[…] You are the only person on earth, Lover, who has ever known and loved all of me – Men love me ’cause I’m pretty – and they’re always afraid of mental wickedness – and men love me ’cause I’m clever, and they’re always afraid of my prettiness – One or two have even loved me ’cause I’m lovable, and then of course I was acting – But you just do, darling – and I do – very very very much […].
[…] Maybe I’m getting tired – I can’t think of anything but nights with you. I want them warm and silvery – when we can be together all our lives – which will probably be long, as I’ve recovered from the cough, much to my disgust. I don’t want you to see me growing old and ugly – I know you’ll be a beautiful old man – romantic and dreamy – and I’ll probably be most prosaic and wrinkled – we will just have to die when we’re 30 […].’

Hello Kitties!
So I’ve been crushing on this guy I have for my American Lit (1865-1915) class ever since I saw him. Yet I never had the chance to talk to him. That is until the universe conspired to have us both in the same group for a presentation on Allen Ginsburg( what are the chances right?!). It turns out he’s hilarious and smart, two of the most important features I look for in a guy.
In any case we traded phone numbers and emails so of course, I Facebook stalked him! This led me to fall deeper in this crush I’ve been laying in. For what do you know? Not only is he into the same authors and tv shows I love, he’s also way into Pokemon!! He even dressed as Red for Halloween last year.
Upon seeing this I took it upon myself to start wearing my Pokemon shirts in hopes that he’d notice me. Lo and behold, he did!
I wore my Mew shirt today and he waited for me after class, until I was done talking to this girl I share the book with, then told me just how awesome he thought my shirt was!
At this point I could have said, “Thanks! I’m that guy who’ll never get over Pokemon, are you into them?”
To which he would respond with, “of course I am! Do you play the games?”
In turn I would say,” duh! Do you? If so we should hang out and trade sometime!”
He’d naturally say,” totally!”
And hence our first date would be set.
Instead, the following occurred:
After his compliment I responded with, “thanks, it was my mom’s in the 80s!”
He laughed and said, “that’s cool!”
I the proceeded to discontinue eye contact and race out the door!
Why can’t I act like the confident gay man I would otherwise be if I didn’t have a crush on him!?!! Grrrrr!
That is all.

CS Lewis: To love at all (x)
(via nerdycommunity)
Slim darling, you came along and into my arms and into my heart and all the real true love I have is yours – and now I’m afraid you won’t understand and that you’ll become impatient and that I’ll lose you – but even if that happened, I wouldn’t stop loving you for you are my last love and all the rest of my life I shall love you and watch you and be ready to help you should you ever need help.
All the nice things I do each day would be so much sweeter and so much gayer if you were with me. I find myself saying a hundred times a day, ‘If Slim could only see that’ or ‘I wish Slim could hear this.’ I want to make a new life with you – I want all the friends I’ve lost to meet you and know you and love you as I do – and live again with you, for the past years have been terribly tough, damn near drove me crazy. You’ll soon be here, Baby, and when you come you’ll bring everything that’s important to me in this world with you.
