fuck, marry, kill - ian mckellen (x)
I saw this wonderful video on Towleroad (towleroad.com) and it reminded me of a quote from Bill Bryson’s A Short History of Nearly Everything:
“Not only have you been lucky enough to be attached since time immemorial to a favored evolutionary line, but you have also been extremely—make that miraculously—fortunate in your personal ancestry. Consider the fact that for 3.8 billion years, a period of time older than the Earth’s mountains and rivers and oceans, every one of your forebears on both sides has been attractive enough to find a mate, healthy enough to reproduce, and sufficiently blessed by fate and circumstances to live long enough to do so. Not one of your pertinent ancestors was squashed, devoured, drowned, starved, stranded, stuck fast, untimely wounded, or otherwise deflected from its life’s quest of delivering a tiny charge of genetic material to the right partner at the right moment in order to perpetuate the only possible sequence of hereditary combinations that could result—eventually, astoundingly, and all too briefly—in you.”

Once upon a time, a lonely little boy was beaten up every day.
This continued until high school.
After being kicked in the stomach during a soccer match in Grade 9, the popular, handsome, Grade 11 captain ran over, hugged him and protected him by using himself as a shield.
They’d never met before.
Yesterday was our civil union.
Tony, I love you.
BRB, DYING
Matt Lauer asked Anne about that photo of her vagina and she ended her response with: “I’m sorry that we live in a culture that commodifies sexuality among unwilling participants, which brings me back to Les Mis.”
Flawless segue.
