The Meaning of Friendship

Sat, 12 May 2012 12:53:52 +1000

To my mind, a friend is someone who is always there when they are needed.

A friend will always make an effort, even if they are angry at you, or upset.

A friend will tell you when you’re wrong, and stop you from doing things you will regret.

They will invite you to everything, even if they know you can’t or won’t come, and they will always make as much effort as they can to go to things that you invite them to, within reason.

A true friend will always forgive your mistakes, and remember the things that they have done to help you.

A real friend will never lie to you, never forget you, and always make some kind of an effort, no matter what they’re going through, or how much pain they are in themselves.

And a true friend will never, ever stab someone in the back, will never just use you to get what they need, and always treat you with at least some level of respect.

I know who my true friends are. Do you?

A little something for the holiday season. Can you name all of these famous blood suckers?

*Update - Nosferatu was a knockoff of the Dracula novel. Yes, it was the first vampire movie, but still a blatant rip-off of Bram Stoker. Google it. Thanks for all the love people! Can’t believe how many times its been reblogged.

X-Muppets by Rahzzah Murdock

Hey guys, remember this awesome design from a few months ago? It’s no available in SHIRT flavor… or at least, it *potentially* could be, if you do Rahzzah a solid and go vote for it over at welovefine. Just think, through your efforts, you could be wearing this excellent mashup all over your body, just all over it.

Periodic Table of Swearing

Due to overwhelming sodding demand, the Periodic Table of Swearing is now back in stock at moderntoss for £90. I’m relieved to see they included such classic elements as “Buggering Old Twat” and “Shitting a Fucking Breeze Block”.

I never wanted any of you to die for me

I never wanted any of you to die for me

A girl in my Physics class saw me reading Harry Potter. She, herself, had never read the books, but she has seen all of the movies. She asked me which character had the biggest impact on me, personally. I guess she was thinking I'd say Harry, Ron, or Hermione, but I told her it was Snape. She looked at me for a few seconds, and asked how I could ever like such an evil man. I put my book down, and I told her these words: Severus Snape is the bravest man I've ever known. All through his life, he dealt with trials and suffering that no one should endure. He was constantly terrorized at school by his peers, and eventually shunned, not only by his one real friend, but the love of his life. Yes, he went down the wrong path, but haven't we all? He risked his life to turn back to the side of good when he found out his master would murder the girl he loved since his days as a boy. He risked his life to save hers. After she died, he made it his mission to protect her only son, the only reminder he ever had of her. Until his dying day, he helped, guided, and protected that boy, so that his love wouldn't have died in vain. Severus Snape was constantly manipulated, not only by Voldemort, but also by Dumbledore, a wizard of far more popularity than Snape himself. He put himself in constant danger, playing double agent for Dumbledore, just so that he could protect one boy. He had to live his life full of regret for making one silly, teenage mistake. Yeah, at times he could be a real basterd, but isn't that just part of the human condition? Severus Snape died to protect the son of the only woman he ever loved. So please, before you judge a character solely based on a few scenes in a couple of movies, read the books first.

Before Snape died, he asked Harry to look at him. Even though Harry looked exactly like his father, he had his mother’s eyes. And that’s what Snape wanted, to see Lily, till his last breath. Love. ♥

leilockheart:

Simple as that. A person who takes pictures no matter what camera he/she is holding has something to tell and memories that will last. We take pictures not just because we want to, we take pictures because there is something in that subject that we will remember and that we are proud of. Pictures are voices of those who may not speak, eyes of those who cannot see and hands of those who cannot touch. They take us away and yet this I say that every photograph has a story worth telling.
