02 May 16 UTC Spring, 4: Dear Fellas. I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called the Brewer, and a job bagging groceries at the Food-Way. It's hard work. I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello. But he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doing okay and making new friends. I have trouble sleeping at night. I have -- bad dreams, like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Food-Way, so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense anymore. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.
02 May 16 UTC Spring, 4: You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right. I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you, but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me. I'm not changing. I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get

02 May 16 UTC Autumn, 4: i decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally;
i never expected it to do anything special for me, yet i seemed
to accomplish far more than i had ever hoped. most of the time
it just happened to me without me ever seeking it.
02 May 16 UTC Spring, 5: Am I mad at you? That’s your main concern after shattering my whole world? Mad for what? Breaking my heart? Or for all the lies? Maybe for letting me put all my trust in you only to be betrayed? How about the fact you didn’t even have the decency to tell me to my face? Or the way you think it’s crazy that I’m crying over it cause to you breaking up is no big deal. Am I mad at you?… no. More like crushed… did I ever really know you?
02 May 16 UTC Spring, 5: Hell no you didn't
02 May 16 UTC Spring, 5: He smashes Harry aganest the wall and says nicely "Did you or did you not put your name in the goblet of fire
02 May 16 UTC Autumn, 5: He said calmly
02 May 16 UTC Autumn, 5: I am still saving myself from the last time you came knocking at my door. I shattered my wrists to catch myself from falling. After you left, I patched up my own ribcage, bone by broken bone. The truth is, I stopped saying sorry a while ago. I figured out that I was never built to be fragile. I was made from fire, beautiful but annihilating. You didn’t understand that I was not meant to love, I was meant to burn. And I will light the world on fire with my matchstick heart.
02 May 16 UTC Autumn, 5: ROSEBUD
02 May 16 UTC Autumn, 5: There are mysteries to the universe we were never meant to solve. But who we are and why we are here, are not among them. Those answers we carry inside. I am Optimus Prime, and this message is to my Creators: leave planet Earth alone, 'cause I'm coming for you!
02 May 16 UTC Autumn, 5: Autobots, we're going to prove who we are and why we're here!
02 May 16 UTC Spring, 6: "I'm melting! Melting! Oh, what a world! What a world!Who ever thought a little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?! Ah, I'm going! Ahhh"
02 May 16 UTC Spring, 6: You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine"
02 May 16 UTC Spring, 6: "I know now why you cry. But it's something I can never do"
02 May 16 UTC Spring, 6: "Go ahead! I take your *beep* bullets! You think you kill me with bullets? I take your *beep* bullets! Go ahead!"
02 May 16 UTC Spring, 6: ...heaven, I'm in heaven ..."
02 May 16 UTC Spring, 6: "I want you to promise me you're not gonna stop this fight, no matter what. No matter what!"
02 May 16 UTC Spring, 6: Promise me, Rose. And never let go of that promise.
