In search of you I feel my way though the slowest heaving night
Whatever fear invents, I swear it make no sense
I reach out through the border fence
Come down, come talk to me

CHRISTIAN BALE IS NOT IN IT, I AM NOT INTERESTED.

Not interested in general.

Anonymous asked: you're getting a lot of ignorant anons on your case for saying retarded. I'm pretty sure they've all used words in negative contexts before. Whether they took it that way or not. They need to chill.
Anonymous asked: I think it's great you love words and their meanings. I just also think that loving words and their meanings doesn't justify the use of knowingly offensive words, especially if they're used in negative contexts. I love Tolkien, and he uses the word "faggot" all the time to mean "bundle of sticks to burn". However, I won't use the word even in the...

Except the connotation of the word - referring to the mentally handicapped - does exist, even if it doesn't "make sense" to you. So what you mean is, "I'd rather use word that knowingly has hurtful connotations and has repeatedly demeaned a large group of people than find a more apt word without the same...

I woke up probably around 8am this morning, groggy from my medicine, when I opened my phone and saw that I received a text from someone not in my phonebook at around 2am last night. it read:
“Hi this is a message informing you that you’ve successfully joined the ‘I would do anything for Sufjan Stevens including kissing his big toe’ fan club.”
let’s just say I knew...

how do 90% of people on tumblr even go outside without being offended by a blade of grass or something
