Away: i'm bored, and it's hot outside. i sorta updated my blog, though. sorta.
Away: in the up stairs
Away: your face is a simple machine
Away: wave of babies!
Away: upstairs, hiding from the drunk, angry, jerky neighbors.
"The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people."
-- GK Chesterton
Away: The rare strange thing is to hit the mark; the gross obvious thing is to miss it. Chaos is dull; because in chaos a train might go anywhere -- to Baker Street or Bagdad. But man is a magician and his whole magic is in this; that he does say 'Victoria,' and lo! it is Victoria.
Away: The idea of private property universal but private, the idea of families free but still families, of domesticity democratic but still domestic, of one man one house -- this remains the real vision and magnet of mankind. The world may accept something more official and general, less human and intimate. But the world will be like a broken-hearted woman who makes a humdrum marriage because she may not make a happy one; Socialism may be the world's deliverance, but it is not the world's desire.
Away: Teddy is all restuffed and looking as good as...well...not new really. He looks as good as he did ten years ago, though.
Away: Quotes by famous people are a timeless way to tell someone you love them.

So true.
Away: finishing a tale of two cities
Away: Bah! The red hand of Socialism is constantly thwarting my progress!

Away: Yeah, you see how you scum.
Away: Very few people in the world would care to listen to the real defense of their own characters. The real defense, the defense which belongs to the Day of Judgment, would make such damaging admissions, would clear away so many artificial virtues, would tell such tragedies of weakness and failure, that a man would sooner be misunderstood and censured by the world than exposed to that awful and merciless eulogy.
Away: It's the Fourth of July!
Away: If survivalists told you to jump off a bridge, would you?
Away: away. at school. horrible school.
Away: A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make sense.
