I was in Paris recently with a new group of people, one of which was a sort of kooky, interesting girl. Although, in hindsight, not that interesting. I always get fooled and think, ‘She seems fascinating!’ Is she, Simon? Or does she just have short hair?

Just got my hair cut!! Life is awesome.

That’s me, plus some screaming, every time ANYONE uses the word “comprise.” 

STOP USING IT. IT DOES NOT MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS. JUST SAY CONSISTS.

I call it “income heritability,” the degree to which you inherit your parents’ relative position on the income spectrum. And that is just stunning to me, because obviously we inherit our height and weight in a literal sense. We inherit our parents’ relative income only in a figurative sense, but the correlation is about as strong. That’s not what America is supposed to be about; America is supposed to be about opportunity and mobility.

‎”And basically I have one message to all. Hang Tough. And I mean by saying Hanging Tough, do your best every day. Whether it’s in school or at your job or wherever you are. Do your best every day. You don’t have to know all the answers, no way, don’t expect that of yourself, just do your best. Satisfy yourself, so at the end of the day, you can look in the mirror, after you’ve brushed your teeth, and say honestly to yourself, today I did my best. And if you do that you’re being honest and everything is going to be okay.”

That moment when Aragorn’s self-esteem is brought down by a hobbit.

#dear diary #today I overheard the hobbits calling me ugly and foul-feeling #blew my diet eating a pound of lembas moistened with my tears #what is the point of any of it if I’m still ugly and foul-feeling #like growing up with a shitload of elves didn’t give me enough issues #no consideration #none whatsoever #I hope those little fucks drown on the way to Mordor

Oh, this brings me back to the LOTR very secret diaries. SO GOOD.
