Anonymous asked: late to the casting party and I'd cast you as you except that woud a) be cheating and b) imply that someone had cloned you and two Bookses is a strange and unsettling thought.
Anonymous asked: Surprise beautiful person! Once you get this, you must put it into at least 8 people's asks (anonymously) who deserve it. If you break the chain, nothing will happen, but it's nice to know that someone thinks you're beautiful inside and out. Stay strong.

destameansjoy asked: Hello there! So I'll be going to Swarthmore next year, and I am ridiculously excited about it :) I keep hearing about how intense classes are there, and how much work everyone always has, and how sleep and A's don't exist, and I wanted to know how true it all is. I take a lot of AP classes, so I'm used to a heavy workload; is Swat really going to be that different? Thanks!!

in the production room we don’t say “i love you” we say “hoT GLUE AND EXACTO KNIVES” which translates to “get the fuck out of my way i have 50 swords to spraypaint and a robot to build in the next 3 hours”
i think that’s beautiful.

Memory:
I am fourteen, and just beginning to discover my sexuality. I look at porn not because I enjoy it but because society tells me this is what teenage boys do. I tell my friends that I do, but only late at night, in secret, in confidence, to prove something to them, though I don’t understand what it is that I’m trying to prove.
The place I find genuine sexuality is in the...

So today, my character creation teacher mentioned how you can make any lead character look adventurous by slapping a vest on them. He said you could even put a Marty McFly vest on Giger’s Alien and it would work.
And so I tried it and now I’m crying
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A VEST

men’s rights activists are like a guy who hits a woman with his car. she’ll live, and recover, but she’s seriously injured. meanwhile, when the man’s airbag inflated, the impact broke one of his ribs.
the paramedics are tending to the woman and the guy staggers out of his car and starts yelling “what about me?! I’m injured too! stop helping her! she’s the reason I’m injured, she...

Anonymous asked: So why exactly did you buy a boat? I never got an answer. To where are you sailing?

“Hello Books! Your mission is to go to Sharples [the dining hall] at exactly noon tomorrow, stand on a chair, and sing the song I’ll Make a Man Out of You from Mulan. Music will be provided. If you don’t… I will find you. I know where you live. Mary Lyon [REDACTED]. Good luck!”
Well then. Uh. Swatties, be in Sharples at noon for a performance, I suppose!

modernnman asked: Hey I just got into Swarthmore last week and I was hoping you could answer some questions I have. How would you describe social life at Swat (parties, concerts, drinking/drug culture, etc)? I get a little worried about how small the school is at times, and I know how incredibly rigorous a school it is, so how do you find time to balance the two? Thanks in advance!

erinthesails asked: Hey this is sort of a weird question, but I noticed your ask to Dante Basco, and I just wanted to know how you like Swarthmore? It's been my dream college since middle school and as a junior in high school now I've gotta start actually thinking about applying in the near future. So is there any advice or warnings you wish someone had given you before applying/accepting? Sorry for how out...

A small insight into my character
Whenever possible, I slam double doors open and stride purposefully through them while shouting: “GONDOR CALLS FOR AID”
She did this twice within the span of fifteen seconds when leaving the dining halls.
She would do great at Swarthmore; right on campus there’s a fire horn that lets out hideously loud blasts...

one of my big pet peeves is people saying “cut anyone and everyone who doesn’t make you happy all the time out of your life.”
I see it a lot on tumblr and something about it really bothers me.
first of all, I think it sends a message of “if someone doesn’t make you feel awesome about yourself 110% of the time, dump them!” And I feel that’s dangerous because almost everyone, at...

Anonymous asked: For the secretly think of you thing: Highly intimidating for no reason at all. I'm not exactly sure why you're scary but it could be that the first image of you that comes to mind when someone says your name is a picture of you double-weilding foam swords with a scary grin on your face. Other than that you're not actually scary. Intimidating but not scary.
