I very pathetically and desperately read just about anything promised to appeal for "fans of Gillian Flynn". This is the 1 in 50 that delivers, and not as a rip off or homage, but its own specific dark jewel. Just a riveting and very awful (positive) novel. So rarely does something capture this part of childhood, the very primal and un-socialized us vs. them, me vs. you, jealousy and confused pre-maturity longing and disgust. Crazy!

I love to watch Phantom Thread when I’m sick. The music and imagery are beautiful and not abrasive, everyone speaks softly with precision, most of all watching Daniel Day-Lewis suffer from illness alongside me is very comforting.

Not on purpose.. but don’t sweat it when it happens by accident.. it’ll dry quickly enough, then the paper will harden into a crispily wrinkled texture that is so nice to flip through. ok if you must do it on purpose.. drink from an iced beverage on top of your notebook and dew from the surface of the glass will drop down nicely.

In elementary school my best friend and I made up a religion where the deity is a tree in the school yard. We’d go to the tree and pray for good grades and bad luck to the girl we did not like. At the end of each prayer, we’d say “sasasasa” as an amen, an onomatopoeia of sand flying from a gust of wind.
