“All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling.”
—Oscar Wilde (via libraryland)
Sending you hugs because this I DON'T DO SADNESS NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT kind of mood not so lovely and I'm sorry you are having that kind of mood too.

I got 3 sentences into a sad blog and I had to skip over it in my Google Reader.
I really just can’t handle sad tonight.
I’ve been feeling like this lately.

JUST WHAT I NEEDED
Tumblr is a little too SERIOUS and DRAMA FILLED right now.
Gonna go watch a movie.
Here’s a GIF to keep you all company.
from tumblr crushes:

welp.
“When people tell you stuff, very often it comes out real stilted. If you just write down exactly what they said. And so you sort of have to rewrite it so it sounds more out-loud, which I think means putting in some ‘likes’ or taking out some punctuation that the person might originally have said. And I don’t really make any apologies for that.”

David Foster Wallace, on a fiction writer doing non-fiction.
This is crazy. Who are these people he’s talking to, who need more ‘likes’ put into their speech? It makes me think of something Chuck Klosterman told me when I interviewed him back in university: if you don’t make a point of tidying up the quotes people give you for print, everyone—authors, politicians, whoever—will come out sounding like Ashlee Simpson.

I agree with David, actually. Sometimes you have to enhance speech to sound more genuine, something Wallace as well as Dave Eggers do pretty well.
laughing at you all
It's really weird when you realise that, like, you're you
Like, I am me right now and no one else is
Only I can see what I see
No one else knows what it’s like to be me
It’s weird, like, omg i’m me and i’m alive and what not
Apparently I get philosophical at 4 in the morning
I am not me.
I
am
PIZZA.
As awkward as it was, I'm glad I follow you haha. You entertain me.
In other news I watched all of the HP movies between Thursday and Saturday, and I'm seeing HP7 again tomorrow :D
I’m glad my tumblr is of some use :D
I’ve watched HP7 twice so far and I need to see it again soon!
So many times in Chamber of Secrets, 'was' is used instead of 'were'.
It’s not right. It’s not right.
I think it’s mostly in dialogue. I’ve been rereading DH and in the beginning there is a correct subjunctive in the narration, but later on in conversation Ron or someone says “was” instead.

I want to write a novel about shadows.
is there nowhere in the universe where you can get a hardcover copy of the great gatsby with the original cover art?
EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION ON THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PREMIERE IN NYC (Provided by my cousin, the Warner Bros. intern)
- The after party was in an assortment of tents, made to look like Bill and Fleur’s wedding.
- There were seperate tents for candy, video games (including the new Kinect, which featured the Harry Potter 7 video game), and other activities.
- My cousin was invited because she is an intern at Warner Bros. Unfortunately, she “forgot” to invite me.
- Since she didn’t know many of the people there, my cousin sat alone at one of the tables. Seeing her alone, Emma Watson came over and asked her to dance with her. They danced to one song, then Whip My Hair came on and Emma yelled, “BUT I HAVE NO HAIR!!!!” Meanwhile, Tom and Dan were having a hair-whipping contest. Dan won.
- Sitting alone at her table again, Darren Criss, another loner at the party, came over. He said he really wanted to talk to Dan but could decide what to say to him. Together, they went to talk to Dan, who, on seeing Darren, exclaimed, “You’re Harry Potter!”
- Darren also talked to Tom Felton for a few minutes. When he turned away, he looked about to faint from excitement.
- One fan that came was in a dress she had made to look like the one Hermione wears at the wedding in the movie.
- Another fan was wearing Slytherin’s Locket from Hot Topic. Dan went over to her, told her she’d have more fun if she wasn’t wearing it, and took it off. Laughing, he signed it for her and gave it back.
- According to my cousin, Tom is definitely the nicest, Dan is the funniest, Emma is the sweetest, and Darren is the strangest person she will ever meet.
Hair-whipping contest. Dan saying Darren is HP. I CAN’T— SO ENVIOUS RN
WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT
I AM CRYING OF ENVY
I died from reading this. Why can’t I meet these people? I mean, hell. Dan. You are fucking adorable.
If Dan said that to Darren. Does that mean he saw AVPM?
Wow, the actual premiere stuff sounds a lot less shitty than the active-traffic ridden red carpet.

No but really
I liked the focus on the Obliviate’s, as unexpected as it was. And the track “Obliviate” from the soundtrack is one of my favorites ever from an HP soundtrack!
