Sitting in the labyrinth

Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry

So, I had the most fun I’ve ever had on Friday night, which also happened to be my (technical) birthday. Saying the show was amazing would be a huge understatement. I don’t like crowds, but being in a room with 1,300 people who like books is the best kind of crowd there is. After said fantastic show, I met my heroes. Hank and John are such genuine and down-to-earth people. I could go on and on about how great they are, but it’d just be redundant. Getting to meet them was surreal. I wasn’t able to properly thank them for everything because if there’s a way to thank a person for spending countless hours dedicated to decreasing incredible amounts of worldsuck, I don’t know how.

I met John Green and Hank Green and said hello to The Katherine.

The Fault in Our Stars is currently outselling Breaking Dawn and Twilight. I just thought the nerdfighters would appreciate this :)

This is an example of a thing that I never thought would happen to me.

The art of art thievery [x]

I’m not even joking at this point; I am in love with Hank Green.

^How could you not though, he’s just so wonderful <3

I’m extremely surprised that a Picasso print is just sitting in a hotel room like what in the world. Of course, you can trust the Green brothers to not be art thieves. They totally just filmed their whole heist and stuff.

FIRST,LOL. Hank is so hilarious.

What’s the worst thing you can call a woman? Don’t hold back, now. You’re probably thinking of words like slut, whore, bitch, cunt (I told you not to hold back!), skank. Okay, now, what are the worst things you can call a guy? Fag, girl, bitch, pussy. I’ve even heard the term ‘mangina.’ Notice anything? The worst thing you can call a girl is a girl. The worst thing you can call a guy is a girl. Being a woman is the ultimate insult. Now tell me that’s not royally fucked up.

Truth.

So THIS happened today. (Maureen Johnson wrote The Name of the Star. Which has a similar title to the Fault in Our Stars but the plot isn’t similar at all.)

Can't argue with the truth

Me: ARE YOU DONE WITH THE FAULT IN OUR STARS?

Me: Choices. You're making good ones.
