The Small Town Hipster Kids Are Too Cool Too Laugh At Jokes
"What are Antijokes? Anti Jokes (or Anti Humor) is a type of comedy in which the uses is set up to expect a typical joke setup however the joke ends with such anticlimax that it becomes funny in its own right. The lack of punchline is the punchline." -Anti-Joke.com (Thank You Michael Populus)
- Why did the boy drop his ice cream? Because he was hit by a bus.
- A man walks into a bar. He's an alcoholic, and it's destroying he's family
- Why couldn't the Mexican get a proper job? Because of his low socio-economic background and lack of education.
- Why did the catholic priest get sent to jail? Tax evasion.
When This Small Town Hipster Girl Writes A Poem :)
My Achilles Tendon
My Achilles tendon is my heart
Resting bare and vulnerable on my shoulders
I carry its weight through every trial
The devil set it strategically against my reason
It bleeds at a soft rain
A clouds cry mimics tears, striking its tender skin
In the image of a child, naive and absorbent
Taking on even the softest burden whispered
Baby butterfly kisses on my conscience
I see the light in everything
And it blinds me to the darkness at my throat
But when the flame flickers out…
I’ll be left hanging to the world by a rope
Tell me you love me, and I’ll run with that promise to the edge of the world
When I reach this plummet there will be nothing left to do but jump
I only hope my faith bursts into soft wings
And carries me away to a place where there is no false hope
This is my nirvana
A place where love is not soft-spoken
And I can learn to trust my heart again.

This Small Town Hipsters Literary Crush :)
John Green
"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself." — John Green
"When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail." — John Green (Looking for Alaska)
"The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive." — John Green (Looking for Alaska)
"The town was paper, but the memories were not." — John Green (Paper Towns)
"…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’." — John Green
"I didn’t need you, you idiot. I picked you. And then you picked me back." — John Green (Paper Towns)
"When did we see each other face-to-face? Not until you saw into my cracks and I saw into yours. Before that, we were just looking at ideas of each other, like looking at your window shade but never seeing inside. But once the vessel cracks, the light can get in. The light can get out." — John Green (Paper Towns)
"Here's to all the places we went. And all the places we'll go. And here's to me, whispering again and again and again and again: iloveyou" — John Green (An Abundance of Katherines)
"Because you're only thinking they-might-not-like-me-they-might-not-like-me, and guess what? When you act like that, no one likes you." — John Green (An Abundance of Katherines)
"The thing about chameleoning your way through life is that it gets to where nothing is real." — John Green (An Abundance of Katherines)
"If people could see me the way I see myself - if they could live in my memories - would anyone love me?" — John Green (An Abundance of Katherines)
"The rules of capitalization are so unfair to words in the middle of a sentence." — John Green (Paper Towns)

My Small Town Hipster Valentines Day (Yes we believe in fairy tales too)
Valentines Day Update: We had a Fantastic Date Night Friday, We ate at a little itailian restraunt (Little Italy in Hammond La to be exact) and we saw The Roomate (Which was surprisingly good) My Plans went like this #1) When he picked me up (My valentines present a New John Green book: Paper Towns and a sweet card sitting in the pasenger seat) I told him I needed to stop at the store, I gave him his card to read while I ran in and got him a Glass Chess Set, Which he has been dying for! #2) Slipped in the mixed CD I made for him, Which was the perfect cliche cheese ball mix of "Our" Songs and all his guilty pleasures #3) At the restraunt I gave him a new book and a sketch I had drawn of us! He was estatic and loved everything :) After the movie we shared frozen yogurt with gummy worms (One Cup 2 Spoons) and went to the book store.I thought my valentines adventure was over and allthough I was disapointed I wouldnt be seeing him on the 14th due to his college classes, I was happy. Imagine my surprise when I came home to find a boquet of roses and a stuffed tiger (Who I named Quientin) On my front porch, As I walked into my front door he came around the corner with a guitar and launched into "Hello Beautiful" After a kiss , I Love You, and Happy Valentines Day he serenaded me with my favorite song :Yellow-ColdPlay: BEST VALENTINES DAY EVER!

