“Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank...”
– Invictus by William Ernest Henley
I love so many parts of this. That the “unconquerable soul” can overcome circumstance. That you control yourself and that you must, regardless of how your environment treats you.
I like some poetry.

In 2007 I lived in a rural town in Victoria and it...
I argued with the Italian teacher because she said we didn’t fight Italy in World War II.
People are legitimately crazy.

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. the cringe of embarrassment while witnessing an oddly public display of emotional vulnerability, which is the kind of magic trick a good magician never explains—the forces of trust obscured behind a curtain, an endless chain of memories pulled gradually from an open mouth, sparks of rage and bouquets of affection that appear out of nowhere—which allows people to...
holy shit, I just came out to my parents
My heart is beating so hard. I’ve never typed so quickly, my hands are shaking.
I can’t believe this is real.
fuck it
I only wanted Beatles or Lady Gaga. Something Glee...
I got my older brother a gambling kit.
My mum a copy of her favourite musical and the one she saw with Dad on her first date (Les Mis)
My little brother a collection of his favourite books
My soon to be sister-in-law an album she really wanted
And my dad a tv series he loved when we were in Adelaide and really wanted to watch again.
I got a book. One I never heard of before. About computers....
People are getting moody at me for being cynical...
I was more apologetic about this on facebook.
But fuck those people. You can do what you want to do. You can happy and lovely and naieve for one day. You can happy and lovely and naieve all the time, if you like! It doesn’t matter and if it makes you happy, that’s fantastic.
But don’t you dare make me feel bad for not feeling the same way.
I am critical and cynical about any...
Too tired for this christmas shit.
internetpredator:
At work and everyones all joyus. I got roughly 2 hours sleep. Fuck joy.
Fuck joy.
This is my motto.
I love my friends
They’re the most insane, wonderful bunch of people in the world.
I love it when they talk and hang out, because they’re all so interesting and sociable and crazy. When we get together, we do silly, stupid things because we can and we love each other.
When they laugh, I fall in love with each and everyone one of them.
And when each of them have their quiet moments where they stare...
also, more people kill themselves around Christmas...
Now that’s Christmas spirit.
In the US, a woman is raped every 6 minutes; a...

And still, people ask me why I think feminism is relevant in today’s world.
okay, here's why I don't like Christmas!
There’s all the religious connotations but I don’t really think I need to talk about that. Nobody actually goes to mass on Christmas anymore anyway and I don’t really know anyone who treats it like a religious holiday.
It’s not even the blatant commercialism and capitalism I hate. On the contrary, I love getting great bargains this time of year and fighting mobs of people...
“Let’s go get the shit kicked out of us by love!”
– Thomas Sangster, Love Actually (via kate-literally)
oh gosh, I do not like Christmas
Not.
One.
Bit.
I am working on something
I am making this huge document.
And it will contain a list of people who have been in my life, because I am really scared of forgetting them.
And they will each get a page, with a photo and words about how I met them, what we’ve done and what I’ve thought of them.
It will be a very long project and I will constantly update it as people change and life progresses.
But it will always...
I HAVE SO MUCH NEW MUSIC
I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO LISTEN TO FIRST
I have tidied my room
and now I feel all organized and proper and adult-like. Like I’m turning into Gap-Year Jon, a Jon who will one day turn into Brisbane-Jon. I love it when you notice your own character development.

Michael Cera
Helena Bonham Carter
Brandon Flowers
Chris Cofler
Nathan Fillion
Summer Glau

People need to stop being so amazing and famous.
Jon is also obsessed with Megan Washington.
I have a similar list to this, but it is far longer and nerdier.
AH
I wrote this specifically so I could put Washington in it and I FORGOT HER.

oh, Jesus Christ
Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell gets repealed.
and my dashboard is bitching.
Not because all the people I follow are all closet homophobes, far from it.
They just feel it necessary to be angry because they don’t feel anyone should be in the military and this is just opening the door for more people to be killed.

Okay, some people WANT to be in the military. It’s what...
everyone is getting their OP's

watched Scott Pilgrim, Dad adored it
Now have poster but nothing to stick it up with
people are nice
whenever they’re mean, they are just in a bad mood or you don’t understand the whole problem.
they’re actually really nice when you get to know them!
They can't scare me, if I scare them first.: Oh... →

Most. Freakin. Beautiful. Movie.
Ohmygod, why haven’t I seen this before? Best ten bucks I’ve ever spent. I planned to watch half and go to bed but of course I watched the whole thing and now it’s 1am.
The cast was amazing - Colin Firth, Kiera Knightley, Alan Rickman etc. I just can’t even right…
I watched it for the first time a couple of days ago. It’s such a...

Rape should not be used as a political weapon, even though it already is a political weapon. Interpol arresting him just means that they don’t really care about women or rapes or justice and I hope most can see through that.

I actually think the “rape” charges are him having consensual...
