I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.

Another literary tattoos gleaning. I got a little teary when I read this:
From the novel Boy Detective Fails:
"Wait a moment, what's happening here?" Melinda asks.
"Billy solved a mystery. A great one."
"Wait a minute, what mystery?"
"The one about where you go when you die - ha ha. Go on and tell her what the answer is, Billy."
"Excuse me?"
"Where do you go when you die? Ha ha. Go on, go on and tell her, Billy."
Billy smiles. "You become a little voice in someone's ear telling them that things will be all right."
(I love the literary tattoos community. I may have just written that in the last post, but it can't be said enough. Two of my favorite things.)

“We’re doing all of these things to squeeze things together so we can save time. And I don’t know about you but I don’t have more time, I have less time. But let’s just say that we could save up a whole chunk of time and set it aside—do you know what we’d do with it? Nothing, nothing at all isn’t that the point, to be able to do nothing at all? But we’re not guaranteed that chunk of time, all we have is here and now... and that’s why procrastination feels so right! ” ~ Ellen DeGeneres

QUOTATION: "It's a fearful thing...."
Feb. 10th, 2008 10:11 amSomeone on the literary tattoos community mentioned that This American Life talked about a quote on a headstone in a New England cemetary and I thought it was beautiful:
"It's a fearful thing to love what death can touch."
"It's a fearful thing to love what death can touch."
You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a firefly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer's heart.

QUOTATION: Dogblog
Oct. 26th, 2007 09:05 pm"I don't care who you think you are or where you think you came from, everybody at some point in their life has wanted a dog. And I'm pretty sure I know the real reason. The real reason is: Everybody at some point in their life has wanted to have a stuffed animal come to life and be their pal. Tell me I'm wrong and I will laugh and laugh and laugh."
