And I Haven't Even Read His Books Yet!

 I makes me incredibly sad that John Green is already married. I want a hot, smart, geeky guy with glasses for my very own!

(And seriously, I just figured out that the hot guy with the glasses who makes the hilarious video posts is John Green, aka that YA author whose books have been on my reading list every since I read Let It Snow. I tried to go to a YA conference where he was speaking but it would have cost $150 and taken up an entire Saturday of my dead week. Had a known he was a nerdfighter, things might have gone differently.)

A smattering of youtube clips behind the cut to provide illustration:

So Sweet | And So Cold

This Is Just To Say
by William Carlos Williams

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

When I first read this, in one of my first community college classes, I wrote "me and my mom's relationship with food"  (grammatically incorrect, I know) and when I read it to her later, she cracked up.

The last couple of days, LJ will randomly go slow. Has this been happening to anyone else?
