I’d just like everyone to know that I have the greatest boyfriend ever because in celebration of our second anniversary, we will be seeing Bon Iver together on the eighth of June. That is all.

I was just raving about how much I love this song tonight, and here this guy goes doing it so much justice. So much love

I watched Iron Man 2 and got really emotional. I should be ashamed

Love, Ellie

I’m not exaggerating when I say this movie makes me cry every single time I watch it

Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.

LMFAO Cover of the Day: After months of rearranging, 18-year-old Noah finally figured out how best to cover LMFAO’s “Sexy & I Know It” — and his rendition has just been named the day’s trending video by NBC’s Today show. You can almost see him blushing as he shares his big news with fans on Facebook and Twitter. Pretty obvious what’s going on here — Noah’s sexy and he doesn’t know it.

This may be the greatest cover of anything ever.

This is fantastic, oh my gosh haha

Disclaimer: I am completely for homosexual rights, marriage, etc. I just want to stick up for the Progressive Christians who get bible bashed.

If you look at those references and the references that other activists give? They’re all from Leviticus. Here’s the deal, though: Leviticus was a law book that happened to make it into the bible because back then they loved to mix politics and religion because it’s just how things were done. They didn’t have the freedom of religion that we have (or supposedly have) and they were in the early days of “An eye for an eye.” When Jesus came, though, he fucked EVERY LAW up. He never said anything about homosexuality, he changed the “eye for an eye” law to “Love your neighbor no matter what” and was big on forgiveness and drinking (turned water into wine LIKE A BOSS. Like seriously, if I were part god, I’d probably turn something healthy like water into alcohol…I’d also turn my pillow into Ian Sommerhalder, but that’s not the point…)

Anyways, it baffles me as to why people will use a book of laws against each other in such violent ways (verbal and nonverbal) For example, (for those educated with ancient civilizations) would you use the Mandate of Heaven to win the presidency? No. Would you use Hammurabi’s Code of Law as an excuse to enslave a child? No.

I will admit that I am not the most informed “bible thumper” mostly because I don’t really believe all the stories and philosophies in there. You always have to remember who wrote these books and the morale of the time. The most offensive ones were written by men “supposedly” ordained by god, but really ordained by some sort of government. In my opinion, the New Testament is more reliable as a suggestion guide for life. The Old Testament is more of a history book by the ancient historians.

Seriously, take note, thou uneducated sheep.
