~~I just got more excited about an assignment than I have been in at least a year.~~

I can’t remember the last time I was this excited to write an essay.

I’m ready for an all-nighter.

Nostalgiafest 09:

I just spent probably over half an hour looking through photo albums from the last week of high school. I am in a great mood.

Love. Can I just drop out of school and do arts and crafts for life?

Because I think I would be okay with that.

Things I am okay with doing and will continue to do forever even though they are a "health hazard":

- Eating those silver decorative dots that are usually found on Christmas desserts/cookies. (i.e. my gingerbread man cookie’s eyes.)

-Food microwaved in plastic.

I have absolutely no words. Kumi Yamashita slightly crinkles up small pieces of paper and shines light at a certain angle to reveal perfect facial silhouettes. So incredible.

I want your handwriting.

Have you ever considered how strange it is that handwriting fonts have come to convey a kind of folksy authenticity in the design lexicon of our age? It’s disingenuous. Handwriting fonts - especially the ones you see everywhere (Comic Sans, Papyrus, Lucida Handwriting) - are mechanically reproduced and manipulated into a kind of cloying, fake, plastic perfection.

Penmanship is mostly a lost art - it is (rightfully) taught less and less in school, and the opportunities for people to see your handwriting are few and far between. As a result, modern handwriting looks really cool. What’s authentic and charming and inviting about real handwriting are the little imperfections that prove it came from a real person.

SO - I have decided to become a collector of handwriting.

Here’s how it works:

You reblog this or email/Facebook me

I’ll arrange for you to pick up a template

You’ll fill it out

I will create a TrueType font from your handwriting and send it to you

As I collect handwriting, I will periodically post things rendered in the handwriting of the donor - things they have taught me, important aspects of our relationship, jokes they have told me… we’ll see.

Please donate today.

so into it.

poorsadmanharris:

This is the B-52’s playing “Dance This Mess Around,” on their first album, The B-52’s. I don’t think there are many bands that have as much fun doing what they do as the B-52’s.

Listen to this and pretend that you are partaking in one of the dance sequences in Scooby Doo, Where Are You!. You won’t disappointed.

Yours sincerely,

Reverend “Poor Sad Man” Harris

dealbreaker:

GUESTBREAKER: You Didn’t Make Me A Sandwich

I know I totally rocked your world babe, so when you asked me if you could return the favor, I thought I made myself pretty clear: “Yo, make me a sandwich.” And you laughed. You thought I was kidding. Baby, all I want are some delicious deli meats smothered in mustard between two slices of bread, and I want it served to me in bed, king style. Yeah, that’s right, king style. What? You think I’m being “weird” and “sexist”? That I should walk the ten-or-so feet to the kitchen and make my own damn sandwich? You asked me what I wanted. And babe, I told you. I want a sandwich—a delicious, life-sustaining, post-coital sandwich.
