55. the bathtub.

"The whole universe depends on everything fitting together just right. If one piece busts, even the smallest piece, the entire universe will get busted…When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me flying around in invisible pieces. I see that I’m a little piece in a big, big universe. In a million years, when kids go to school, they’re gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."

28. freaks and geeks.

the awl asks: "when exactly did it get cool to be a geek?"

Geekiness has accrued cachet, and geeks are becoming the cool guys. In an interview about the comedy web series "Geek Therapy," actress America Young observed: "We started talking about how geek is 'in' now. Everyone, all of a sudden, was proudly waving their geek flag. How cool is it that traditional high school status had been turned on its head?

i often refer to this as "the seth cohen effect"

see also: main streamization of indie rock, largely via television appearances and popular movie soundtracks (see: death cab for cutie, garden state), supposed geeky guys getting the hot girls (see: every teen/young adult/angsty white person movie and television show in the last near decade), and the fashion cardigan for both genders.

i guess it just means being smart is okay now as long as you're also attractive and/or own apple products?
