Reasons Why My Boyfriend Is a Fucking Rockstar
1. He picked out this new television and set it up all by himself and he saved serious $$$ on it!
2. He helped my brother with his personal statement for graduate school and my brother got his first acceptance letter today!
3. I have been super sick and he has taken such good care of me! He made me homemade chicken noodle soup from scratch! It had parsnips in it! All I’ve done is sleep and eat food and soak in the tub and be peacefully medicated.
Thanks for being the best bf in the whole entire world!
“7. “You Need Sucky Things in Life to Make You Stronger”
This was Vin’s sound advice while trying to convince Sammi to stay (?!). Thinking about it, everyone in the house should heed these words. “Sucky” things like cockblocking uncles, the T-shirt store, being made to go on roller coasters while you’re legally drunk, Sammi’s voice, getting punched in the face by your girlfriend, the duck-phone ring, repeatedly falling down vagina-first, grenades, ridiculous sunglasses, and sleeping in toddler beds — maybe they DO make you stronger.” —

for some reason, that line about the roller coasters really gets to me
“It’s a mystery of human chemistry and I don’t understand it. Some people, as far as their senses are concerned, just feel like home.”

“The greatest threat to America’s fiscal health is not Social Security,” President Barack Obama said in a March speech at the White House. “It’s not the investments that we’ve made to rescue our economy during this crisis. By a wide margin, the biggest threat to our nation’s balance sheet is the skyrocketing cost of health care. It’s not even close.”

An excellent article by Atul Gawande, brought to my attention by the surgeon in my bioethics class, a republican who admires Obama for taking a popularity hit for this cause. In case there are any other bioethics geeks out there, here’s a follow-up article that breaks down the data a little better.
