“Alaska finished her cigarette and flicked it into the river.‘Why do you smoke so damn fast?’ I asked.She looked at me and smiled widely, and such a wide smile on her narrow face might have looked goofy were it not for the unimpeachably elegant green in her eyes. She smiled with all the delight of a kid on Christmas morning and said, ‘Y’all smoke to enjoy it. I smoke to die.”

“hank, i didn’t see the harry potter on midnight of opening day like you did, but i went to see it last night with the yeti and we were sitting there, like, thirty minutes before it started and the theater was filling up and i was like, ‘i am so excited about the harry potter movie! i get to see luna lovegood and i’m gonna’ cry at the end.’ and then i really liked the movie because it was funny, but it was also sad, and it didn’t tell destructive lies about teenage sexuality like some other movies i’ve seen recently. and ron weasley has gotten so buff. i mean, hank, the movie was great, but the thirty minutes before the movie started was what i love about being a nerd. because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. we don’t have to be like, ‘oh yeah, that purse is okay’ or like, ‘yeah, i liked that band’s early stuff.’ nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff,’ which is just not a good insult at all. like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness.’”

I mean, like, I think clarity in written language is valuable, but debating the Oxford Comma is one of those things that reminds me that we’re all going to die and that our lives are composed of, like, a finite set of moments that we choose how to spend. And can’t help but think that if we turn the massive parallel processing power of our brain away from debating the Oxford Comma and toward, like, curing malaria or writing really good Arrested Development slash fiction, we might come out ahead as a species.

I just saw New Moon the movie and to be honest I thought it was kind of stupid, but it reminded me of what I really do like about Twilight: it’s fun, it distracts me from the pain and brokenness of the world, and it argues that true love will triumph in the end - which may or may not be true, but if it’s a lie, then it’s the most beautiful lie we have.

I’ll give it that. Nothing else, no other concessions, but I will give it that. 

I sing of time, concealer and revelator, time which will rejoin you to the dead, time which like water destroys all that it nourishes.
