Rubbed Raw
By i_am_lord_troldemort SILVER

Living's an addiction And I'm sick of this drug Breathing is painful But I'm comfortably numb My heart is beating But my mind has stopped My hands are bleeding...

&ldquo;Real gangster-ass Nerdfighters don&rsquo;t run from nothing&hellip; &lsquo;cause real gangster-ass Nerdfighters can&rsquo;t run fast.&rdquo; <br /> and<br /> &ldquo;Saying &#039;I notice you&#039;re a nerd&#039; is like saying, &#039;Hey, I notice that you&#039;d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you&#039;d rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?&#039; In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even &#039;lame&#039; is kind of lame. Saying &#039;You&#039;re lame&#039; is like saying &#039;You walk with a limp.&#039; Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he&#039;s done all right for himself.&rdquo;

Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;The words you can&rsquo;t find, you borrow. We read to know we&rsquo;re not alone. We read because we are alone. We read and we are not alone. We are not alone. My life is in these books, he wants to tell her. Read these and know my heart. We are not quite novels. The analogy he is looking for is almost there. We are not quite short stories. At this point, his life is seeming closest to that. In the end, we are collected works.&rdquo; ― Gabrielle Zevin, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry
