-Calvin

-Hobbes

I always thought there were people who leave an indelible mark on your soul. An imprint that can never be erased.

-- Broyles, Fringe 4x02 One Night in October

adj.

B. − [En parlant d'une pers.]

2. Qui manque de courage. Synon. couard, craintif, peureux, froussard (fam.). La guerre se déchaîne quand un peuple dégénère et s'avilit, mais elle dévore les derniers justes, les derniers courageux, et sauve les plus lâches(Giraudoux, Électre, 1937, I, 3, p. 41). Un chef a quelquefois le devoir d'être lâche. Mais à condition qu'il éprouve sa fermeté, à l'occasion (Camus, Justes, 1950, III, p. 349).

− Emploi subst. L'existentialiste, lorsqu'il décrit un lâche, dit que ce lâche est responsable de sa lâcheté (Sartre,Existent., 1946, p. 59).

Dear parentals, sibling and preggy aunt,

I know we all agreed on a kiss and a cry this morning, but I couldn't do it. I wouldn't have made it out the door and I wouldn't 've been able to say what I wanted to say, which is this, that and the other thing.

First the this. Thank you for putting up with my shameful ass this past year. I sucked and you rolled and your patience has been super appreciated.

Second, the that. I love you. I don't say that nearly as much as I want to or as much as you, you, you and you deserve to hear it. You are the best people in Kansas and I suspect the whole world. Though I'll make my final report after I've seen more of it.

Last, the other thing. A word to my soon-to-be niece. I am sorry I won't be there to see you tear open your mom's junk but I promise to be back before you can walk. In the meantime, tell Marshall to dump Lionel, your mom to say yes the next time you dad asks, and you uncle and aunt not to worry about me. I'm finally using my powers for good!

Osaka kara sukibaru shigeru yo! Roughly translated, I will e-mail you from Osaka.

Your daughter, sister, niece and favorite cousin, Kate

"Goals -that word sounds like I'm crew chief at McDonald's or something. But you know, every second of our life we're reaching goals of some sort. Every single second of our lives we're crossing a finish line of some sort, with heaven's roaring cheers surronuding us as we win our way forward. Our smallest acts -crossing a street, peeling an apple, giving Miss January the one-hand salute- are as though we are ripping an Olympic ribbon to thunderous applause. The universe wants us to win. The universe makes sure we're winning even when we lose. I wish that I could have run naked through the streets every moment of my life."

« La goutte d'eau qui fait déborder le vase »

2011-03-19T19:52:00.002+01:00

Signification

Le petit détail supplémentaire qui rend une situation intolérable ou insupportable et qui provoque parfois une réaction violente.

Origine

Sous cette forme, cette expression apparaît chez Stendhal, au début du XIXe siècle, mais Madame de Sévigné, au XVIIe, en utilisait une variante de même sens avec un verre au lieu d'un vase.

On a tous observé ces récipients remplis un peu au delà de leur bord, la limite bombée du liquide 'accrochée' au bord du récipient, avec le trop-plein prêt à s'écouler à l'extérieur au moindre choc ou dès qu'on y rajoute une goutte.
L'expression fait bien le parallèle entre la tension ou l'énervement qui monte (le vase qui se remplit jusqu'à être bien plein) et l'explosion qui suit (le vase qui finit par déborder dès que la petite goutte de trop y a été versée).

LAURA: You know, on the other hand, I mean... Look, ten years of a loving friendship and sporadic, incredible sex scattered with nights so fun, they explain the evolutionary purpose of talking. You know, not to mention the time that we've clocked together. Listening to music. You know, driving with no destination. I guess this, this beautiful mess is best ended without notification. Probably better.

TOM: I'm sorry.

LAURA: Don't be. It was a gift. An act of cowardice so complete, disqualifies a person from consideration.

LAURA: D'un autre côté... Dix ans d'amitié amoureuse et de sexe incroyable, sporadique pimentés de nuits si géniales qu'elles expliquent l'intérêt du dialogue pour l'évolution. Sans parler du temps qu'on a passé ensemble. À écouter de la musique, à conduire sans destination. Je suppose que ce bazar magnifique doit être interrompu sans avertissement. C'est sans doute mieux.

TOM: Je suis désolé.

