  1. This exchange always stuck with me! It's like a little glimpse into the hardcore Eve that *will not* become jaded.

  3. – I love you, Ronald.
    – I love you, Evey-Ningy.
    – EVERYBODY BE COOL, THIS IS A SUMMER READ. ANY OF YOU FUCKING HIPSTERS MOVE, AND I'LL INSPIRE EVERY MOTHERFUCKING LAST ONE OF YA.

  4. I remember once reading a 4chan thread where somebody said something like "those [people who browse 4chan's literature board] are crazy, they'll tell you to read James Joyce!"
