nonchalante: You know what’s beautiful? Your eyes blinking, your pupils dilating when you’re euphoric, the curve of your smile, the shade of your teeth, the arch of your back, the fingers typing, the breathing thing you do, the thoughts. Your thoughts. How you think is beautiful; how a thought comes to mind is…a miracle, how you operate, how you are; just you. In every sense of the word; all...

girlinlondon: One thing I’ve learnt this month: I fall too quickly for people. Not in a romantic way. In a ”I want to be friends with that person.” way. I get to know that person and it turns out quite often that they’re shallow, dull, impertinent, ordinary, ignorant, too crazy or too broken to be fixed. From now on I have to be more careful but isn’t it boring to be careful? I like the...

I was massaging her head while she was going to sleep when she said, “Today my children are doing to me what I used to do to them.” I hope that one day, when I’m a mother, I can be as loving and as endlessly patient and as necessarily strict as her.

Tact
Now while I completely understand the need for tact, I wish it didn’t exist. I don’t ever mean to offend anyone, and I dislike that I have to change my speech to convey that. I wish people weren’t so sensitive. I like that trying to be tactful makes you think about what you’re going to say to someone, but at the same time, that just wouldn’t be necessary if people...

Layout
My layout changes all chat posts to lowercase, and I can’t find where exactly in the HTML it has it set to do that. Anyone care to find it for me? The line is all I need :)

Amusing Abbu
I was looking at Cal 3 notes when Abbu walked in.
Abbu: You don't know how to do simple square roots?
Me: Nooo, I'm looking at the norms of vectors.
Abbu: It's so easy.
Me: It's in THREE-D! You don't know how to do it.
Abbu: (Laughing) That's because they changed it from how we used to do it. What is this? A times B? That's just AB!
Me: It's not multiplication; it's the dot product!
Abbu: I got an A+ in differential equations you know.
