  2. Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

  3. dianakimball: Two weeks ago, my mom sent me a text message. She’d read a book that was wise and true, and she was sending me a copy—she hoped I could spent some time with it. Today, I opened the book, half-distracted; but soon, the dark drawings drew me in. Clamoring at the edges of the pages, thickets of charcoal closing in on the words. By the end, I felt gutted and set free. This book speaks to the essence of dread and grief. There is no easy ending, but there is relief. Written for teenagers, it cuts to the heart quickly. All I can say is that if this speaks to you, you’ll want to spend some time with it, too. A Monster Calls, by Patrick Ness, inspired by an idea from Siobhan Dowd I WANT THIS BOOK SO BADLY.

    what have you done to her?!

  11. I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. to enter ordinary relationships, I want ecstacy. I am a neurotic- in the sense that i live in my world. I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.

    There Will Be Fireworks - Foreign Thoughts (There Will Be Fireworks, 2009)

    She says she barely sleeps
    And if she does it’s fitfully
    Hears footsteps in the leaves
    And if she dreams she dreams of
    The sounds you’ll never speak
    The words left out between the beat
    Of clashing teeth and tongues
    The roar of background hum
    That blooms inside her listening ears
    To be the noise she wants to hear
    She only wants to do you proud
    Only wants to make you proud now
    And in a stranger’s bed
    Head next to stranger’s head
    She chokes on words that won’t come out
    The TV’s turned up far too loud, too loud

    So here we go again
    Head on the block again
    The guillotine has just quickened pace
    Teeth sink in to leave their taste, of blood
    And her head hits the floor
    Lips still moving, mouthing to implore
    “You’re all I want, you’re all I want, you’re all I want
    And all I want to…”

    My new found lullaby.
