I am tired!

"I am tired!

I am true of heart!

And also:

You are tired!

You are true of heart!"

- Dave Eggers

I used to have this Dave Eggers quote up on my blog back in the very beginning but this one has always struck me as well. I don't know. I started my first year of university on Monday. I'm studying French and English. This entire week has been terrifying and exciting at the same time. I quite like it.

But everyone disappears, no matter who loves them

"You and everyone like you, with your Q & As or your columns or Web sites -you all want to be famous, you want to be rock stars, but you're struck in this terrible bind, where you also want to be thought of as smart, legitimate, permanent. So you do your little thing, are read by your little coterie, while secretly seething about the Winona Ryders and Ethan Hawkes, or even the Sari Lockers-"
