Nea's fangirling

Dearest chatona, have the world bestest birthday! With tons of awesomeness and dancing and lovely boyfriend and cooperative thesis, and inspiration! *huuuugs*

I'm reading The accidental billionaires by Ben Mezrich atm. The Social Network is based on it and it's basically a fan fic. And not a bad one. Not the best, but it's certainly worth reading. Because the author surely ships them.

Examples:
But then, as now, Eduardo had been too busy chasing his dream to spend time thinking about the awkward kid in the corner. Certainly he had no way of knowing, then or now, that the kid with the curly hair was one day going to take the entire concept of social network and turn it on its head. That one day, the kid with the curly hair struggling through that prepunch party was going to change Eduardo's life more than any Final Club ever could.

or, totally flirting, while they're passing a library. (They've just exchanged a couple of sentences for the first time)

'I'm going to have sex in those stacks, I swear it's gonna happen.' [Eduardo said]

It was an old Harvard tradition – something you were supposed to do before you graduated. [...]

'Baby steps,' Mark responded. 'Maybe you should try getting a girl back to your dorm, first.'

Eduardo winced, then grinned again. He was starting to like this kid's caustic sense of humor.

and of course

Eduardo grinned to himself; in a matter of a few short weeks, he and Mark had become close friends. Even though they lived in different houses and had different majors, Eduardo felt that they had a similar spirit—and he’d begun to notice an almost strange feeling that they were supposed to be friends, even before they were. In that short time, he’d grown to really like Mark, had begun to think of him like a real brother, not just someone who shared a Jewish frat, and he was pretty sure Mark felt the same way about him.

Okayokay, I'll better shut up now.

My God, this picspam went out of control again. I'm very sorry.

And very random, but Boombox Beatsteaks' new album is fantastic! Go and buy it, everyone!

Life is like a grapefruit. Well, it's sort of orangy-yellow and dimpled on the outside, wet and squidgy in the middle. It's got pips inside, too. Oh, and some people have a half a one for breakfast. Ford Prefect

I've found some awesome quotes of Billie Joe and Tré Cool from Green day and just have to share them:


Interviewer: (to Tré Cool and Billie Joe Armstrong) "What do you do on a regular basis when you're not touring?"
Tré: "I wake up, skate to the kitchen, grab myself a beer... Then I go for a bath in pink champagne. Sometimes we make sweet love. Sometimes it's in the bath..."

"I think I've always been bisexual. I mean, it's something that I've always been interested in. I think everybody kind of fantasizes about the same sex. I think people are born bisexual, and it's just that our parents and society kind of veer us off into this feeling of Oh, I can't. They say it's taboo. It's ingrained in our heads that it's bad, when it's not bad at all. It's a very beautiful thing" - Billie Joe Armstrong (vocalist/guitarist - Green Day)

"Tré reads the dirty ones. I've read a few. It's flattering and sort of weird at the same time. I don't really know what to think about young girls thinking about old men like that. But the ones I have read were very well-written and as long as kids these days are still being creative and writing, then I think it's cool." - Billie Joe Armstrong (vocalist/guitarist - Green Day) on Green Day slash fanfiction.
