so, if John Green is the father of Henry Green, and he is known for “the puff” does Henry get to call him Puff Daddy? I hope John Green never sees this…he’ll probably think I’m stupid…

You know, being of a some-what intelligent person, I enjoy things that some might think qualifies me as a “loser”. But any person with a shred of appreciation for literature might find this enjoyable. I am sorry to say i cannot take credit for it. The rights of such an amazing piece go to my sister, Olivia Carpenter.

“You know the part of Pride and Prejudice, when Mr. Darcy tells Elizabeth, ‘You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you’ ? He says it that way because admiration is different than love. Admiration is when you look and say ‘I like that person, and would like to be with him/her’. Love is when you look at someone and say ‘I like that person. If being with me would make him/her happy, then that is what I want. If he/she would be happy with that person over there, then I would want that for them instead.’ Love is when you cease to matter in the equation of their happiness. You are no longer part of the equation at all unless you are what makes that person happy. Their happiness is all that matters.”
