Guy: I'm a cute gay guy at NYU. I'm doing just fine, darling!
Girl: I'm a straight girl at NYU. I go through a lot of vibrators.

--Starbucks, Washington Square

Don't give up! There are cute straight boys to be had at NYU - I found one!

CHUCK; How can I help you…?
SARAH; Sarah.
CHUCK; Sarah.
She taught Chuck how to be a secret agent. Now, just when he’s getting good at it…
SARAH; You can do anything.
He’s got a tough choice. To be a hero…
CHUCK; Really important people told me that I could change the world.
Or to be with the one he loves.
CHUCK; What are you saying?
SARAH; Will you run away with me?

Chuck, s3 promo

I love the show and I’m excited about it returning but this promo raised my fangirl score to a whole new level. Just, it honestly took my breath away. I had to picspam the whole thing. Need to re-watch the first two seasons now to get ready for the third!

GAH I FEEL LIKE I CANNOT WAIT ANOTHER MOMENT.

SERIOUSLY. KILLING. ME.

OH DEAR LORD, THIS SHOW IS TURNING ME INTO A BLUBBERING MESS.

OMG.

Now playing in the kitchen cinema.

It’s imperative that A Christmas Story always be on in the background, but never watched through in its entirety in one sitting or in the correct chronological order.

This is an essential part of Christmas in the criticalmess household.

“If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of The Elements of Style. The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they’re happy.”

George Carlin on abortion and “pro-lifers.”

I’m continuously amazed at how his mind worked. RIP.

I love pure color tattoos as well… I guess generally I’m just not a fan of thick black outlines in tats.

“lumos” in white ink.

I do, however, think white ink tattoos are pretty awesome.

my eighth tattoo.
my finished chest piece.

This is one of the most poorly conceived tattoos I’ve ever seen. You’ve basically destined yourself to a life of either being a Suicide Girls/Burning Angel model or wearing turtlenecks every day… forever.

Yeah, you’ll never live to regret that one, I’m sure.

piratekitten:

what the fuck. i mean, i’m all for multiple fandoms, but this tattoo is exactly why you shouldn’t ever mix them together. you’ve got shitty light sabers, bad elvish text (and it appears that you fucking named one of your kids after a LoTR character, and another after a HP character), jrr tolkein’s symbol, star trek ?communicator?, the HP logo, and then the tramp stamp you had before you pooped out your kids. jesus christ. this is the modern version of daughter country star wars.

Worst tattoo I’ve ever fucking seen, Jesus.

There’s a drumming noise inside my head
That starts when you’re around
I swear that you could hear it
It makes such an almighty sound

I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
Till there’s nothing left inside my soul

On its way out of our solar system, Voyager 2 snapped a photo of Neptune and its moon, Triton, locked in a slow, lonely dance around the distant Sun.

Even in desolation, beauty.
