Ben | 21 | Psych student | Mostly Harmless

I hit home runs without stepping up to the plate, and I bake delectable desserts with the intensity of my gaze. England’s top rugby teams scout me for my sense of smell and rugged handsomeness, David Tennant styles his hair to imitate mine, and Harry Potter is a loose biography of my life so far.

I have been in a morgue.

I am both an unstoppable force and an immovable object. Schrödinger’s Cat is actually dead, thanks to me.

I consume slightly more water per week than the average human.

I have traveled the world, supped with kings, pirated cargo ships, faxed documents, discovered elements, and dressed myself in the morning. I built Rome in a day. I was the last person to see the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the first to eat Wonder Bread.

Billy Collins - Litany

Just found out that he did a TEDTalk. I’m so excited to see it but it hasn’t been uploaded yet.

You guys, this is the greatest poem ever. I’m a little sad I didn’t think to upload it months ago. You should listen to it.
