I blogged about prestige vs enthusiasm in life, which some very wise words from people wiser than me.
- Celia: There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy,
- Prospero: Please, no Shakespeare
- Celia: I am haunted by the ghost of my father, I think that should allow me to quote Hamlet as much as I please.
sometimes I forget how much funnier the Harry Potter books are than the movies and then I read shit like
“I dreamed I was playing Quidditch last night,” said Ron. “What d’ya think that’s gonna mean?”
“Probably that you’re going to be eaten by a giant marshmallow or something,” said Harry.”
and choke on my drink
The books really are so much funnier than the movies! This happens with a lot of book adaptations.
“I figured out that I can’t forget. I can’t really forgive. But I can live. Live with it. Like you live with a scar or a limp or whatever. You always know it’s there. It reminds you never to let yourself do anything so stupid and horrible and wrong again. I step out of my rut, step again, and keep stepping.”

I get awkward when someone compliments me and idk what to say
- someone: you look pretty today
- me: happy birthday
“Fan fiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don’t do it for money. That’s not what it’s about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They’re fans, but they’re not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.”
