(Posting mainly at bunkercomplex.wordpress.com) My name is Andrea, and I'm a 24-year-old Southern California girl. I distract myself from the pain that is grad school with Peter Gabriel, Phil Hendrie, peanut butter and apricot jam sandwiches, bicycles, Korean stationery, movie marathon nights, and baking. I use tumblr to post whatever gets my jollies. You can email me at bunkercomplex@gmail.com.

"We are accustomed to repeating the cliche, and to believing, that ‘our most precious resource is our children.’ But we have plenty of children to go around, God knows, and as with Doritos, we can always make more. The true scarcity we face is of practicing adults, of people who know how marginal, how fragile, how finite their lives and their stories and their ambitions really are but who find value in this knowledge, even a sense of strange comfort, because they know their condition is universal, is shared."

Jason Segel played a song at the The Swell Season concert last night. Oof, such a good event.

The Swell Season’s new music video for “Low Rising”, directed by Sam Beam of Iron and Wine.

Love his expressive low-hanging eyebrows. The Irish, man. Get me every time.

"Communism works only in heaven where they don’t need it, and in hell, where they’ve already got it."

President Ronald Reagan (via ajamison)

"I live alone and I am almost never lonely. I am also rarely bored. Then I realized something that seemed startling at first: During those atypical times when I am bored, I am almost always with other people. I’m never bored when I’m alone. I don’t consider myself an introvert. I love to socialize (with people who do not bore me), I love the visits (time-limited) from friends and family who come to catch up with me and soak up the sun from my deck, and I love to entertain. But I also cherish my solitude."

"If only there were a game whose winning required a gift for the identification of missed opportunities and of things lost and irrecoverable, a knack for the belated recognition of truths, for the exploitation of chances in imagination after it’s too late!"