LAURA: Ne le sois pas. C'était un cadeau. Un acte de lâcheté aussi énorme disqualifie une personne de toute considération.

cacophonie

2011-02-18T22:44:00.003+01:00

(subst. fém.)

A.− Mélange de bruits, de sons discordants qui produisent un effet désagréable à l'oreille. La cacophonie des sifflets et des hurlements (Chateaubriand, Mémoires d'Outre-Tombe, t. 1, 1848, p. 375); les musiques contrariées, qui faisaient des cacophonies (Aragon, Les Beaux quartiers, 1936, p. 164) :

1. Nous ne suivrons pas Malherbe dans tout ce qu'il a dit contre les inversions dures et forcées, lescacophonies, les consonances de l'hémistiche avec la fin du vers et de la fin d'un vers avec l'hémistiche du précédent ou du suivant, etc., etc... Ces conseils fort judicieux et fort utiles n'ont d'inconvénient qu'autant qu'on les érige en règles générales et obligatoires.
Sainte-Beuve, Poésies, 1829, p. 156.

B.− P. anal. Mélange confus de choses diverses. [Dans le bouquet final des fromages] C'était une cacophonie de souffles infects (Zola, Le Ventre de Paris, 1873, p. 832) :

2. ... turbulence, tohu-bohu de styles et de couleurs, cacophonie de tons, trivialités énormes, prosaïsme de gestes et d'attitudes, noblesse de convention, poncifs de toutes sortes, et tout cela visible et clair, non seulement dans les tableaux juxtaposés, mais encore dans le même tableau : ...
Baudelaire, Salon, 1846, p. 192.

2011-01-11T20:51:00.003+01:00

Todos los sitios en los que has vivido y cada una de las personas en las que has encontrado un hogar. Cuando vuelvas a ellos, aunque sea de visita, siempre habrá una parte de ti que se sienta como en casa. Es por ese trocito tuyo que dejaste, y sin el que estás algo menos entero y un poco más lleno. Esa cálida sensación de seguridad permanecerá en ellos esperándote para cuando quieras volver. Por un rato.

Y esa es la primera. Tener una casa a la que volver. O mil.

They make it look so easy, connecting with another human being. It's like no-one told them it's the hardest thing in the world.

-- Dexter 4x12 Through a Glass Darkly

Ils donnent l'impression que c'est si facile, se lier à un autre être humain. C'est comme si personne ne leur avait dit que c'est la chose la plus difficile au monde.

Lo hacen parecer tan fácil, conectar con otro ser humano. Es como si nadie les hubiera dicho que es la cosa más difícil del mundo.

2010-06-11T15:37:00.005+02:00

OLIVIA: Wow, I'm having deja vu.

PETER: Yeah, I read that déjà vu is fate's way of telling you that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. That's why you feel like you've been there before. You are right in line with you're own destiny.

-- Fringe 2x18 "White Tulip"

OLIVIA: J'ai un sentiment de déjà vu.

PETER: J'ai lu qu'on a des sentiments de déjà vu car nous sommes là où nous sommes sensés être. C'est pour ça que tu ressens comme si t'y avais déjà été. Tu es en accord parfait avec ta destinée.

OLIVIA: Wow, estoy teniendo un déjà vu.

PETER: Si, leí que los déjà vu son la forma que el destino tiene de decirte que estás exactamente donde se supone que tienes que estar. Por eso sientes que has estado ahí antes. Estás completamente alineado con tu propio destino.

You better not cry - Augusten Burroughs

2010-03-27T18:37:00.006+01:00

It had been only a couple of hours. But I knew.

I may not have known the facts of him; I couldn't have told you his favorite color, his birthday, or how he liked his coffee. I couldn't have said if he was a Republican or a Democrat or whether he was allergic to cats; but I knew the him of him.

I also knew that one didn't have a second date with this man and then a third, each time getting to know him a little bit better or seeing another "side" of him.

George was vertical, not horizontal. All of him was right there from the first moment. He didn't have "sides"; he had fathoms. If you didn't know him after one date, you couldn't know him. In this way, he was a treasure perfectly hidden right before my eyes. He was the wreck of Sussex in my backyard swimming pool.

I could only be truly crazy if I walked away from such a find.

+++

I struggled in my apartment that night, his phone number in my hand. I knew that if I called him, that would be it -my life would change. I had never felt such an irrational thing about a person I'd only just met. But I knew it was true.

