"Some dummy built this pencil wrong.
The eraser's down here where the point belongs.
And the point's at the top; so it's no good to me.
It's amazing how stupid some people can be."
--Shel Silverstein
I'm not stupid, I'm just slow to work things out. This means I get really good overall grades, but I suck at speed work, like timed tests in math. So don't expect anything witty and original out of me in conversation. I am the queen of esprit de l'escalier. Message me if you want to know what that means, or just look it up yourself. Or, if you know someone who speaks French, have them translate it for you. Or you could just be lazy and ignore the French reference altogether.
"The light at the end of the tunnel is so frequently an oncoming train."
"I don't got no horizons;
I don't wish upon a star.
They don't think that I listen,
oh, but I know who they are."
--Phil Collins, Take Me Home
"Don't suppose. Just do."
--Maj Calhari, from Singing the Columbine
"You stupid girl. Stop acting. For once in your life, stop acting, and let me see the real Rosie. Because if you can't show me something that's real, then why should I hang around here?"
-- Randall Shamalagaleu (Speaking to his friend Rosie Raleigh), from Rosie
