welcome to the jungle
Dear Adoring Fans/Confused Navigators of the Internet,
Welcome to the newest edition of Potent Quotables. I think it's safe to assume that many of you are here because you've been referred here from my livejournal. In that case, you can skip all this nonsense and get right to the quotes. For those others of you out there, here's the deal.
I collect quotes. Not just famous ones, for I have found that even the common man has his moments of brilliance. Strangers on the street, on the T, in class, at work, even the simpletons at home. I collect them pretty much anywhere. I've been doing it for so long that by now I have a fairly impressive collection. I scribble them wherever I can, and the best of the best (read: legible ones) end up here on teh internetz.
As this is my final year at Emerson College, I decided to create a blog solely for quotes. Mostly, so I can get them out of my livejournal. But primarily, I'm putting them all here so no one has to go through the bullshit of dealing with livejournal, and I don't have to make all my other posts "Friends Only" to keep the creepsters out. And this way, I can throw a link up and get other people who wouldn't check livejournal into it as well.
[Interesting note: the suggestions to fix the word 'creepsters' includes: hipsters, quipsters, tipsters, gypsters, and stepsisters.]
There are a few more blogs I've created here. One is now private due to a rather unfortunate incident that I won't detail here. There is also Sensory Observations of Boston, which I created with a dear counterpart who found herself far too busy to keep up with it at the exact same moment that I did. And lastly, there's a half-assed attempt I made a while ago to transfer all of my existing quotes to a different location. That project has been abandoned. But it's still there if you wanna go looking for it.
Okay faithful readers, perk up. Here's the new shit.
This semester opens with the following persons of note: Robbie, Courtney, Steve Shipps, Jimmy, and a myriad of other characters from Emerson, Jimmy Tingle's Off Broadway, and 33 Bowdoin Street. As the semester continues, more characters will return and some may fade away. But fear not: Steve Shipps has never let me down before.
If you have quotes you want me to post here, or just want to share with me, by all means post a comment. If I wrote something down wrong, or missed something you thought was hilarious, post a comment. If the funny things people say make you pee yourself a little bit, clean yourself up and post an effing comment. I don't want this to go down in flames like everything else in my life.
Woah. Emo Steenie. Gross.
And so, I bid you adieu for this present moment. Within the next twenty minutes or so, I will give you the first official update of this semester. Are you ready to rock? You'd better be.
Fireworks and Puppies,
Your Friendly Neighborhood Steenie
P.S. I do not condone the use of fireworks in or with puppies.
