with four days to go, my internet’s been capped. I can’t even see the tumblr logo right now, my loading circle on chrome is whizzing around like a frisbee and I have 2 essays to write in the next three days on this speed. 200GB’s, gone.
challenge (unfortunately) accepted.

In Greek, ‘nostalgia’ literally means the pain from an old wound. It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a space ship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards and forwards. It takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel. It’s called the carousel. It let’s us travel the way a child travels—around and...

but why is I Want Candy playing
Ours was the first inch of time. The word passion hadn’t yet been coined, and I’d not yet watched my beloved laid out to butchery and worshipped as a virgin, son of a virgin even. This was before the Roman bastards hammered his arms wide as for some permanent embrace, before the apostles paid me to lie, he never shuddered to death in my arms, I never feasted on his flesh that now...

Borders’ VIP e-mails have been the biggest pain for the last few weeks. Before they went into administration, I’d be lucky to be mailed by them once a month on their deals or new releases- now I’m receiving at least 2 per day. Anything’s been an excuse: from Easter to the Royal Wedding, from Mothers Day to the fact it’s 10:21pm on a Thursday night.
If they had...

While I can’t have you, I long for you. I am the kind of person who would miss a train or a plane to meet you for coffee. I’d take a taxi across town to see you for ten minutes. I’d wait outside all night if I thought you would open the door in the morning. If you call me and say ‘Will you…’ my answer is ‘Yes’, before your sentence is out. I spin worlds where we...

the devil is clearly embodied inside facebook chat. I mean, the reliability this thing is even worse then tumblr, and that in itself is a near-impossible feat.
if the (a?) devil being in an elevator can be made by m. night shyamalan and bring money to the table… surely a movie concerning facebook chat being possessed will easily blow everything out of the water as far as the box office...

Once upon a time in a tumblr place, lived colporteur and newchain’s face. One night he drank cider, drank it with glee, and she pined for it woefully. then that night, colporteur had a fright, a bottle appeared in her sight! By Colporteur.
‘how did you get here?’ she said, for all knew that on a Wednesday ciders were in bed. The wrapper read ‘from tumblr, the...
