“And he had always been the same moody and morose lounger there. When he cared to talk, he talked well; but, the cloud of caring for nothing, which overshadowed him with such a fatal darkness, was very rarely pierced by the light within him.”
I’m having a FABULOUS day. Anyone else having a great day?
This is one of those days when you just want to jump around and be happy. I am just SO excited. I don’t even know why.
Anyone have those times? It’s like. Sure. You tried to shoot me. BUT GUESS WHAT. I HAD FREAKING CHAIN MAIL ON UNDERNEATH MY GORGEOUS SHIRT. That doesn’t even make sense, but that doesn’t matter ’cause your light saber was also out of batteries.
Plus, (and this GIF better work)
(Update-If the GIF doesn’t show on your computer click it and it’ll open)
I LOVE YOU.
My day was BOSCHNESS!
AHHHHHHHH DR HORRIBLE!
——————————————-
Yeah. I had one of those days yesterday, like- you think you’re bringing me down? Well, you ain’t gon’ bring me down! NOTHING brings the Ninlerfish down!
and then I reread LFA.
Hem… I wish I could join in on your invincibility. I’m just meh.
SOMEONE CHIPPED MY FREAKING TARDIS.
OH MY BOSCH!!! That’s horribly tragic. How are you doing over that?
Zap them with a sonic screwdriver. 
OH NO.
There’s only one thing I can say, Robin. Good luck. *nods*
I literally said “YOU SHOT MY TARDIS! WHY DID YOU SHOOT MY TARDIS?!”
{Catch the Let’s Kill Hitler reference?}
I’m terribly sorry for my lack of thoughtful posts, but I am currently too stressed to be thoughtful.
So I present you with this because it is fabulous and everyone deserves to listen to it.
“Life’s hard. It’s even harder when you’re stupid.”-John Wayne
Days like today make me realize just how lucky we are to not be stupid.
And that is your cynical blog post of the day.
On a happier(ish) note, I want opinions today. Who’s waiting for this person? Who feels like they don’t need this person right now? Who feels like they have this person already?:
“Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown again into instant flame by an encounter with another human being.”-Albert Schweitzer
And, I’d also like to know your opinions on something else, as well. When we say “I don’t care”, do we actually care? Are there times we care, and times we don’t? I’d say I’d agree with that latter option. I think there are times we say “I don’t care” in order to convince ourselves that it doesn’t matter to us, and I think there are times we really truly don’t give a rubbish bin. Thoughts?

“You do care. You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.” ‘-J.K. Rowling
Hmm, that’s an interesting quote. I don’t really believe in something like that. It’s more gradual.
I LOVE the J.K. Rowling quote. So much.
Uhm…I shall answer your questions and give you my precious opinions, Robin. 
Who’s waiting for this person?
I think we all are.
Who feels like they don’t need this person right now?
It depends on who the person is. To be honest, I have half the idea of what it means. Well, I guess I could live without “this person”…You know what, actually, I couldn’t. Legit.
Who feels like they have this person already?
OH! PICK ON ME! I DO! *WAVES ARM AROUND* 
I have “this person.” I think I do. Reading that quote…Yeah, I’m pretty sure I do. But it’s kinda impossible because most of my friends don’t…they make it all sunshine and icky humidity…While “this person” is supposed to make it rainy and lovely and it’ssoperfectoutsidethaticouldcurlupwithabookandnotmindanythinginthewholeworld, right? or even better. raininginNarniacurledupwithabooknotmindinganythinginthewholeworld, right?
If that’s the case, then yeah. Though sometimes…rarely…I feel a bit of sunlight shine through the big window in front of me. *i’mcrazyiknow*
Jenny, you are, often, the most brilliant of all of us.
I applaud you for realizing your person doesn’t have to be a lovey relationship.
OHMIGOSH ROBIN JUST SAID I WAS BRILLIANT.
Thank you. I’m not a big fan of lovey relationships. I’m always like, “Okay, let’s move on and let them live their own life without us having to talk about so and so make such a good couple.”
doesn’tmeanican’ttalkaboutgoodlookingpeopleNINANOCOMMENTfinndoesn’tcountidecidedalready.
See, I don’t care. I may be incredibly inexperienced in this (i am) but I don’t think there’s really a difference between “lovey relationship” and “bestfriendsforeverrelatioship” Also, people do it all wrong. Dumping? YOU DON’T DUMP FRIENDS. And asking out. Just all of it is ridiculous.
Ah. I’m destined to live with that person being myself.
P.S. Jenny- may I ask who is this person?
Nina. You pestered me most of the morning about who “this person” was. No, I am not going to say who. Because, honestly, I have more than one person who makes it rain in my mind. Plus, I haven’t met the whole world yet, so I’m not even sure if I have met “this person.” So there you go.
So, as it seems this week’s theme is music-(it began with SD’s girl crush on Cher Lloyd)-I have some more mainstream pop to bring you.
