John Green
Go spit in the face of our inevitable obsolescence and finish your @#$&ng novel.
John Green
I do not say goodbye. I believe that's one of the bullshitiest words ever invented. It's not like you're given the choice to say bad-bye, or awful-bye, or couldn't-care-less-about-you-bye. Everytime you leave, it's supposed to be a good one.