My attraction had been immediate and profound. And it had nothing to do with the way he looked. My attraction was to what resided between his lines.

And attraction is our most ancient drive, it is why we are. Attraction is the very point of gravity; timespace itself bends to allow it. It is attraction in its pure form that holds the galaxy together.

Attraction is our glue.

+++

I knew this: there was only one of him in the world.

One hour with him was denser than all the years spent with everybody else I had ever known.

My instincts were not mistaken.

My instincts had been with me as I crawled from the swamp; my brain only showed up later. It was my instinct I would trust. Even if it defied logic.

Especially if it defied common sense. I wanted nothing to do with common.

But extremely rare and precious specialty items often carry an extraordinary price. I knew this, too.

+++

It was reckless and insane to feel this way about a person I didn't even know. My mind was hurling itself against the walls of my skull in protest. But beneath my sternum that night, I felt a kind of wisdom. I very nearly heard advice: Acceptance, when it comes, arrives in waves: Listen with your chest. You will feel a pendulum swing within you, favoring one direction or another. And that is your answer. The answer is always inside your chest. The right choice weighs more. That's how you know. It causes you to lean in its direction.

I thought, I don't know who he is, but I know he is mine.

+++

There were people who had so much strength that you could borrow some, just by being in the same room with them.

Espósito: Usted no sabe qué es el amor de este tipo. Cómo mueve. Es como si la muerte de la mujer lo hubiese dejado ahí detenido para siempre, eterno. ¿Me entiende? Tenés que ver lo que son los ojos de él, Pablo. Están en estado de amor puro. ¿Usted se imagina lo que puede ser un amor así? Sin el desgaste de lo cotidiano, de lo obligatorio.
Irene: Lo dirá por usted, porque a mí no me pasa.

Espósito: ¿Ves? No quiero dejar pasar todo de nuevo. ¿Cómo puede ser? ¿Cómo puede ser que no haga nada? Hace veinticinco años que me pregunto, y hace veinticinco años que me contesto lo mismo. Dejá, fue otra vida. Ya pasó, ya está, no preguntes. No pienses. No fue otra vida. Fue ésta. Es ésta. Ahora quiero entender todo. ¿Cómo se hace para vivir una vida vacía? ¿Cómo se hace para vivir una vida llena de nada? ¿Cómo se hace?

Morales: ¿A usted que le importa, si es mi vida y no la suya?
Espósito: No, Morales, no. Es mi vida, también. Su amor por esa mujer, nunca más volví a ver, en nadie. En nadie. Nunca.

Espósito: No sé. Le doy vueltas y vueltas, y ya no sé qué pensar.
Morales: Elija bien. Lo único que nos queda son recuerdos. Al menos que sean lindos, ¿no?

Morales: No le de más vueltas. Va a empezar con que si hubiera estado, si no hubiera estado... Va a tener mil pasados y ningún futuro. No piense más, hágame caso. Se va a quedar solo con recuerdos.

NICK: So you say you don't believe in love now, but have you always felt that way?
CHARLYNE: I believed in it when I was a kid, but again, all my ideas about love kind of came from movies and faiy tales. And as I grew up I realized that life is nothing like that.
NICK: Was that 'cause you had your heart broken?
CHARLYNE: No. I've only ever had one boyfriend. I thought I really liked him. I thought he was all dark and mysterious and he had shadows under his eyes. But then I realized that was only because he was on drugs.

CHARLYNE: Well, I think everyone means something to someone. And we're all a bit skeptical, but I don't want to end up a lonely old spinster. I don't think anyone wants to.

CHARLYNE: The captain yelled through his megaphone, threatening to shoot, but I didn't care. And I told them that too. I told them, "I don't care! Life is too short to be wondering what if! Sometimes you just gotta live and see what happens, even if you get hurt. Sometimes you can only feel something if you take a risk. And I, Charlyne Yi, am taking that risk. Arghh-hh-hh!"

Llámame tonto. Olvida todo lo que haya podido decirte hasta ahora. No me arrastres, no me asustes. Vete lejos, pero no sueltes mi mano. Empecemos de nuevo. Toca mis ojos. Nota la textura del calor. ¿Por cuánto te vendes? Píllate los dedos. Deja que te invite a un café, caliente, claro. Y sin azúcar... sin aliento.

