- Republican governors of Democratic-leaning states (but not the reverse).
- Libertarians.
- Ponytails.
- People who don’t capitalize words in text messages.
- Anthropologists.
- Anthropologie.

- That moment right before the tidal wave of awareness crashes into you in the morning, and through the slits in your curtain you can see the dawning sun, and you think maybe,just maybe, the world outside your fortress of covers and blankets and pillows will be just as warm and welcoming as the one inside it.
- Those times when you think there but for the grace of God you could have died, like when you turn onto a road and realizeholy shit there was oncoming trafficbut somehow you were able to squeeze by and isn’t that proof of God and no, not really, it’s not.
- Infinity.
- Limitations.
- People who go out of their way to make sure their sentences don’t end in prepositions because you know they are onto something and if they’re being that careful with their words then goddamn, you’d better watch out.
