January 2010
Playing 2009 out,
with The Hobbit and Ella Fitzgerald.
I love you guys. Bonne année!
For no reason whatsoever, here’s a list of all the books and DVDs and shit directly to the left of me:
— my planner (aka my life) — a soft-cover plain moleskine notebook (mostly empty) — a hardcover ruled moleskine notebook (half-full of weird shit) — The Hobbit — The Fellowship of the Ring — Breakfast of Champions — Nicholas Nickleby (FUCK MY LIFE)...
I just got this surge of, ugh millions of people in the eastern and central time zones are going to be kissing and hugging in 27 minutes, and I’m laying in my bed alone, listening to Ella Fitzgerald, which isn’t something I’d normally complain about, but right now I feel like complaining about it.
It was never supposed to make sense.
Parting Words by Michael Giacchino
This piece...
“What are you thinking, Michelle Obama? You’re a first lady, not a BCBG...”
– Sylvy and I speak in meme
“I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart: I am, I am, I am.”
– The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (via colourmegreenwich)
December 2009
— work 9-1 — quick shower — head to Aventura mall to meet up with Sylvy — drive home — fall asleep until next year
“J.Kras should’ve been naked.”
– Sam. I’m not telling you the context because, well, I can. (via rocketlauncher / brighteryellow)
No context necessary, ever, really.
“Your robot reminds me of you. You tell it to turn, it stops. You tell it to...”
– Jack Hodgins to Zack Addy, Bones (via piers-polkiss)

RE: i miss glee, and
sognare:
everyone: stop being sad. dan, this is mostly to you. but whoever else is sad, STOPIT!
IT’S A NEW YEAR,
FUCK BITCHES GET MONEY.
loljk.
but really. it’s almost 2010. forget all the people in your life that upset you. DON’T GO BACK TO THAT.
start fresh. new year, new friends, new relationships, new everything. <333 COME ON :)
I don’t think I’m being cynical or sad...
Can I skip tomorrow night please?
I think New Year’s is the most empty holiday we celebrate. Can I please just stay in bed and read in peace and quiet? No, probably not. All the fireworks. The noise and fuss and hollow excitement. I think about the past, present, and future every day. Why should I think about it more than normal tomorrow? It’s just a Thursday, everyone calm down.
Sherlock Holmes
I can’t really complain about seeing Robert Downey, Jr. on a big screen for two hours, and technically I didn’t pay to see it, so…
~shrugs
There was a point where my ears pricked up, though… Holmes says a line about going “down the rabbit hole” and I was like what what I don’t remember if Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland predates the publishing of...
I guess I /am/ going to see Holmes tonight?
With my dad, though. Here’s hoping he stops bitching about how Sherlock Holmes wasn’t meant to be a comedy, it was meant to be a thrilling mystery adventure. It’s a Guy Ritchie film, dad. Please deal with it and don’t ruin Robert Downey, Jr. night for me.
He’s in a bad mood, though, and I can’t blame him. He was supposed to drive down to Key West today with...
Michael Giacchino's score for Lost is fucking...
It might be a main reason I’m able to watch the show at all right now.
Rolling Stone: Let me guess. You don’t celebrate on New Year’s Eve, either. Sufjan Stevens: I can’t stand it. There’s something about a New Year’s party that I find really phony. I don’t like false pretenses and false parties. In those environments I’m a bit of a curmudgeon.

So what’s your goal in life? What do you want to be “when you grow up”?
My goal in life is to be happy. That’s a big and difficult aspiration to deal with, I think! But in terms of career, I know I want to be a librarian. I think this idea was planted in me from watching The Pagemaster every day as a child, and over the past year or so I’ve fully realized that...
Some things.
— Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut — Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut — Persuasion by Jane Austen — new underwear — new dress
I got all of those today.
I have terrible buyer’s remorse. Why did I get two KV books, when I just as easily could have gotten one, and I haven’t even finished the one I’m reading right now! I don’t need this...

What do you value most in a person? What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?
I think the most valuable things for someone to have are empathy, a sense of loyalty, and a passion for something. With those, you can do or be anything.
Advice and I don’t usually get along. I struggle with receiving it graciously, especially when it’s unsolicited or...

Ask me questions, maybe? I like big questions. I like big stories, too.

Yep. We’re tossing a few pizzas tonight while the Badgers whale on Miami; I’ll be posting some photos and thoughts afterward. If you’re into it.
The Badgers better hammer the Canes! We beat ya’ll last year, and if you beat Miami this year, it’s like we beat Miami by proxy.
It’s true, team rivalries in Florida make no sense whatsoever.

A turbulent history of crushes.
This boy I had a tiny crush on sophomore year of high school just added (re-added? I may have chopped him this summer during my clean-sweep) me on Facebook, and it made me laugh and remember. We had geometry together, and he was like, cookie-cutter sarcastic and antagonizing, but at the same time he was always kind of nice to me… like, even though we never had another class together,...
PEACHES DROOLED ON MY SNUGGIE
When I left her in my room earlier, I said to her, don’t sleep on any of my shit. SHE FOUND AND BURROWED INTO A PLACE SO SHE COULD SLEEP ON AND FUR UP MY SNUGGIE.

Haha, Sam, they just dissed Tom Sawyer on Futurama by calling it a corny slice of Americana. I thought of you. I will admit my own fondness for Sawyer & Huck Finn comes from the fact that my mom read them to my brother & me. It’s just a nice memory =) —Rach
Aw, that kind of memory is special. When I was a lot younger, my dad used to read The Hobbit to...

What does your Tumblr name mean? ‘Cause every time I see it I want to drink an ice cold glass of soy milk.
I feel like I answer this all the time, but it doesn’t mean anything past being a short mash-up of my first and last names (Sam and Hoy). Does it need to mean anything more? I don’t think so.

I love your “tilty face” signature pose. It’s cute!
Aww, thanks. :)

Good move, weather. Touché.
I like when I wake up in the morning and it’s 45 degrees, so my first thought is WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY PANTS.
Good thing I have sweaters.
I have to go drop the Jeep off to get the driver’s side seat fix, and then I have to go to the dentist. Worst day ever? Not really the worst, but not the best either.

So, there’s a new (within the past two months) manager at Old Navy, and I was opening with her on Sunday morning, we were fixing signs and stuff together so we were talking, and she used to be GM at an FYE! I thought it was funny, because she’s super sweet and I was so relieved to be opening with her rather than any of the other ON managers, haha.
YAYYY! FYE people are the...

5. I was born in Newport, Rhode Island, then lived in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Marietta, Georgia before moving to where I live now in Florida. Apparently this counts as having moved a lot, which I don’t understand. It doesn’t seem like a lot to me.
That IS a lot! I was born and raised in the same city. The furthest I’ve moved from the home I was brought to when I was first...
