"I can believe things that are true and things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not.

I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the Beatles and Marilyn Monroe and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen - I believe that people are perfectable, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular basis, nice ones that look like wrinkled lemurs and bad ones who mutilate cattle and want our water and our women.

I believe that the future sucks and I believe that the future rocks and I believe that one day White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick everyone's ass. I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating and that the decline in good sex in America is coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from state to state.

I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste.

I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold like martians in War of the Worlds.

I believe that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one-armed Siberian shaman.

I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumble bee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself.

I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck.

I believe that anyone who says sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too.

I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system.

I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it."

American Gods, Neil Gaiman

Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, “you owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky. -Hafiz

Today I am fine, but tomorrow I may not be. Life is that unpredictable, period.

Maybe the assassin wouldn't spend a plane ticket on him.
Maybe boredom would send the rascal back to livelier climes.
Maybe after a week of this splendid luxury he would hike to the train station and join the assassin in an escape himself.
Fancies, all.

(I don't know if I've posted this one before because I like to reread this book a lot - it's just so good!)
And his head began to feel light and strange. Is this dying? he wondered. Am I dying? Banichi's going to be mad if that's the case.

If you haven't read this book, let alone the series, you need to. She has an AMAZINGLY hilarious writing style, and the story is fun, and the characters are fun, and if you like political science and "aliens" it's fun, and if you like diversity theories, outer space, psychology... it's a fun series, all around :D.

The Moonstone, Wilkie Collins  
Oh, my young friends and fellow-sinners! beware of presuming to exercise your poor carnal reason. Oh, be morally tidy! Let your faith be as your stockings, and your stockings as your faith. Both ever spotless, and both ready to put on at a moment's notice!

We didn't buy any decorations this christmas; everyone's going home so what was the point? Just another waste of money, that's what they all said. But it's just not the same without them. Without walking into the house and smelling a tree, or seeing the lights shimmering. It's those things that get me excited about christmas, and this year we have none of that.


Now you say you love me. Well, just to prove you do, cry me a river. I cried a river over you.
 
 
Drained..I need some intriguing and time consuming websites/games to play on. Entertain me.
