A mixture of the odd personal post and a good dose of Community, Arrested Development, The Hunger Games, New Girl, Happy Endings, Pretty Little Liars, The Vampire Diaries, The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, Skins, Flight of the Conchords, Daria and random things that amuse me.

"There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state to another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life." - Alexandre Dumas
