“I’ve done everything I can to see a ghost. It’s just like that...”
– Richard Christy
I heard this on Howard Stern this morning. And it made me happy. Because I more than anyone I know really really want to be haunted and see a ghost. It frustrates me that people are scared of it. For me it would be thrilling. So my whole life I’ve wished to see a ghost and am...

I'm doing some Tumblr downsizing.
If you are unFollowed, no offense meant, but my dashboard takes me two hours to get through. It’s just not worth it to be on here if I can’t absorb all I want to from the Tumblogs I’m interested in. I Follow you guys for a reason (a lot of them) and I’d like to be faithful to that (those).
[Also: I sometimes post silly things. I am sometimes unFollowed for it, and then...

Goodnight, everybody!
Tomorrow, I have:
Foreign Policy
Asian Women
Mentor-Mentee meeting
So. This means breakfast. Which I really have a terrible record for getting out of bed for, though I know the horrible ramifications (rumbling stomach in Foreign Policy.) I also have to read the Washington Post before class. And some articles I may or may not have read tonight.
Then, pick-up folders for my mentees; because I...

Okay. Because I need Karma points. Good traits for...
Hard-working (willing to earn money to pay for college). Obviously self-sacrificing to a strange extent (even I will admit that). Humble (doesn’t think too highly of herself; hates having attention paid to her, parties, prom, etc.). Good student (does her work thoroughly and on time). Care-taker (of weird mother, lonely father). Good friend (pays attention/ is grateful for...

While I'm on the topic of books...
You—whoever you are—need to go to readprint.com right now. Read thousands of books. By hundreds of authors. Online. Free.
I am reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet; the first Sherlock Holmes mystery. All of Conan Doyle’s work is on there, as well as that of some other people you might not expect.
Sometimes I still get amazed at how awesome public...

You can go in, pick out a book, take it home and read it for free, then take it back so someone else can read it. How cool is that?
Thanks to whomever pioneered the idea of the public library.
Still looking for Bella's good traits?
I may have some. (Yes, yes. I don’t hate her—blah, bah, bah.)

ARE FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!
THESE CHOICES OMG DIEING RN
You know who Christoph Waltz is?! He’s THE Nazi officer from Inglourious Basterds. That guy won a Golden Globe for being an evil genius. Robert Downey Jr won an award for being a ass-kicking English detective. Perfect. Enemies.

I’ve never understood why people insist on saying animals are stupid. I talked to my dog over the phone today. And yes. I really did. He “talked” back as well (in his own language, obviously).

For freedom

We may be at the brink of the collapse of the Chavez’s regime in venezuela. I know most of you don’t give a shit. But I do. and I wanted to share why. You see. Today my 76 year old father held hands with my very fragile 74 year old mother as they stood in the middle of the streets of caracas facing a line of national guard troops while tear gas cans flew over their heads. They stood...
