The Angsty Romantic

”I was having breakfast at Starbucks this morning and there was this homeless kid sitting outside, I felt bad for him you know? So I bought him some hot chocolate, a couple of muffins and brought them outside to give them to him. When I was telling him about a couple of decent homeless shelters and asked about his story he just gave me this most awful look like I spat in his face. Apparently, he goes to Georgetown University and is an art history major. Then proceeded to tell me the way he dresses reflects the tormented creative soul he is, and he was sitting outside protesting some shit about owls or dolphins or water or humming birds whatever the hell it was. So I think i just mistook a hipster for a homeless kid. Either way do you want these muffins?

”I’ll tell you a little secret boys. People, especially politicians and parents ramble on about “the good old days”. Hell, you’ll do it too - when you’re a bit older. But I’ll tell you this boys, the good old days never existed. Things have always been crap, it’s just the bits that are crap changes. The past is foreign to us, it’s not like we can visit it. But this “normalcy” that the republicans were talking about in the 1920s? It’s pure bullshit; things were never like that.
Mr. Lee - History Class
Normalcy was the American Foreign Policy of retreating back to the “good old days” of white picket fences and a lawful America, that never did anything wrong.
But I thought it was quite a strong message.

I’m the sixth in our family to go to Hogwarts. You could say I got a lot to live up to. Bill and Charlie have already left – Bill was head boy and Charlie was captain of Quidditch. Now Percy’s a prefect. Fred and George mess around a lot, but they still get really good marks and everyone thinks they’re really funny. Everyone expects me to do as well as the others, but if I do, it’s no big deal, because they did it first.
To be honest, I know how this feels.

”
If you are a woman, if you’re a person of colour, if you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, if you are a person of size, if you are a person of intelligence, if you are a person of integrity, then you are considered a minority in this world….
When you don’t have self-esteem you will hesitate before you do anything in your life … You will hesitate to defend yourself when you are discriminated against because of your race, your sexuality, your size, your gender. You will hesitate to vote, you will hesitate to dream.
For us to have self-esteem is truly an act of revolution and our revolution is long overdue.

I’ve found a bandwagon. I decided to jump on it. The picture above is of me in August, just after Gay Pride.
I actually have a blog on Livejournal, which can be found here: http://andufus.livejournal.com/
However, I don’t use that too often. I do occasionally though, when I have something to say or when I remember in general.I guess the reason I decided to start Tumblr is I’ve always been the kinda person to like the inspiration/cheesy stuff, or the cutesy images, and I’ve seen a lot of that kinda thing around on Tumblr. I’ll probably post some original stuff, but I guess my aim is to reblog a lot of stuff that makes me smile, in hopes it’ll make you smile too.
