There’s a couple next to me on the bus.
They’re watching Moonrise Kingdom and holding hands.
One earbud in each other’s ear.

Not particularly. It’s been up there for a long time. Hypno was part of my beloved Pokemon Blue team.
I prided myself on using him to beat my rival’s faster, stronger Alakazam; it gave me the satisfaction of an underdog victory. I would teach him Mega Punch, because Hypno’s Attack stacks up nicely against Alakazam’s pitiful Defense. It’s fun for a kid to imagine Hypno punching a snooty Alakazam in the face.
What a pleasant surprise! People almost never message me. I’m okay. There are some things to take pleasure in and some things that worry me. I put off a lot of important tasks this weekend. I hope I will stay on top of everything this week.
Don’t be anonymous, Anon; maybe you’re somebody I know.
加油, bitches.
I’ve noticed that several of my followers are Miyazaki fans, so I thought I share this little tidbit of information with you about Spirited Away.
I always wondered why the symbol “ゆ” (said “yu”) was on the door to the bath house. I asked my Japanese teacher, and he wasn’t too sure so I did a…
my laptop’s harddrive crashed and I’m still not employed and I might not graduate in 4 years and my parents have no money and I take pills to act like a normal person and I’m not close enough to any of my ‘friends’ to talk to about it so instead I’m making a fucking tumblr post and it’s an amazing day but I don’t feel that way so it feels like the world is making fun of me and I am a joke and I am lonely and I want to go away

Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head,
To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired:
For then my thoughts, from far where I abide,
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see
Save that my soul’s imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.
Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee and for myself no quiet find.

The song had little to do with whether I had a crush on someone at that moment.
The backlash was like
