I like
supernay:
platonic relationships. Too frequently, I think, are friendships skipped over in favor of the more ‘thrilling’ romance in novels and movies. I’d like to read a book about two people who are simply friends. They’d love each other, of course, and have this amazing, deep, personal bond - it just wouldn’t be romantic.
Perhaps that would be boring, though.

You Didn’t Thank Me For Punching You In The Face →
theladyafterwards:
Last year, one little boy stole [my daughter’s] Silly Bandz from her. He just grabbed her and yanked a handful of them off of her wrist. When I went to the school to address the incident, the teacher smiled and explained it away to her, in front of me, “He probably has a crush on you.”
Okay, the boy walked up to my daughter, grabbed and held her by the arm and forcibly...

spine:
I’ve been told that people in the army do more by 7:00 am than I do in an entire day
but if I wake at 6:59 am and turn to you to trace the outline of your lips with mine I will have done enough and killed no one in the process.
