The sketchbook incident

Holy shit. That was awesome. I was mostly indifferent to Noah before now, but DAMN. That was amazing kindness. "My girl is talented"... "Now, get the fuck off me". I love seeing people who get off on cruelty get put in their place. That was some quick thinking on his part, too. Guy just strapped himself to a rocket ship to soar towards the top of my favorite male leads. This book is really good so far.

Marya

I watched the BBC War and Peace from 2016 recently and loved it. I was especially struck by how much I fell in love with Marya. I can't even spell out exactly why. Jessie Buckley did such a good job though.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to do silly, frivolous things that serve no other purpose than making you happy.

"democracts always say that this election is the most important one yet" yes because we're in the flaggy bit of the history book that could either end with "end of american democracy, lead up to war world iii" or "tensions fizzle, beginning of post trump restoration" depending on how you vote. like every election since 2016 has been "the most important election yet" because trump won in 2016 and trump has made his desire to be a dictator clear.

in fact, i don't think 2008 or 2012 were given the same weight of "this is the most important election ever" because we were not living in the dangerous time of a dictator literally trying to take over the united states

Herograystairs

I read The Infernal Devices years ago and I had forgotten how much I loved it. Tessa, Jem, and Will are the best love triangle I've ever read.

To be born in another time, any era but our own would’ve been fine. 100 years from now, 1000 years from now, some other distant, different, time. one without demons, cowards and vampires out for blood, one with the positive inspiration to foster what is good. an empty field where no tall red poppies are cut down, where we could lay all day, every day, on the warm and subtle ground, and know just what to say and what to play to conjure our own sounds. and be one with the others all around us, and even still the ones who came before, and help ourselves to all their love, and pass it on again once more. to have bliss upon bliss upon bliss, to be without fear, negativity or pain, and to get up every morning, and be happy to do it all again.

cryptotheism

I have become a regular at the local cafe. I sit at the lunch counter with my laptop to write. The workers keep me updated on all the tea.

Barista: Oh god here he comes.

Me: who?

Barista: White Ferrari guy. Hes banned from the other cafe. All he ever does is tell the same stories about the pyramids. Or ghosts. Or his car. Don't make eye contact with him. If he talks to you he won't leave you alone- Hi hello welcome!

cryptotheism

I almost immediately accidentally made eye contact with him. He practically beelined to the chair next to me, and stares at my notebook. The vibe is immediately strange. I understand why he was banned from the other cafe.

White Ferrari Guy: What're you writing?

Me: (fuck it) I'm developing a script!

WFG: A what?

Me: A script. I'm developing an alternate script for the international phonetic alphabet. My goal is to make it one grapheme represent a single syllable, rather than one grapheme per phoneme. I'm happy with the consonants, but the vowels still need work. I'm experimenting with kerning based on Georgian script-

I look up, he is staring past me completely dead-eyed. He could not be less interested in what I'm saying. He leaves about a minute later.