LESLIE: No, not love. Not love. Love is... a guessing game. And that's the beauty of it. There's no guarantees. It's like... diving into a pool of water without knowing if it's shallow or deep. And sure, yeah, if it's shallow, you end up hurt and paralyzed from the neck down. But if it's deep... you know... It's a leap of faith. It's like throwing yourself out there without any guarantees, dude, and that's what life's about. Okay, you know those carnival games, right? And you know how some of them are really hard to win and some of them are super easy and everyone wins?
CHRIS: Sure.
LESLIE: Well, it's just that that's the difference between love and sex. Sex is the game where everyone wins a little prize, and no one goes home a loser. And... love is the game that's really hard to win. But if you do, and you get to take home that life-sized stuffed rhinoceros, it feels a whole lot better than taking home that shitty little plastic key chain.

And don't kid yourself, it's by no means all up to your own human ingenuity. A bigger part of your existence is luck than you'd like to admit.

El silencio insulta, la ausencia de la razón turba
Puede lo que quedó sobre la piel a la mirada que traspasó

Y el recuerdo quiere ganar al sueño

Después de no querer querer y resistirse a olvidar
A veces no queda más que hacer que borrar
Lejos de cubrir el desaguisado con una nueva capa
Me lo tomo con calma
Con más miedo que nunca y menos esperanza,
Deshago el trabajo de la mañana cada tarde
Penélope necia y desganada

Y el recuerdo sigue queriendo ganar al sueño

En medio del ruido de fondo de una frecuencia vacía,
Me llega un mensaje, claro y más que razonable
Deja de escuchar a la nada, atrévete a volver a soñar

2. Si eres débil -y lo serás, no te engañes-, con objeto de minimizar el impacto de ésta tu debilidad, permítete volver un máximo de una vez diaria.

3. Recordar está prohibido después de las siete, al igual que los carbohidratos.

4. Ya que debes saltarte alguna norma, olvida la estupidez de los carbohidratos y consume todos los que te pida el cuerpo.

5. Vuelve a ser tú misma lo más rápido que puedas. Eso incluye los buenos hábitos y el saludable nivel de autoestima.

6. Cuida tu caligrafía. "Despacito y con buena letra" tiene su razón de ser, y te hará sentir mejor contigo misma.

CELINE: And, how can you say that? Because... I mean, I always feel like a freak because I'm never able to move on like... this! You know? People just have an affaire, or even entire relationships. They break up and they forget! They move on like they would have changed a brand of cereals.

I feel I was never able to forget anyone I've been with. Because each person had their own specific qualities. You can never replace anyone. What is lost is lost. Each relationship, when it ends, really damages me, I never fully recover. That's why I'm very careful with getting involved, because it hurts too much. Even getting laid! I actually don't do that. I will miss of the person the most mundane things. Like I'm obsessed with little things.

Maybe I'm crazy, but when I was a little girl, my mom told me that I was always late to school. One day she followed me to see why. I was looking at chestnuts falling from the trees, rolling on the sidewalk, or ants crossing the road, or the way a leaf casts a shadow on a tree trunk... Little things. I think it's the same with people. I see in them little details, so specific to each other, that moved me, and that I miss, and will always miss. You can never replace anyone, because everyone is made of such beautiful specific details.

JESSE: Why didn't we do that?

CELINE: Because we were young and stupid?

JESSE: You think we still are?

CELINE: I guess when you're young, you just believe there'll be many people with whom you'll connect with. Later in life you only realize it only happens a few times.

+++

CELINE: Well, all these couples expected after a few years of living together for the passion, that consuming desire, to be the same as in the beginning.

JESSE: It's impossible!

CELINE: No, I know, I know that. I mean, God, otherwise we would end up with aneurism if we were in that constant state of excitement, right? We would end up doing nothing at all with our lives. Do you think you would have finished your book, if... if you were fucking somebody every 5 minutes?

JESSE: I might have welcomed the challenge...

+++

CELINE: I was thinking. For me it's better I don't romanticize things as much anymore. I was suffering so much all the time. I still have lots of dreams, but they're not in regard to my love life. It doesn't make me sad, it's just the way it is.

JESSE: Is that why you're in a relationship with somebody who's never around?

