She terrifies me for one seconds all the time. THIS IS A DIFFICULT QUESTION.

• ADVENTURES!!! Dan Brown is always trustworthy for a good twisting fact-based adventure ride. Robert Ludlum writes a good book but he can get himself into boring ruts and his run-on sentences are a bit grating. I would avoid Umberto Eco, even though his novels advertise themselves as super incredible things. There are a thousand books everyone should read, but a good absorbing adventure passes the time quickly and is always enjoyable.
• GO TO THE MOVIES AND WATCH ALL THE THINGS. Buy 1001 Films You Must See Before You Die and choose the ones you want to watch and watch them. Make a habit of actually watching the things you told yourself you’d watch.
• WATCH FRINGE!!!
• If you’re not into anime and you’d like to be, or not into crime shows and you’d like to be, or not into quirky comedies and you’d like to be, Google ‘Top 10 of This Thing’ and normally you’ll come up with some decent picks.
• Go to second-hand book stores! I went two days ago and bought about 10 books for under $60. If you find a quality book store (and this means interesting and quirky, not expensive), you’ll find some incredible things. I picked up a philosophical book called Religion and the Decline of Magic for like $7, and that sounds like literally the best non-fiction book ever written to me. 
• Assassin’s Creed
• Get into a theme. Pick a theme. Because if you pick a theme you really really love, it’s incredibly easy to keep up with that theme. For example: adventures! I saw Angels and Demons, and I finally ordered the soundtrack. So I decided to read the book; then I read all the Dan Brown books, then found similar authors, and films, and non-fiction, and began building a little base of knowledge. It’s fun, and a fantastic way to learn things.
• LEARN THINGS!!! Pick another theme you love that’s non-fiction (eg: Mayans or Ancient Egypt or the CIA or Nicholas Cage) and learn everything about it in little snippets. Find articles about that thing’s greatest secrets and learn all sorts of things other people don’t know.
• DON’T FORCE YOURSELF TO DO ANYTHING YOU DON’T WANT TO DO BECAUSE THAT’S SHIT
• Make lists or buy lists or find lists because usually those lists are better than this one

oh my god

What are you talking about? I didn’t reblog anything, I created it. With one post; a post about how Australians say ‘Tumblr’ — a passing comment, a useless comment, a frankly somewhat stupid comment.

I think the major thing we need to understand here is perspective. Let’s employ some of that right now. Oh look, now I see — a girl who has never practised racism in her life, believes it a horrible and degrading crime, actively works against it, and has never before been considered a racist somehow gets embroiled in an unfortunate situation and is therefore — oh my god — a racist.

Unlike, say, actual racists who actually find other races less important or worthy of human rights, or the people who actually found that post funny and actually commented that they supported the stereotyping and racial generalisations in that post, who actually are racist.

No way man. It’s clearly me who is the undeniable and damnable racist here.
