I just scored 350 points in Scrabble.
Best game of my life.
No response was adequate enough.

Let your inadequacies guide you to be better, not just to hurt.

They were the sickeningly good looking kind of couple that just makes you think “Of course they are dating. That’s what people like that do.” And I thought to myslef, “I’m cool with not being like them. Dating someone doesn’t equal complete happiness, and I...
I caved and watched the Royal Wedding on Youtube.
Aside from the general grand-ness and splendor of the whole ordeal, it’s all actually quite awkward, really.So many people watching, so many people being watched, everything has to be just perfect and pretty much was. Every movememnt analyzed, cameras poised to capture even the slightest facial twitch. Harry smiled once at William and it’s become an instant meme on Tumblr already.
