Don't You Evah
By Spoon
Don't You Evah

I am jealous of English majors.
Why?
Because I want to be one.
I want to quote Chaucer at random people on the street and have intelligent conversations about why Jay Gatsby wears pink suits.
To me, the English major is the epitome of cool and chic.
They manage to be unflinchingly adorable just by existing.
And let's face it, big words are sexy.
Grr.

All These Things That I Have Done

Hello my internet loves.
As everybody who is mildly acquainted with me knows, I love to read. Those armed with this knowledge likely won't be surprised when I announce my plans for my next tattoo.The inspiration for this one comes from none other than the famous wordsmith himself, J.R.R. Tolkien. It is my intention to have 'Not all those who wander are lost' inscribed on my foot in Elvish. Thoughts?

The quote is a fraction of a longer quote from the Fellowship of the Ring, here:
'All that is gold does not glitter, not all who wander are lost, the old that are strong do not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring, renewed shall be blade that is broken, the crownless again shall be king.'

J.R.R Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Edit: A pic of the script I'd like to use.
Not all those who wander are lost

Dreaming Through the Noise

Urk. I'm fucked.
My parents know there's no way I'm going to come up with 400$ by the end of the month short of selling myself on a street corner so my dad offered me assistance (my mum's too busy gloating on the inside - she likes to see me crash and burn when I try to be independent) but the offer actually makes it worse. I hate having to accept assistance when I feel I ought to be able to handle a situation by myself. It makes me a less than adequate human being because other people in harsher situations are rising above them. Here I am coasting along and the moment something goes badly wrong in my world I'm unable to handle it. Ouch. Way to go Scruffy. Life gives you a 1.5 out of 10 for being a loser.
In other news: I have a big sign that says 'DON'T HIRE ME' attached to my forehead. It's invisible to me but for potential employers it's in neon flashing lights with a parrot drinking a martini beside it.

Sorry to be a downer. Just had to vent a bit.

When The Haar Rolls In
By James Yorkston

What are three things or events that have made you who you are today?

1) Conception
2) Gestation
3) Birth

And voila. C'est moi.

On tangents: This is vaguely creepy/cool. I love it. So should you.

Hail to the Thief

I want to scream and cry and punch something. One of my friend's birthdays is Thursday and I was going to make her a cake and bring it in to class on Tuesday (it's conversation day and some other guy is bringing rice) and we were going to eat in chocolate sugar coated revelry but now she's gotten ill, won't be there and I have 20$ of bittersweet chocolate in my cabinet, four layers of meringue in my oven and about a gallon of ganauche in my fridge. DAMN DISEASES! I CURSE YOU!

I hate having my happiness be dependent on other people because then they leave and suddenly I'm not happy. It's very uncomfortable and inconvenient. And I wish the people I like would stick around more and the people I'm not fond of would leave me alone. And I wish for a pony and a plastic rocket.

I'm going to pick up a pint of Ben & Jerry's on the way home from work to console myself.

Muchos love from a very disgruntled,
-Scruffy
