Heroes 

David Bowie: I wish you could swim, like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim. 

Me: Did you know that researchers observed dolphins off the coast of Hawaii swimming through each other’s urine as a way to identify each other? This isn’t as romantic as you think it is, and I’m glad I swim like a person; I really am.


Can’t Feel My Face 

The Weeknd: She told me don’t worry about it, she told me don’t worry no more

Me: Well it’s not HER yogurt you keep eating without asking; it’s MINE.


Forever Your Girl