CELINE: Yes, obviously, I can't deal with the day to day life of a relationship. Yeah, we have, you know, this exciting time together and then he leaves and I miss him, but at least I'm not dying inside. When someone is always around me, I'm like suffocating!

JESSE: No, wait, you just said that you need to love and be loved...

CELINE:Yeah, but when I do, it quickly makes me nauseous! It's a disaster. I mean, I'm really happy only when I'm on my own. Even being alone... it's better than sitting next to a lover and feeling lonely. It's not so easy for me to be a romantic. You start off that way, and, after you've been screwed over a few times, you... You forget about all your delusional ideas, and you just take what comes into your life. That's not even true, I haven't been screwed over, I've just had too many bla relationship. They weren't mean, they cared for me, but they were no real connection, or excitement. At least, not from my side.

JESSE: God, I'm sorry, is it... Is it really that bad? It's not, right?

CELINE: You know? It's not even that, I was... I was fine. Until I read your fucking book! It stirred shit out from you, it reminded me how genuinely romantic I was, how I had so much hope in things and now it's like I don't believe in anything that relates to love, I don't feel things for people anymore. In a way, I put all my romanticism into that one night and I was never able to feel all this again. Like, somehow this night took things away from me and I expressed them to you and you took them with you! It made me feel cold, like if love wasn't for me!

JESSE: I... I don't believe that. I don't believe that.

CELINE: You know what? Reality and love are almost contradictory for me.

+++

CELINE; But it's my fault, I know that it's my fault, because I never felt it was the right man. Never! But what does it mean the right man? The love of your life? The concept is absurd, the idea that we can only be complete with another person is... EVIL! Right?

JESSE: Can I talk?

CELINE; You know, I guess I've been heart broken too many times. And then I recovered. So now, you know, form the starts, I make no effort. Because I know exactly what hap...

JESSE: You can't do that. You can't do that, you can't live your life trying to avoid pain, at the expense of en...

CELINE; Ok, you know what? Lose our words! I've gotta... I've gotta get away from you. Stop the car, I want to get out!

+++

JESSE: You know, that I ca... that I can't keep living like this, that there's gotta be something more to love than commitment. But then I think that I might have given up on the whole idea of romantic love. That I... I might have put it to bed, that day when you weren't there. You know, I think I might have done that.

flaky

2009-09-28T10:23:00.000+02:00

also adj., -i·er, -i·est.

Made of or resembling flakes.
Forming or tending to form flakes or thin, crisp fragments: flaky pastry.
Slang. Somewhat eccentric; odd: "that slightly flakey quality, in joy as well as in grief, that prepares us subtly for the mad scenes to come" (Village Voice).

flakily flak'i·ly adv.
flakiness flak'i·ness n.

Hacker Slang: flaky

(var sp. flakey) Subject to frequent lossage. This use is of course related to the common slang use of the word to describe a person as eccentric, crazy, or just unreliable. A system that is flaky is working, sort of — enough that you are tempted to try to use it — but fails frequently enough that the odds in favor of finishing what you start are low. Commonwealth hackish prefers dodgy or wonky.

The Ones That I Worship

2009-09-20T16:04:00.002+02:00

There are living among(st) two dutiful daughters
Of a man who possesses two beautiful daughters
The most glorious beings in creation;
They'd be the pride and joy of any nation.
You cannot know, nor (yet) try to guess,
The sweet soothingness of their caress
The outstanding genius of this pair
Is understood by few, they are so rare.
Compared with these two, every man is a fool.
The world is most honoured that they should deign to rule,
And above us these Goddesses reign on high.
I worship the power of these lovely two
With that adoring love known to so few.
'Tis indeed a miracle, one must feel,
That two such heavenly creatures are real.
Both sets of eyes, though different far, hold many mysteries strange.
Impassively they watch the race of man decay and change.
Hatred burning bright in the brown eyes, with enemies for fuel,
Icy scorn glitters in the grey eyes, contemptuous and cruel.
Why are men such fools they will not realize
The wisdom that is hidden behind those strange eyes?
And these wonderful people are you and I.

Pauline Yvonne Parker, 1953. (back of diary)

REBADOW: You know, you try to prepare for a death, but always secretly you believe there's a chance that the doctors were wrong, that they'll find a cure, and that as long as he's alive there's time. So, while you think you're stealing yourself, all you're really doing is waiting on the miracle, which is why, when death comes, it's so horrible, because you realize... you weren't prepared at all.
BUSMALIS: But you knew last night.
REBADOW: On some level.

