I'm Analise. I'm 20 going on cynical old lady. I like beautiful pictures, funny things, words, music, food, fireworks, television, magic, dogs, Harry Potter, wanderlust, books, sarcasm, cheese, movies, and anything else that strikes a chord within my soul. This blog is a reflection of where my mind wanders and the things it finds along the way. There's a lot of food, whatever I'm obsessing over at the moment, and general randomness.

Grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you’re shit.

People always think they know other people, but they don’t. Not really. I mean, maybe they know things about them, like they won’t eat doughnuts or they like action movies or whatever. But they don’t know what their friends do in their rooms alone at night or what happened to them when they were kids or if they feel fucked up and sad for no reason at all.

There is an ache in my heart for the imagined beauty of a life I haven’t had, from which I had been locked out, and it never goes away.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 leaves us with the dawning, awesome recognition that the world is huge, fraught, enigmatic, magical, dangerous, delightful, and, ultimately, the responsibility of young people who must first find their own footing.

I am a jumble of passions, misgivings, and wants. It seems that I am always in a state of wishing and rarely in a state of contentment.

Misattributed Quote of the Day: “I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.”
You’ve undoubtedly seen this quote somewhere online today, most likely attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr. It’s both pensive and timely; certainly looks like something a nonviolent activist such as King would say.
Unfortunately, he didn’t. And neither did anyone else before today, when the originator of the quote took to Twitter and decided to pretend to quote King.
“What do you get out of saying something pithy, and getting no credit for it?,” asks The Atlantic’s Megan McArdle. “Perhaps they only wanted to say this thing, and knew that no one would pay attention unless it came from someone else,” she posits. “Or, perhaps they are getting a gargantuan kick out of seeing people repeat their lie ad infinitum.”
As Abraham Lincoln once said: “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re not quoting Martin Luther King, Jr.”

When you’re five and you hurt, you make a big noise unto the world. At ten you whimper. By the time you make fifteen you begin to eat the poisoned apples that grow on your own inner tree of pain. It’s the Western Way of Enlightenment.

I lied, I’m not… out of this relationship. I’m in it. I’m so in, it’s humilating. Okay, here it is. Your choice, it’s simple- her or me. And I’m sure she’s really great, but I love you, in a really, really big, pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me. Choose me. Love me.
