Brain textbook on the effects of schizophrenia.

I made you a card.
I just found this on my computer, and I have no idea what I was planning on doing with it (something something facetious?), but now I’m giving it to the Internet. You’re welcome?
my cultural knowledge is limited, at best
Me: Old Yeller, that's a movie or a t.v. show?
Michael: Movie.
Me: Okay. Lassie was in a t.v. show or movie?
Michael: Show.
Me: What was that called?
Michael: Lassie.

My neuroscience book, inadvertently explaining why taking things for granted is easiest.
Oh, wow. Holy shit. Someone in my facebook feed just checked in to a funeral. : (
The cleaning goblin, that’s what Michael calls her (because she has eyes like Hoggle from Labyrinth!), just told me that I’m never messy.

I was talking to my friend Travis a few months ago and I told him I was bored with life and he told me was into urban exploration, which I knew nothing about—weirdly, considering Pittsburgh would be the ideal place to explore forgotten cityscapes. He’s obviously much cooler than me (for real), and to prove it he sent me over these pictures of the view from the top of the Tacoma Narrow’s bridge:

Found this convo from a few months ago...I miss Karl
Me: I can’t go to a movie tonight, but don’t see Bridesmaids without me!
Karl: Okay!
+The next night we see Bridesmaids, I ask Karl what he did the night before.+
Karl: I saw X-Men.
Me: WHAT?! Why?
Karl: Because I wanted to?
Me: I didn’t want you to see X-Men without me!
Karl: What? You said not to see Bridesmaids without you.
