I just got an email from my Chaucer professor saying that she’d opened up the class website, so I went and looked at the syllabus and all the course documents and I’m starting to think that this class was a horrible mistake.

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you, the 2012...
Michelle Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)

My family when someone wakes up before anyone...
Me: Tips toes quietly through the house, trying not to make a sound.
Everyone else: Let me just stomp through out the house, slam a bunch a doors, and bang some pots together in the kitchen, I'm sure no one will mind.

I am still craving fish and chips like nothing else.
I have yet to find any here that tastes like it does in England.

Something weird happens in my brain when I’m on Tumblr.
Like I’m thinking of something I have to do, and then I start scrolling and go, “Ooh, Doctor Who. Ha, funny picture. Aw, a cat. Doctor Who. Pretty girl. Cat. Did I have to do something? Maybe I’ll just scroll a while until I figure it out. Hahaha, a funny picture of the Doctor with a cat.”

HOLY SHIT THAT CHRISTMAS EPISODE.
That was one of my favorite episodes of Doctor Who of all time.
It was actually quite literally perfect in every way.

I may have convinced my grandmother to buy me a red Holden Caulfield hat for Christmas.
WISHING HARD.
I will wear it while I write and channel the spirit of Salinger and beautiful words will flow from my warm, hunting hat clad brain.
