"Language is always an abbreviation"
A writer continually struggles for clarity against the language he’s using, or, more accurately, against the common usage of that language. He doesn’t see language with the readability and clarity of something printed out. He sees it, rather, as a terrain full of illegibilities, hidden paths, impasses, surprises, and obscurities. Its map is not a dictionary but the whole of literature and perhaps everything ever said. Its obscurities, its lost senses, its self-effacements come about for many reasons — because of the way words modify each other, write themselves over each other, cancel one another out, because the unsaid always counts for as much, or more, than the said, and because language can never recover what it signifies. Language is always an abbreviation.
- John Berger, Post-Scriptum
An analogy
For the first time in a long time, you decide to go out. To a party. You’re excited. Hair, outfit, accessories: everything’s A-level. You can’t wait.
Only, as soon as you get there, you sprain your ankle. It hurts but it’s manageable. So you have to make a decision: you can either go home immediately or you can stay out and enjoy yourself as best you can and then return home, but in each case you know that it’s gonna take about 6-8 weeks to heal.
No matter what you choose your ankle will be sprained.
(So is it so bad to want to stay at the party?)
This post is because I want to torture SJ until she makes this on her own and develops an addiction.
Brigadeiro, you will be mine.
I love Kristen Stewart because
- she is a phenomenal actress
- she is a beautiful girl
- she brings both strength and vulnerability to Bella Swan
- she keeps her hair tangle-free

I have a theory that Snookie is all the sadness in the world crammed into half a person. Some one should make a wish and throw her in a well. It is remarkable, she should guard Azkaban.I swear she has the density of a dying sun. She’s like a human altoid, small, white and surprisingly strong like a shot gun shell with hair extensions and hepatitis.

If you search tumblr for SJ because you are slightly self-obsessed, be forewarned that this is not me. I could never get my eyeliner to look like that.
I am a really big fan of boobs though.
