  4. When I think of references I think of nothing. Reference is a crappy word to give me. I wish you had given me something else to write about. Like, last time you gave me the word, “dirt.” And I wrote two paragraphs on the word dirt, but reference is just crap. I’m sorry. The end…yeah.

  33. I was tidying up the papers on his desk when I chanced upon the reference. He’d said he’d included all the paperwork when he submitted his CV, but seemed to have missed this particular one. Reading it, I could understand why – it wasn’t glowing, in fact it was the opposite.

  37. Everything that happens to you can be archived.
    Your mind is an automatic library,

    But your memories will always be there for you.
    Right?

  39. to make reference to something- in passing, or for a definite purpose. An absolute reference, so much more potent then a breezy mention. A proper reference is something i will never understand- hence my being a soon-to-be college drop out.
