Who Is He To Hecuba?

Don't quote Shakespeare
If you don't know the meaning behind the words
If you are saying it to be impressive.
Don't talk like you know what it's like to be lost in his writing
To laugh at his jokes, that he wrote just for me - for my wit, for my eyes.
You think because everyone knows his name, that they - you - know him?
That it gives you the right to Google his quotes and copy-paste them to your screen?
You think because they made Romeo and Juliet into a modern romance
with guns and gangsters, you know who he is?
You don't know him. I don't either. I don't memorise his lines or sleep with his works under my pillow.
But he means something to me.
Don't belittle him by splashing his words around like cheap perfume.

You work and work

And try and try

And nothing is ever good enough.

And if nothing's ever good enough

Then why are we here?

And if nothing's ever good enough,

Then I'm not good enough, my dear.

And if we're always chasing stars

To place in other people's jars

In exchange for someone else's heart

Then we're better off alone, don't you think?

If you didn't recognise the background from this image, it's a still from one of the recent Tron: Legacy trailers.
Which I am pretty sure exactly none of you have seen.

She's hotter than Olivia Wilde because she has boobs and Spanish blood.
She was also Zatanna Zatara in Smallville.

Did you know that William Gibson coined the term Cyberspace in Neuromancer?
Of course you don't. I read the book and I didn't know it either.

Anyway. I always did want to be a writer.
I also wanted to be a marine biologist, diplomat, children's book illustrator, criminal psychologist and veterinarian, but hey. Not everyone can be Natalie Portman.

Why?

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

Ben: Hey, is B-O-R-D an acceptable word for Scrabble?
Me: No. Didn't you learn how to spell? It's B-O-R-E-D or B-O-A-R-D.
Ben: No, no. BORG. B-O-R-G. Resistance is futile.

Ben: I want a waterbed.
Me: Waterbeds are expensive.
Ben: What? No they're not. They're like plastic bags filled with water. And then you sleep on them.
Me:...why don't you Google what a waterbed is.
Ben: Can you get them in KL?
Me: I don't know.
Ben: Why don't you Google it?
Me: Why don't you, smartass.
Ben: Fine. I love you. Bye. I'm cooler than you are.
Me: I'm cooler than you!
Ben: In your dreams!
Me: I'm ten years cooler than you are!
Ben: Nine years!
Me: Ten!
Ben: Nine!
Me: No wonder you're failing maths.
