signals given morse-code
I've given him more mixed signals than a dyslexic Morse code operator.
broke stills implications
It broke the spell. It's not that I stopped being happy. I was still inexplicably, utterly happy. But suddenly the happiness had implications.
love-you games video
The complexity embedded in the different levels of meaning that go along with the words "I love you" ought to be a whole mindfuck of a video game
tunnels bridges marketing
Lou's such an old punk he was around when the Ramones were junkie hustlers first and musicians second, when punk meant something other than a mass-marketing concept designed to help the bridge-and-tunnel crowd feel cool.
oxygen people police
Wow. I feel like in this riot of people, I have been kicked in the stomach, but by the giddy police. Forget about the need for oxygen. My mouth wants to go back to the place it just left.
sports moving games
That’s what I like about sports. No matter if everyone playing the game speaks completely different languages, on the field, or the court, wherever they are playing, the language of moves and passes and scores is all the same. Universal.
way littles things-change
Things change all the time, mostly in little ways.
brother real mean
That's because you're interpreting it the wrong way. I didn't mean it as a wistful, overdramatic declaration. I mean that the love I felt for him was huge and real, and, while painful, it forever changed me as a person, in the same way that being your brother reflects and changes how I evolve, and vice versa. The important people in our lives leave imprints. They may stay or go in the physical realm, but they are always there in your heart, because they helped form your heart. There's no getting over that.
acceptable
I was horribly bookish, to the point of coming right out and saying it, which I knew was not socially acceptable.
nice lying block
Why do you lie" I ask her. "To block the truth." Fair enough. Naomi goes on. "Where did we get it in our heads that we need truth all the time? Sometimes lies are nice, you know? You don't have to know the truth all the time. It's too exhausting.
luxury care shallow
But, you see, that's the luxury of being a lout - you get to be selective about when you care and when you don't. The rest of us get stuck when your care goes shallow.
communication sadness cellular
One of the failures of cellular communication is that tiredness often comes across as sadness.
teenage boys intention
Teenage boys cannot be trusted. Their intentions are not pure.
adventure and-love belief
Hope and belief. I'd always wanted hope, but never believed that I could have such an adventure on my own. That I could own it. And love it. But it happened.
