“Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are.”

Seeing At 1:45... with Than and Anthony? Hahahaha

Hydriotaphia and The Garden of Cyrus and Sir Thomas Browne= Information Overload.

The only thing I am absolutely positive about my future is that if I ever have a kid (which I'm not sure about) and it's a girl (which I'm also not sure about, obviously) then she will be named Adelina. That name is the only thing I'm sure about.

I just thought that was weird. And sort of sad. But funny at the same time.

Woe. For Christmas I will be receiving books I already own from the extended family.

The Books that have an x I most likely own. The ones in black all the way at the end I most definitely do not own.

Better late than never.

"The spider had legs like black licorice. I love licorice. The spider said,

"Come into my web. I am smarter and better. I will think for you. Stop thinking. I will take care of you."

So I went in. The blinding white was like snow. I love snow. I was happy. Soon I started to become numb from the cold, I didn't really mind. Something started happening though. All the white turned red. Like blood. I hate blood. I was scared, but I couldn't move.

I cried.

The spider laughed.
