    television aesthetics: Veronica Mars “I used to think I knew what tore our family apart. Now I’m sure I don’t. But I promise this: I will find out what really happened, and I will bring this family back together again. I’m sorry, is that mushy? Well, you know what they say. Veronica Mars, she’s a marshmallow.”

‘You all say the nicest things. “You’re so great, you’re so nice,” but none of you want to date me. So you wanna help me, Tommy? Tell me what I do wrong. Tell me why I’m so easy to give up, and then maybe I can fix it. ’

“Who are they?” the Cadet sitting next to him asked. Jude looked at Webb’s face, the grin stretching from ear to ear. “They’re my best friends. I’m going to know them until the day I die.” [1.0]

↳The smartest women in the country… I didn’t realize that by demanding excellence, I would be challenging… what did it say?  The roles you were born to fulfill.  The roles you were born to fulfill?  It’s my mistake.

books read in 2015:   I ‘ L L   G I V E   Y O U   T H E   S U N   by Jandy Nelson

She scoots over so we’re shoulder to shoulder. This is us. Our pose. The smush. It’s even how we are in the ultrasound photo they took of us inside Mom and how I had us in the picture Fry ripped up yesterday. Unlike most everyone else on earth, from the very first cells of us, we were together, we came here together. This is why no one hardly notices that Jude does most of the talking for both of us, why we can only play piano with all four of our hands on the keyboard and not at all alone, why we can never do Rochambeau because not once in thirteen years have we chosen differently. It’s always: two rocks, two papers, two scissors. When I don’t draw us like this, I draw us as half-people.

“This year has been one of the best years I’ve ever had and I might win the uncoolest-person-of-the-year award by saying this, but if you weren’t my friends, I think I’d just go into some kind of coma.”

The sun rises in spite of everything and the far cities are beautiful and bright. I lie here in a riot of sunlight watching the day break and the clouds flying. Everything is going to be all right.

I have lived in important places, times When great events were decided, who owned That half a rood of rock, a no-man’s land Surrounded by our pitchfork-armed claims. I heard the Duffys shouting “Damn your soul!” And old McCabe stripped to the waist, seen Step the plot defying blue cast-steel - “Here is the march along these iron stones.” That was the year of the Munich bother. Which Was more important? I inclined To lose my faith in Ballyrush and Gortin Till Homer’s ghost came whispering to my mind. He said: I made the Iliad from such A local row. Gods make their own importance.
