I guess I'm still writing?

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explossions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices -- to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicions can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own. And the pity of it is... that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone." -The Twilight Zone

"Of course it is happening inside your head Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?" -Albus Dumbledore

I like this last quote, not because it presumes that insanity is perfectly normal, but because at the very end of the series J. K. Rowling is reminding us that the story inside the Harry Potter books, along with all the other stories we have read and will read throughout are lives, are, in a sense, real.

Sometimes, when I'm upset, I think about Atticus Finch. It makes it all better.

I still love Rent, and I still love Harry, and I love 90s movies with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.

I am mildly amazed by the things I wrote when I was 13.