However, this is different.
I don’t really give a rubbish bin about what you think about P!nk or FUN. To be honest, I think both of them are fairly mediocre-not the best music, but better than a lot of what’s on the radio.
Despite these opinions, the new P!nk song featuring Nate Ruess of FUN deserves at least one listen from everyone.
It is by far the best thing either of them has produced, and whoever the poor writer is needs some serious kudos because the melody with the syncopation is freaking awesome.
I like P!nk… She’s empowering.
And yes, this song is amaaaazing.
I love Fun. Ever heard All Alone?
I fell in love with a wind-up souvenir…
bought her downtown as I was on my way to meet you
She sounds like the songs, you used to sing to put me to sleep.
But now that you’re gone
she’s all that I’ve left to hold….
AND I FEEL SO ALL ALLLLLLLLOOOOONE
NO ONE’S GONNA FIX ME WHEN I’M BROKE!
etcetera.
epic song
You know, ironically, I learned about P!nk from my dad and fun. from my mom. I think they’re both “fairly good.” 4 out of 5 stars.
SD HAS A GIRL CRUSH ON CHER LLOYD!
OH!!! SO THAT’S WHAT HER NAME IS!!!
No I don’t.
I have a good 30 girl crushes.
Cher Lloyd is not one of them.
DENIAL! DENIAL! DENIAL!
http://cdn.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/max-blum-denial.gif
HAHAHAHAH !! I Love that song ! I can’t believe SD has a crush on them ! peace. ^^
I like that song too.
Don’t have a crush on her. xD
I kinda think the song is annoying, too.
Robin just posted this ’cause she hates me.
I don’t think Robin hates you. Just saying.
I have girl crushes: Tori, SD, Robin (Yes, I know. I like her attitude), Anna Popplewell, Georgie Henley (I think I spelled her last name correctly), Jocee (http://thecupcakedictionary.blogspot.com/), Abby (http://followinggodeveryday.blogspot.com/), Sierra (she’s always so likeable by everyone), Marguerite (i love how she dresses, okay…i’d be so scared about what people think if i dressed like her…which is the problem! i’m so un-brave! yet i talk normally…not shy (anymore)…but not brave, either. huff.) And that’s probably it. I love people who inspire me.
Why is my comment awaiting moderation? *sniffle* I think it’s because I forgot about it and left it in the reply box for so long…?
1) She does she’s just in denial.
2) She has a closet love of Cher Lloyd that she’d only told me about.
3) I blackmailed her and now the secret’s out.
Okay, dude, that’s gone a little too far. I really don’t like Cher Lloyd.
Okay, when did the term “girl crush” come into existence, and WHY?
It’s been around since Jenna Marbles made that video… It’s basically for girls who aren’t bi or pansexual but still have the occasional crush on a girl. There’s like the stage 1 which is–I forgot–want to be friends with you? And then there’s stage 2 which is I want to be you. Stage three is like the “MARRY ME” stage.
“There’s a stain, there’s a stain, there’s a stain on the floor….
I wanna soak, wanna scrub, wanna clean it, and more”
Why does having a bad day only increase my need to clean everything?! Why why why why why why crap I’m really incoherent today whhhhyyy
I don’t know. When I have a bad day I need to watch really disturbing movies and read Why We Broke Up or something.
Why would you… clean.. when you have a bad day?
I DON’T KNOW, PAPERCLIP! x)
I think that’s why Robin asked ‘Why.’
When I’m having a bad day, I lie down on the floor, listen to fix you, cry, and try to convince my brain that the whole world is upside down and that gravity is actually pulling me in the direction that we think of as up.
True story.
Cry?! Ewwww. I can’t cry.
Why is it that the plural of “goose” “geese”, but the plural of “mongoose” is “mongooses”?!
I LOVE THE ARISTOCATS
Why can’t it be mongeese? 
Abigail and Amelia. BEST GEESE EVER.
I’ve practically memorized the Aristocats movie.

Before I even start this I have to say I’m feeling awful, so everything will be ten times more boring and also ten times more opinionated. And I will be ten times more vehement and easily offended. Deal with it.
This has been a prominent topic in my life for as long as I can remember. My oldest brother came home from college for break at age 18 with his first cartilage piercing, sort of inside his ear. I was around 6 years old.
My middle brother was in highschool, probably age 16, when he got his lobes pierced. He went to the same Catholic highschool I do now, and the dress code prohibits all piercings for boys and everything but lobes for girls. My brother went through the 6 weeks of healing time when you can’t take the earrings out with band aids on his ears to cover it up. Teacher let it go.
Somewhere around when he was 19 or so the middle brother stretched his ears-yes. He has “big ears”. By then the oldest had a fair amount of tattoos.
Today, the oldest brother has studs in both his lobes, and a cartilage piercing. He also has almost full tattoo sleeves.
