I don’t live my life according to the stars) - Yang Metal Horse (Chinese Zodiac) - an INFJ - a Slytherin according to Pottermore but a Ravenclaw according to Hogwarts Extreme - a bit of a nerd, a bit of a geek, and a bit of a dork - pansexual though leaning homoflexible - polyamorous although relationship is monogamous at the moment - into BDSM (I’m a switch) - Scottish - suffering from depression and anxiety, among other issues - on fluoxetine - a crazy cat lady - into recreational drugs - a massive liberal lefty hippie freak - an agnostic, anarchist, egalitarian, feminist, and pacifist - open-minded, opinionated, and full of controversial ideas - not wanting to be different for the sake of it and would rather everyone simply agree with me I hope you enjoy my tumblr. * * * Public figures who I Albert Einstein Anne Frank Audrey Tautou Ben Stiller Billy Connolly Christine Taylor Christopher Walken Dalai Lama (14th) Dara O'Briain Dave Grohl Eddie Izzard Eric Idle Frankie Boyle Helen Keller Kathy Bates Jeffrey Combs Jim Carrey Jo Brand Jon Stewart Leelee Sobieski Mila Kunis Noel Fielding Olivia Colman Patrick Stewart Robert Downey Jr. Russell Howard Sarah Silverman Seth Green Seth Macfarlane Simon Pegg Skin Stephen Fry Steve Carrell Sue Perkins Terry Pratchett Thom Yorke Tracy Chapman Viggo Mortensen Dr. Vilayanur S. Ramachandran * * * FAVOURITE QUOTATIONS “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” - (apparently) Issac Asimov “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” - Martin Luther King, Jr. “In my mind I am eloquent; I can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral ceilings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, everything collapses.” - ‘Warm Bodies’, Isaac Marion “Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” - Kurt Vonnegut “Look at the kind of people who most object to the childishness and cheapness of celebrity culture. Does one really want to side with such apoplectic and bombastic bores? I should know, I often catch myself being one, and it isn’t pretty. I will defend the absolute value of Mozart over Miley Cyrus, of course I will, but we should be wary of false dichotomies. You do not have to choose between one or the other. You can have both. The human cultural jungle should be as varied and plural as the Amazonian rainforest. We are all richer for biodiversity. We may decide that a puma is worth more to us than a caterpillar, but surely we can agree that the habitat is all the better for being able to sustain each. Monocultures are uninhabitably dull and end as deserts.” - Stephen Fry “You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And if you don’t believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them. ‘Cause you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that’s enhanced your lives throughout the years were rrreal fucking high on drugs. The Beatles were so fucking high they let Ringo sing a few tunes” - Bill Hicks “It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.” - Philip K. Dick “That’s the smell of desire, m'lady.” - 'Anchorman’, Brian Fantana “I like turtles.” - Jonathan the Scary Zombie “I hadn’t known there were so many idiots in the world until I started using the Internet.” - Stanislaw Lem “I want to recriminalise homosexuality, so that I can feel dirty when I do it.” - Frankie Boyle “Don’t lower yourself to the level of those you would call beasts unless you want to become a beast yourself.” - Me “I don’t care about any one group of people over another. When I fight, I fight for everyone. That’s how it should be.” - Me “I smell a lot of emotional blackmail and the twisting of words. Must be a conversation about abortion!” - Me “I don’t mind if you don’t agree with me, just as long as you keep quiet about it.” - Me “People think too small.” - Me Most of my own quotes are probably paraphrasing someone better and wiser than I. If you know of any that match up then please inform me so I can put up theirs instead. I hate feeling so vain.
