Damn she looks like a portrait. A couple hundred years in the past I'd be writing poems and fantasizing about this woman after seeing a glimpse of her perfect complexion before she took off in a carriage to her rich husband's property. I'd either frantically stalk her during her many frivolous walks in the city or simply keep writing poems and die from tuberculosis whilst daydreaming about a forbidden affair with the goddess.

That's how beautiful she is

I don't understand. I don't understand how you can make it to adulthood without eating a rock and dying, and not also understand that people don't want to hear you chewing food with your mouth open. It's like a guy saying, "Every day, I play Russian roulette five times." The immediate reaction is, "You're lying, because you'd be dead by now. You'd have been dead within one day you fucking moron." But somehow it's true. Somehow this guy has made it over twenty years through life being sufficiently stupid that he is capable of eating a bag of chips loudly with his mouth opeim going to fucking kill him how fu hdsag;lksagdsa

Nah. I live in a not too bad suburban town, and the local library is complete shit. I live pretty much on the border of another town so I can walk to that library in about 20 minutes, and that library is complete shit too.

Any decently good college will likely have a great library, though, that's fair.

I mean I'm probably being autistic, but I feel these are relatively extremely huge names in the history of the world's philosophy and poetry, so it boggles my mind that they have sections devoted to new best-selling fiction and YA books but can't throw in any poetry from fucking RUMI, one of THE MOST IMPORTANT AND WIDELY READ POETS OF ALL TIME

Well, if you're not interested in philosophy and poetry, it certainly sounds autistic. But I think anyone with some culture know show extremely important these figures I mentioned are, particularly Rumi, Hafiz, and Plotinus, in my opinion, with Rumi probably being the biggest "What the fuck are you doing nigger" on there.
