) that I’ve read 13 books over the last 11 days. None of them were terribly long or complicated, but damn.
It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. -Samwise Gamgee
YOU HAVEN’T COME OUT OF THERE IN ALMOST TWO DAYS. YOU SMELL FUNNY. YOUR EYES ARE AS RED AS MY EX’S PENIS. YOUR CRYING KEEPS THE NEIGHBORS AWAKE, AND THERE ARE ENOUGH KLEENEX ON THE FLOOR TO REVERSE ENGINEER A TREE, NOT TO MENTION YOU NEED TO GO TO WORK IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD HBO.
LOOK, I LIKED RENLY TOO, OKAY? HE WOULD HAVE MADE A PRETTY GOOD KING, BUT YOU’VE GOT TO MOVE ON. THIS ISN’T HEALTHY.

For the confusèd among you.
Old English (Anglo-Saxon): Eft he axode, hu ðære ðeode nama wære þe hi of comon. Him wæs geandwyrd, þæt hi Angle genemnode wæron. Þa cwæð he, "Rihtlice hi sind Angle gehatene, for ðan ðe hi engla wlite habbað, and swilcum gedafenað þæt hi on heofonum engla geferan beon."
Middle English: In þat lond ben trees þat beren wolle, as þogh it were of scheep; whereof men maken clothes, and all þing þat may ben made of wolle. In þat contree ben many ipotaynes, þat dwellen som tyme in the water, and somtyme on the lond: and þei ben half man and half hors, as I haue seyd before; and þei eten men, whan þei may take hem.
Early Modern English: But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she Be not her maid, since she is envious; Her vestal livery is but sick and green And none but fools do wear it; cast it off. It is my lady, O, it is my love!
Modern English: Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.
