I’m on a poster. It’s weird and incredibly awesome. On Monday morning I’m being flown out to Doha for the book launch of an anthology I’m in called Gathering the Tide. I’m excited and I hope I don’t mess up the panel discussions and my readings!

  • A guy sitting behind me in the library to his friend: See, I told you I couldn't study in the library.
  • His friend: Why on earth not?
  • Guy: I glance up at some point and I fall in love temporarily with the girl sitting opposite me. Sometimes it happens more than once.

If you haven’t had a look at the original manuscript for Alice in Wonderland, you’re missing out. Lewis Carroll handwrote and illustrated the entire thing. I would absolutely love to have a copy of the original, the way he laid it out. The pages are all scanned in and you can look at them on the British Library’s website.

This is both incredibly kitsch and very cool. A couple of people go around London and watch bits of movies at the locations they were filmed. 

(It’s an ad for an upcoming app.)

House 4x12
Wilson: Why not? Why not date you? It’s brilliant. We’ve known each other for years, we’ve put up with all kinds of crap from each other, and we keep coming back. We’re a couple.
House: Are we still speaking metaphorically?

One of the best things I’ve seen. I’m surprised this doesn’t have more likes and reblogs.

Not sure how to react? Let me help you out.

yerawizardharry:

Denying you’re high

Confusion

Mean Girls quote used in a unfunny way

Not sleeping for 24 hours

Porn on your dashboard

When you lose a follower

Somebody tells you they’re a Twilight fan

Somebody asks you if you love Jesus

Not getting what you want

Grammatical errors

Maths

“I can’t go out this weekend”

To all the moments in between these reactions

I have never posted a GIF, probably never will again, but this made me laugh.
