I had a dream, I remember, where I am in this painting, Luncheon on the Grass. My dress was thrown off and the picnic basket, filled with bread and fruit, is spilled out upon it, and I am sitting nude on my underclothing, with two gentlemen fully dresse

I'm very worried that you'll find some reason to leave me so I tend to act overly assertive and dominant due to my insecurities but I hope you understand that this is for your own good and soon you'll know how much I love you

I really think we ought to be drinking
The Wild Virgin again
I remember having a beer once
And feeling like a minor god, yes
Just like you did
So, now, listen to me: if she snores all night

Don’t shout. Be nice
Cheer up. Sit up
Straight. Don’t play
With your food. Elbows

Stop scratching
Close your mouth
When you chew
Remember to

It's 50/50 that you'll ever pad your knee enough to ever kneel on it.
