To this day, I wake up at times, look in the mirror, and just stare, obsessed with the idea that the person I am in my head is something entirely different than what everyone else sees. That the way I look will prevent me from doing the things I want; that there really are sneetches with stars and I'm not one of them. I touch my face, I feel my skin, I check my color every day and I swear it all feels right. But then someone says something and that sense of security and identity is gone before I know it.

From National Geographic (all true):
In Nature: While snakes are often perceived as lazy, Campbell said people are mistaken. "What we perceive as shy, lazy, or inactive is really efficiency," he said."On average, they are bigger than other lizards and can build a lot of body mass. They do that by being efficient in feeding and traveling." In other words, snakes don't move very much because they don't have to.
When it comes to food, snakes catch prey that are significantly larger than them so they can eat less frequently. This reduces the time they spend hunting and thus makes them less vulnerable to falling victim to a predator themselves.
For Campbell, the most impressive hunter is the eastern diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus Adamanteus), which is able to hunt and kill its prey very quickly using venom, so it doesn't have to travel far. "Because they don't have to do that, they can become relatively large and heavy, being able to build up body mass and not having to spend that energy hunting." - Feb 02, 13
My brother lives upstairs. A few big journalists live here. My high school debate coach lives here. And my best friend from summer camp when I was 12 lives here too.

February 2013 marks the beginning of a Year of the Snake:
Snakes have very few friends because thy are not outwardly emotional or open creatures. The friends they do make generally last a lifetime, even though peers may find it hard to relate to the Snake because he is withdrawn and secretive. Still, Snakes like social functions, in moderation, where they can gossip about the latest scandal or the newest news. If you stab a Snake in the back it is likely you will never be forgiven. In addition, you should prepare yourself for retaliation for the Snake always gets the last word.
This is all true. - Nov 24, 12
- Nov 05, 12Every year, the weekend after Thanksgiving, Grace flies to New York and we go shopping. This March, in LA, we made a pact that by Thanksgiving, we'd each accomplish two things:1. Complete a piece of written work we'd been thinking about—either a screenplay or a book.2. Go on a date with someone.In the past eight months, I have accomplished neither one of these things. And now here we are, November 5th, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner.But I did get some nice new boots from McQ.

Last night I had a dream that this guy I know asked me to watch his backpack. After he walked away, I reached into the bag (even though I knew I wasn't supposed to) and pulled out a small house. It was made of thick green glass—bottle-thick, but a jade green. I shook the little house and turned it upside down—three ancient Greek coins (also, strangely, made of green glass) fell out. I got worried that I wouldn't be able to get them back into the house so I looked inside and discovered that the coins had only been secured to the inside of the house with a piece of Scotch Magic Tape. I put the three coins back in the house, put the house back in the bag, and when he came back, I handed him his backpack. He never knew the difference.

- Aug 03, 12Why do I want to go here so badly? From Lonely Planet:
Small boats are easily swamped in strong winds, and the seas are so cold that your chances of swimming even a short distance to shore would be tiny. Flotation suits give you a few extra minutes to contemplate death should your boat sink. Even if you do make it to land, the chances of being rescued before you become hypothermic are minimal. There is a lifeboat-style rescue service, but it comprises only four boats for all of Greenland. Even helicopter rescues can take several hours - as well as tens of thousands of dollars - to reach you.
Polar bears are very rare and they generally avoid humans. Where they are a hazard locals will advise you to carry a gun and might lend you one. If you're cornered by a bear when unarmed, try to keep your cool.
Be careful how you store food when camping, to avoid attracting foxes.
Major summer annoyances are clouds of mosquitoes, midges and mini-flies, which seek out eardrums, shoot up nostrils and make kamikaze attacks on eyeballs. They're at their worst in July, especially on wilderness hikes, when a head-net is virtually essential. Head-nets are widely sold for around Dkr40, some designs working best when worn over a baseball-style cap. Insects are curiously absent in sheep-farming areas.

I think a lot about what I'm going to remember when I'm old—like, proper-old, like, 90—because that's the only way I'm able to wrap my head around the question of what's meaningful. And I try to think about what's meaningful because that's how I can, sort of logically, sift through my days and decide what to devote time and energy to.Catch-22, Kingsland Road
I used to think about this more in terms of people in my life I'd still want to know and be close to when I'm old, but people drift in and out of the picture so easily. Once in a while I'll get to know someone I think I'd like to still know when I'm old. But somehow I think memories are more reliable.
Here's a brief, non-exhaustive, vague, and badly-explained list of random things I can think of that I'm pretty sure I'll still remember when I'm 90: standing in the Persian Gulf and marveling at its incredible blue-ness; buying 21 loaves of bread at Sainsbury's to feed ducks with Andrew; rolling backwards down a hill in Karak in a Hyundai hatchback; Petra; getting lost in the desert and winding up 40km from the Saudi border; that underground supper club in Beirut; hysterically crying over a woman who'd been disowned by her family and died of AIDS at Mother Teresa's Center in Kingston; flying home from Dahab and back again in the same day to hang out with Soren and Lars; that time one of our flatmates thought a man at a bus stop gave her a cigarette laced with heroin; when the Finnish guy fell into the canal behind our house and lost a piece of his nose; my Scandinavian goth-metal phase; the last time I saw Braden; walking down the street in Kyoto trying to convince an old man on a bike that I wasn't joking about not speaking Japanese; those very weird four hours in Tallinn; going out every night to Catch-22 with Maria; the Old Cataract Hotel; Louise; my first trip to Miami when I ate coconut cake at Cat Power's house.
