does anyone else ever get this feeling, whenever you go to a body of water, something euphoric just wells up inside of you??? like... the way that sea foam tickles your skin, or how the first cold splash invigorates you?? or how about when you dive down to the bottom, and you look up just to watch the sunlight shimmer through the surface???? OOOHHH or maybe that feeling you get when the wave beneath you begins to recede, and you dig your toes and fingers into the sand while watching the water race past you?? and don't get me STARTED on aquarium visits—
Friendship ended with Marvel Thor and Loki, now Ragnarok Thor and Loki are my new best friend
(after Loki is chained)
Loki, to Odin: I would wish you the best, but I am the best
Start collecting rocks. Pick up any coin you find on the ground. Take any feather you find on the pavement. Keep the bottle caps. You found a broken toy on the ground? It's a gift from the gods. Give in to the primal urge of 'ooo shiny'. Become a magpie.
There's chaos in water; much more than you can imagine...
❝When I am grown up I shall carry a notebook–a fat book with many pages, methodically lettered. I shall enter my phrases.❞
— Virginia Woolf, The Waves
Virginia Woolf, mid-twentieth century:
❝[L]et us take down one of those old notebooks which we have all, at one time or another, had a passion for beginning.
Most of the pages are blank, it is true; but at the beginning we shall find a certain number very beautifully covered with a strikingly legible hand-writing. Here we have written down the names of great writers in their order of merit; here we have copied out fine passages from the classics; here are lists of books to be read; and here, most interesting of all, lists of books that have actually been read, as the reader testifes with some youthful vanity by a dash of red ink.❞
— Virginia Woolf, "Hours in a Library". Granite and Rainbow: Essays by Virginia Woolf (New York: Harcourt, Brace and Co., 1958),p.25.