The middle brother has a nose stud, “big ears”, and his fair share of tattoos-albeit more hidden ones.
I hear a lot of talk about opinions on body piercings and tattoos.
One of the most asked questions is “Why would someone do that?” You recall our talk on outside appearance and how we change it to attract attention to feed our animal need for human interaction and relationships. It’s the same idea at work here. People get tattoos or piercings to be noticed and feel confident in how they look.
Today I’d like to talk about how the area someone lives in affects their views on this topic. I live in a town of fairly well-to-do middle class citizens. I would say a good 70% are white. I would go so far as to say a good 55% are Catholic, or at least Christian. Quite a few are Republican…To put it in short, they’re conservative and fairly traditional. So usually when someone sees one of my brothers they’re like “Ohmygod! You’re brother has…tattoos?!” It’s like it’s some foreign concept. We tend to be very sheltered, which leads us to be skeptical of outside ideas.
However, if you go up to the city where my middle brother lives, everyone has tattoos or piercings.The community is young, with a few colleges around the boarders. The place is full of up-and-coming musicians and indie art galleries. The people are young and open to ideas. They’re open to the idea of using the skin as a canvas. It’s a fact that as people get older they become less likely to be open to change. They’re used to things the way they are and change makes them nervous. What if their entire world were to change? They’d be lost. So I think these young people are more open to new ideas. Which is why they’re so much more accepting of people with tattoos or piercings.
Another thing about this topic I feel the need to bring up is very important. Some of my closest friends have said to me “People with tattoos are scary. They’re all criminals”. Or, “I don’t like people with stretched ear lobes. They’re dumber than everyone else”. Of course, they said this before they had ever seen my brothers, but still, I find the ignorance incredible. Just because they were raised with the idea that girls can have piercings and tattoos are for “scary” people, they automatically accept these stereotypes and build their opinions off of them. My brothers are some of the most intelligent people I know. Both of them have steady jobs and are happy with life. Neither of them have criminal records, because they’re not criminals.
This is only one topic where we see the blind biased of people. When we’re raised to think something, most of us don’t even bother to question it. When something is different to us, we are hesitant to accept it. We jump to these conclusions with mere moments of consideration.
As a race we need to work on this. It’s sad to see how ignorant people can be, and think they’re right.
“Once you label me you negate me”
“Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.”
“My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story.”
“Tattoos are a right of passage. They’re a marker of bravery, of maturity, of cultural acceptance. The tattoo represents not only a willingness to accept pain – to endure it – but a need to actively embrace it. Because life is painful – beautiful but painful…….”
“Ink to paper is thoughtful
Ink to flesh, hard-core.
If Shakespeare were a tattooist
We’d appreciate body art more.”
I told you you weren’t gonna like this post. I told you I was having a bad day. I told you. But you never listen, do you?
God this is so poorly written.
I just want to know one thing: It’s not JUST because your brother has them, that you want to get tattoos or whatever, right? Because I would probably be giving you a speech right now, Robin, if that was the case. But it’s probably not, since you’re saying you have a reason.
1) I’m not even interested in tattoos currently. They look painful and I’m not sure I’ll ever really want one. It’s just sad to see people who are set on having opinions on people with tattoos based on their upbringing and society stereotypes.
2) I’d like whatever cartilage piercings I may end up with for the same reason everyone else changes their appearances-I want to be completely stoked about how I look.
Hm… I can understand tattoos. Actually, I would probably get vines or something cool up my arms if I weren’t so agliophobic and if it wouldn’t completely change the way people see me as a person. But stretched earlobes… really? It just looks so painful to me. It seems to me to be unnecessary and not at all attractive. I just don’t get it AT ALL. Even after this whole explanation. It’s like constant pain. Like braces, except there’s no way it’s beneficial to your health, and it’s permanent. I don’t think people with stretched ears are “dumb,” and I try not to be biased, but even if it’s “normal” for them, what’s the point?
It’s actually not permanent for most people. Unless you stretch your lobes to a point where the cartilage cannot heal-which is a very large point that most people don’t hit.
It’s the same reason people straighten their hair and such. They think it looks good on them and they want to feel confident in how the look. They want to be noticed. Also, it’s almost a kind of art form in the fact that a lot of plugs are really gorgeous-made of blown glass and stuff. I don’t personally claim to understand it fully either, but I try to be open minded to the idea.
(Also, it doesn’t hurt much worse than getting your lobes pierced, from what the middle brother said. Tattoos are certainly more painful.)
Personally, I think stretched earlobes look funny.
“Not funny haha, funny peculiar” (100000 awesomeness points if you can get that quote. I doubt anyone will.)
I think tattoos look okay. And any piercings are okay as well- except I don’t get tongue piercings.
See, that’s what I was trying to bring up-How we automatically think anything that’s different is “funny” or “weird” and such. Especially based on how we were raised.
