WANDERLUSTFUL

Tonight I went to a bar by myself and it sucked...
…But I’m on the train to go home and a really cute boy just sat across from me and the carriage is completely empty otherwise. So this is definitely my “Before Sunrise” moment, right? I’ve earned it.
“We can tell our children that school is important until we’re blue in the face, they’re not stupid. They see the loudest applause is for the kids on the field. They know teachers are paid poorly and don’t drive fancy cars. They know people plan Super Bowl parties but mock the National Spelling Bee. In other words, they see the hypocrisy, and we can’t expect society to correct itself. If we want to have any lasting influence on the way our kids approach education — the way future generations approach education — then we have to grab our pom-poms and paint our faces and celebrate intellectual curiosity with the same vigor we do their athletic achievements.”

“I’m almost never serious, and I’m always too serious. Too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. I’m like a collection of paradoxes.”
—Ferdinand von Schrubentaufft (via forlovers)
I had a dream last night...
…That they remade the “A Farewell to Arms” movie. Starring Michael Pitt. My subconscious has brilliant casting methods. Now who to play Catherine? Carey Mulligan, perhaps?
I have such social anxiety about...
…calling people on the phone. I hate it. SO much. Even if it’s someone I know well. I can’t stand it.
I’ve been trying to call the girls that live next door for about 2 hours, but I can’t pluck up the courage to actually do it. I just don’t want to spend another boring weekend at home. I need to do something. I need to get out of the house. I need a beer.
I need to hang out with people other than moms and babies. I need social interaction with the male species.
