In the words of the Mongolian Creation Myth: “There came a wild dog who was blue and grey and whose destiny was imposed on him by the heavens. His mate was a roe deer, thus begins another love story. The wild dog with his courage and strength, the doe with her gentleness, intuition, and elegance. Hunter and hunted meet and love each other. According to the laws of nature, one should destroy the other, but in love there is neither good nor evil, there is neither construction or destruction, there is merely movement. And love changes the laws of nature. The two travel together in their symbolic worlds, two impossibilities who have found each other, and because they had overcome their own natures and barriers, they make the world possible too. Out of two different natures love is born. In confrontation and transformation love is preserved.”

I like picture books.

I think coffee shops should make espresso ice cubes, so that when the espresso melts it just adds more flavor to your coffee. That would be a tremendous selling point on a scorching day in Arizona.

Toothpast Hangover:
The effect that makes everything taste disgusting after you brush your teeth.

I want to love you the way you want to be loved, and I welcome you telling me how.

Just words and a girl.

We find our depth when we go directly into the hole, as Alice did. Wonderland is really the depths of the human soul, and it defiance of logical and all its radiant possibilities.

Why are school zones like 15 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…

The word “eclectic” just seems to roll off the tongue. Maybe it’s all the clicking noises I like.

But you're far from this. Your fingers turn the strangeness of these pages that somehow connect my life to yours. Your eyes are safe. The story is just another few hundred pages of your mind. For me, it's here. It's now. I have to go through with this, considering the cost at every turn. Nothing will be the same."

I love bananas, but can’t stand banana candy. When I was little we use to eat flavored powder that came in a little container that was shaped like whatever fruit flavor was inside. I dumped just about the whole banana container on my tongue, and it made me very nauseous, and ever since I just can’t seem to stomach banana flavored candy.

I also had a similar experience with “Big league Chew” that shredded gum that came in the baseball packages. We use to have a lot of power outages when I was little because of snow, and I would get so nervous. One time my anxiety mixed with my need to calm myself with candy, and I ate the whole pack of gum, and if I remember correctly swallowed a large amount of it. I ended up throwing up in the trash can, and have never had the gum since.

Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

I love Michaels.

"Our footsteps run, and I don't want them to end. I want to run and laugh and feel like this forever. I want to avoid any awkward moment when the realness of reality sticks its fork into our flesh, leaving us standing there, together. I want to stay here, in this moment, and never go to other places, where we don't know what to say or what to do."
