lovestorieslike harold & maude's story:
Fun people, witty people, creative people, open-minded people, passionate people. People who are nice chatters, because I like a good chat.
Anyone who uses puns or rhymes in daily conversation is a friend in need indeed.
And a sassy Sasquatch.

ee cummings:
my mind is
a big hunk of irrevocable nothing which touch and
taste and smell and hearing and sight keep hitting and
chipping with sharp fatal tools
in an agony of sensual chisels i perform squirms of
chrome and execute strides of cobalt
nevertheless i
feel that i cleverly am being altered that i slightly am
becoming something a little different, in fact
myself
Hereupon helpless i utter lilac shrieks and scarlet
bellowings.
I want for Valentine's Day a Dwight Schrute bobblehead, please. Oh, please, please, please??
I also want one of these...