Repulsive. Living vicariously through your kids and sexualizing them since age three in the process. Wow, BIG parenting FAIL, people.

Someone who has recovered form the shock enough to put two coherent words together about it writes:

If you aren’t familiar with the show, I’ll share what I have gathered from watching about two minutes of the show on the internet. I wasn’t comfortable watching any more than that because I’m pretty sure my IP or MAC address would have been logged in the FBI’s pedophile database if I had. But I digress. As far as I can tell, this is the show: a bunch of maniacal, sicko parents with serious mental issues paint up their daughters, whose ages range from about three or four to ten or so, like little hookers and enter them in beauty pageants, and the show documents various families as they prepare for the big pageant.

The rest of the entry here: TLC's latest abomination is a show pedophiles will love. Everyone else will just be creeped out..

I personally intend to infantilize mine until they decide to join a convent. For reals. Well, obviously won't be doing that either. But it would be preferrable.

Oh, and I'm not including any kind of video content or links for obvious reasons.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky

2009-07-08T20:13:00.001+02:00

Charlie, we accept the love we think we deserve.

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

I have decided that maybe I want to write when I grow up. I just don't know what I would write.

This moment will just be another story someday.

I am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.

Sometimes, I look outside, and I think that a lot of other people have seen this snow before. Just like I think that a lot of other people have read those books before. And listened to those songs. I wonder how they feel tonight.

And all the books you’ve read have been read by other people. And all the songs you’ve loved have been heard by other people. And that girl that’s pretty to you is pretty to other people. And you know that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing "unity".
It’s like when you are excited about a girl and you see a couple holding hands, and you feel so happy for them. And other times you see the same couple, and they make you so mad. And all you want is to always feel happy for them because you know that if you do, then it means you’re happy, too.

I walk around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why.

So I tried it. I closed my eyes and tried to imagine my monster. What would it look like? Big, I decided. Bigger than me. Dark, definitely dark. Masked, one with the shadows. Trim enough to sneak up on you, and yet stout, corpulent enough that he could clearly overpower you anytime. Not necessarily male but decidedly masculine, aggressive. Slits for eyes, of a really clear or bright color.

Then I concentrated on the opposite image. A skinny, stringy, glowing-in-the-dark, sexless, big-eyed, effeminate, unmissable, unavoidable, thinner than air light creature that came directly at me in an open space, at light speed.

Well, that is fucking scary too.

¡Pensaba que lo había perdido!

Y menos mal que no. Vivan los padres liberales y rojillos que saben educar a sus niños (véanse: los míos). Este es el TBO que mis progenitores me procuraron (mentira, ya lo tenían y acabo de darme cuenta de que era más para adultos pero para niños) para explicarme todo eso de dónde vienen los niños (spoiler alert: no los trae la cigüeña).

Elaborado por la Obra Nacional de la Infancia Belga (tomayá) y llegado hasta mí gracias a la traducción y editado del Excmo. Ayuntamiento de Zaragoza. Yo que lo recordaba como un libro de los de verdad de tapa dura, resulta que es un tebeucho grapado... Pero eso es lo de menos.

Es completito, completito. Desde los cambios que sufren los adolescentes mutantes hasta el nacimiento pasando por -por supuesto- cómo se hacen los nenes y hasta una visión detallada (uso esta palabra en un sentido liberal) de cada uno de los trimestres del embarazo.

Iba a compartirlo con el mundo por aquí, pero me ha salido un fichero gigantesco, así que... Lo he puesto en sendspace y hasta que dure (nota: no duran mucho). Es un .zip para no hacerlo demasiado complicado para nadie (nota2: eso es una "carpeta comprimida"). Lo recomiendo muy mucho. De hecho siempre me ha parecido una genial idea como cuento informativo para críos y, cuando tenga zagales propios (si toca, y donde digo propios quiero decir legalmente propios) si el original que tengo ahora en mis manos termina de caerse a cachos y no encuentro copia nueva... espero les sirva la copia digital.

Serem una entitat, vindrem en pack indivisible. 2x1. Tant temps ocupant el mateix espai físic farà que perdem el compte.

