cake interviews process
Ambrose, your presence is the horseshit frosting on the horseshit cake that is the admissions interview process.
kings lying love-you
I have heard what poets write about women. They rhyme and rhapsodize and lie. I have watched sailors on the shore stare mutely at the slow-rolling swell of the sea.

prophet
There is only one Whedon, and I am his prophet.
wonderful said
Auri," I asked slowly, "are you joking with me?" She looked up and grinned. "Yes I am," she said proudly. "Isn't it wonderful?
taught-us special stories
And if Hollywood has taught us anything, it's that cool props and special effects are not enough. Story comes first. Everything depends on story.
