Goodbye!

It was probably obvious from the lack of posts in the last [checks watch] uh, decade, but I am not really here anymore. I’m on Twitter if anyone wants to keep in touch, but I’m just not tuned into Tumblr anymore. Thank you for keeping me in dog memes and nice pictures of sunsets for so long. :)

Nevertheless, he remains a riveting screen presence with a vast emotional range and an endless array of compulsively watchable idiosyncrasies.” - Encyclopedia Britannica

oh my god, it got better. I just went to find an excerpt and

Scott was a man then who looked like a boy with a face between handsome and pretty. He had very fair wavy hair, a high forehead, excited and friendly eyes and a delicate long-lipped Irish mouth that, on a girl, would have been the mouth of a beauty. His chin was well built and he had good ears and a handsome, almost beautiful, unmarked nose. This should not have added up to a pretty face, but that came from the coloring, the very fair hair and the mouth. The mouth worried you until you knew him and then it worried you more.
