| Bio: | I am many things. Writer. Fangirl. NPR listener. Liberal. Anti-war supporter. Ardent pro-choicer. Extremely against the death penalty. Big-time cusser. Avid discusser of things that are age-eighteen-and-over-only appropriate. But in my world, it really all comes down to my first and truest love: CHEESE. *waves* Hi. *  * "America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say, You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours. You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can't just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the 'land of the free.'" - Andrew Shepherd, The American President * "Top five things I miss about Laura. One: sense of humor. Very dry, but it can also be warm and forgiving. And she's got one of the best all time laughs in the history of all time laughs, she laughs with her entire body. Two: she's got character. Or at least she had character before the Ian nightmare. She's loyal and honest, and she doesn't even take it out on people when she's having a bad day. That's character. Three: I miss her smell, and the way she tastes. It's a mystery of human chemistry and I don't understand it, some people, as far as your senses are concerned, just feel like home. [Four:] I really dig how she walks around. It's like she doesn't care how she looks or what she projects and it's not that she doesn't care it's just, she's not affected I guess, and that gives her grace. And five: she does this thing in bed when she can't get to sleep, she kinda half moans and then rubs her feet together an equal number of times... it just kills me. Believe me, I mean, I could do a top five things about her that drive me crazy but it's just your garden variety women, you know, schizo stuff and that's the kind of thing that got me here." - Rob Gordon, High Fidelity * "You have about as much chance of going out with Penny as the Hubble Telescope has of finding that at the center of each black hole there's a little man with a flashlight trying to find the circuit breaker." - Sheldon Cooper, The Big Bang Theory * "It didn't matter in the end how old they had been, or that they were girls, but only that we had loved them and that they hadn't heard us calling, still do not hear us, up here in the tree house, with our thinning hair and soft bellies, calling them out of those rooms where they went to be alone for all time, alone in suicide, which is deeper than death, and where we will never find the pieces to put them back together." - from The Virgin Suicides, Jeffrey Eugenides * "Are you happy here?" I said at last. He considered this for a moment. "Not particularly," he said. "But you're not very happy where you are, either." St. Basil's, in Moscow. Chartres. Salisbury and Amiens. He glanced at his watch. "I hope you'll excuse me," he said, "but I'm late for an appointment." He turned from me and walked away. I watched his back receding down the long, gleaming hall. - from The Secret History, Donna Tartt * "She shook her head from side to side, trying to think of something to say. The sun was shining through the leaves, dappling Tristan's face. She could look at him now. Turned towards her, he was squinting against the light, and that made it even more acceptable. Rory studied the softness and vulnerability of his mouth, the underlying tenseness that was almost abhorrent. She watched it turn down at the corners, watched little lines crease his forehead as he frowned. And he was too beautiful for breath, but she stared at him until the ache in her chest became painful and she forced herself to inhale. The sudden knowledge of how young he was, they both were, how easy to wound, was far more shocking than it had any right to be; all she knew was that she didn't want that look on his face to be because of her. She wanted a chance, the chance to look after him, and keep him safe, even from herself. And she didn't know what would happen; they were still angry, and hurt, and she thought that maybe they'd take it out on each other and they'd end up hating each other like they never had, like they should never have to when he could make her feel like this right now. And as she watched the kiss approach, felt its inevitability, and then the first gentle pressure of lips, and warm breath pushed into her mouth, she realised that she was the one who'd moved." - from Gone, Hito * "In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless, in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man’s proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours. But to win it requires your total dedication and a total break with the world of your past; with the doctrine that man is a sacrificial animal who exists for the pleasure of others. Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence of that which is man: for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the Morality of Life." - Ayn Rand (nevermind the fact that the woman was a complete and total loon - I FLOVE THIS QUOTE) * "You can't ride two horses with one ass, sugarbean." - Earl Smooter, Sweet Home Alabama * My Fine Art moodtheme was created by ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} girlboheme.