Ens començarà a importar això del compte. El temps començarà a pesar i la convivència escanyarà. Buscarem una excusa, no et suporto més i això no ho aguanto i es va acabar.

Però no s'acabarà tan fàcil ni tan definitivament. Intentarem reconstruir una indivualitat escindida en dues, i durarà fins que el silenci fastiguegi. Arribarà un dia que ens podrà l'avorriment i en una arrencada de sinceritat, nocturnitat, alcoholisme o probablement una combinació de les tres, reprendrem el compte. El temps tornarà a deixar d'importar, perquè se'ns oblidi contar-lo. Serem una entitat.

Te deseo tanto que estoy llorando. Escribo, deseándote, y unas lágrimas como piedras blandas caen sobre mi mesa de trabajo, impías, impasibles cual llanto ajeno, la dádiva que alguna plañidera ascentral me cede movida por la compasión.
Lloro porque sé por qué lloro. Me siento embrutecida y derrotada, aterradoramente lúcida, impotente para sofrenar las riendas de este chaparrón dócil y orondo que, tengo la certidumbre, no traerá consigo un próximo arco iris.
Desapercibida de cuanto me rodea los interrogantes atropellan buscando con torpeza alguna respuesta esclarecedora.

Deixa de mirar-me. No em demanis un gest, no em demanis un si.

No puc permetre'm acostumar-me a que siguis aquí. ¿Com em torno a acostumar a mi quan et vagis? ¿Què passa quan ens deixem, i no tinguem a qui tornar al final del dia? Tindré qué ser capaç d'ensenyar-me a tornar a respirar quan tinguis a algú nou a qui tornar al final de la resta dels teus dies.

I, ¿això com es fa?

Me toca los ovarios como nada la gente que habla de lo que no sabe.

Elvira Lindo acerca de la campaña "¡Protege mi vida!":

Que cuidamos más al lince que a nuestros hijos, dicen. ¿Qué sabrán de hijos o del amor sexual aquellos que prometen mantenerse al margen de esa experiencia durante toda su vida?

Estoy convencida de que hay muchos creyentes que no participan de la crueldad de un Papa que visita un continente que se muere de sida y recomienda la castidad en lugar del condón.

[...]

Pero no creo que haya que infravalorar la presión de una Iglesia que actúa como un animal herido. Son muchas las veces que han tenido que pedir perdón, por su actitud ante el genocidio, por su negación a la evidencia científica, pero en esta ocasión, con 22 millones de personas agonizantes que mueren antes de los 30 años, casi me atrevería a afirmar que no tienen perdón de Dios.

Esta campaña francamente me obliga a poner los ojos en blanco cada vez que paso por uno de las cincuenta vallas publicitarias que ocupan. Hipocresías aparte, me toca la moral lo burros que nos puede llegar a hacer la falta de educación científica. Menos mal que no conduzco.

Heartless lying bastard

Let me tell you something you may not know about me.

I was born without a heart. Got a transplant at eleven days old because my mother thought it was weird. Really, not that it was life threatening or anything, but it gave her the willies. Mostly, I think she felt guilty she didn't know who my father was and was desperate to make me whole. No such luck.

It didn't take. And so I stand here, as heartless as I was brought into this world, telling you it's not you, it's me.

You see, I have an itchy ring finger. Not that serious, really. It's just it's always been naked. I guess I kept it that way for too long, because now, whenever a pretty girl responds to my attentions, the third finger of my left hand starts to itch like crazy. It's no mild irritation, mind you. It's mind-numbingly haunting. Comes from underneath my skin, I can feel it. Like a fucking billion red big-bummed ants are crawling inside that particular phalange. There's been occasions where I've woken up next to some gorgeous woman my inexistent heart couldn't feel a thing for to find I had scratched myself to the bone. Literally.

If you don't believe me you should know I'm actually physically incapable of telling a lie. It's a bit of a problem, actually. When I try to utter a statement I know to be false, I get this allergic reaction to the essense of the untruth that makes my throat close up. It's an extremely rapid swelling. Kind of uncomfortable.

Anyway, you can rest assured that I am being honest here. You will see no struggle for breath or sign of gagging when I tell you this. I don't fucking love you.

I do not and could not ever hold any kind of romantic feelings for you whatsoever. Not even a teansy bit of affection.

However, my finger's driving me nuts, so let's put a few miles between us, yeah?