When this small town hipster girl writes a monolouge...
SMALL TOWN LOVE
I remember the first time I saw him… Eyes like most polluted ocean… Dark, Deep, A murky shadow over secrets not meant to be told… But no matter how many skeletons were in that water…You knew it had once been a thing of great beauty… He had a silver tongue and every true play boys wit …His words twisted around your conscience and melted your heart, Dropping the world out from underneath you and plunging you among the stars…Our love was sweet, simple… a mirage of barefoot runs at midnight and kisses stolen on thee tail gate of a rusty truck…he stole my heart and in the end I had to fight to get it back… and we were just another small town teenage love story
What the small town hipster kids do on valentines day...
Its no secret Im madly in love, So I'm quite a sap for valentines day... And Tomorrow Night I shall commence to celebrating it ( My darling will be away at college on the 14th so we're celebrating early) The small town southern hipster kids keep it old fashion, sweet, and simple. His gifts from me include a sketch of us together (done by a friend) , a mix CD, a hand written letter, and a new book. We'll do things small town simple with dinner and a movie then grab a frozen yogurt or some coffee and hit up the book store to feed that hipster flare :)

Books For The Small Town Hipster Kids
1) Looking For Alaska - John Green
Miles, tired of his friendless, dull life in Florida, convinces his parents to send him away to boarding school in Alabama so that he can seek "the Great Perhaps." There he meets his roommate and soon-to-be best friend, Chip, called the Colonel, and Alaska Young, the moody, gorgeous, wild girl who instantly becomes the object of his lust. Miles is quickly enlisted in their war against the Weekday Warriors, the rich kids who go home every weekend, and they bond over elaborate pranks, studying, and assorted rule-breaking. About halfway through the book a tragedy occurs, and those left spend the rest of the book trying to make sense of it, to solve the mystery it leaves behind, and to pull off one last, greatest-ever prank.
2) An Abundance of Katherines - John Green
Colin is a former child prodigy who has just graduated from high school as valedictorian -- and just been dumped by the 19th girl he has dated named Katherine (well, eighteenth really, one of them dumped him twice). He is in a deep funk, worried that all of his early promise will add up to nothing, and that his talents, for absorbing knowledge, working hard, languages, trivia, and anagrams, aren't really of any use in the real world. When his best friend, Hassan, a genial if lazy lout, decides Colin needs a road trip, they soon wash up in Gutshot, Tennessee where they get a job recording oral histories from the town's residents. While there Colin works on what he sees as his last shot at mattering: a mathematical formula to predict the course of romantic relationships, The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability.
3) I am the Messenger - Markuz Zusak
Ed is a loser. His friends are losers. He drives a cab, lives in a shack, hangs out, plays cards, gets drunk. His dog smells. His mother despises him. The girl he loves doesn't love him back. That's his life, until the day he accidentally captures a bank robber who's an even bigger loser. He has his five minutes of local fame, and is happy to go back to his slacker life. But a few days later the Ace of Diamonds arrives in his mailbox, with three addresses and times written on it. At each address and time Ed finds someone in need of help, some fun (an old lady who needs some company), some harder (a brutal man who abuses his wife). As he continues to receive clues about other people, he finds that his view of himself, and his relationships with his friends and relatives, are changing, but a mystery remains: Who is sending him these clues, and why? And how does this mystery person know so much?
4) The Perks Of Being A Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
The Perks of Being a Wallflower takes place in an unknown setting and in the second person point-of-view. The main character, a teenage boy named Charlie, addresses letters to an anonymous friend. Charlie is a sincere and sensitive character, who suffers from episodes of depression sparked by sexual abuse as a young child. His best friend commits suicide before he starts high school, and while starting over he is drawn to a crowd of friends who support his individuality and love for writing, music, and poetry. His story contains bits and pieces of any reader's story. The novel's style may touch on various teenage topics like experimentation with drugs and alcohol, sexuality, making friends, family relationships, and loss, but it does not dwell on any of these topics. This lack of focus is what makes the story seem so realistic and true to so many Teens who read it.
5) Its kind of A Funny Story - Ned Vizzini
Like many ambitious New York City teenagers, Craig Gilner sees entry into Manhattan’s Executive Pre-Professional High School as the ticket to his future. Determined to succeed at life—which means getting into the right high school to get into the right college to get the right job—Craig studies night and day to ace the entrance exam, and does. That’s when things start to get crazy.
At his new school, Craig realizes that he isn't brilliant compared to the other kids; he’s just average, and maybe not even that. He soon sees his once-perfect future crumbling away. The stress becomes unbearable and Craig stops eating and sleeping—until, one night, he nearly kills himself.
Craig’s suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital, where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected President Armelio. There, isolated from the crushing pressures of school and friends, Craig is finally able to confront the sources of his anxiety
6) The Fountain Head - Ayn Rand
When it was first published in 1943, The Fountainhead--containing Ayn Rand’s daringly original literary vision with the seeds of her groundbreaking philosophy, Objectivism—won immediate worldwide acclaim. This instant classic is the story of an intransigent young architect, his violent battle against conventional standards, and his explosive love affair with a beautiful woman who struggles to defeat him. This centennial edition of The Fountainhead, celebrating the controversial and eduring legacy of its author, features an afterword by Rand’s literary executor, Leonard Peikoff, offering some of Ayn Rand’s personal notes on the development of her masterwork. “A writer of great power. She has a subtle and ingenious mind and the capacity of writing brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly.”--The New York Times
