&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even better when you think about how Dan got a place for himself in NY to continue his career, Emma went to a school in USA, and Rupert bought an ice cream truck.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Follow your dreams Rupert&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn’t know this. So I looked it up and - HE ACTUALLY DID.&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/416991efb01974a6e7e2e6db7df8a40c/tumblr_inline_miknu0WUvg1qz4rgp.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘I keep my van well stocked. It’s got a proper machine that dispenses Mr Whippy ice cream and I buy my lollies wholesale – 50 for a tenner – so I never run short.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt; I’m not allowed to sell my merchandise. I’d need a licence for that. ‘I tend to avoid July and August, but the rest of the year I’ll drive around the local villages and if I see some kids looking like they’re in need of ice creams, I’ll pull over and dish them out for free. They’ll say, “Ain’t you Ron Weasley?” And I’ll say, “It’s strange, I get asked that a lot.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It makes it even better that he just GIVES the icecream away. [&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-2108756/Harry-Potter-selling-ice-creams-Rupert-Grint-fulfilling-childhood-ambition.html"&gt;Source&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Shut up, let me tell you, let me. Every time I look at your face, or even remember it, it wrecks me. And the way you are with me, and you’re just fun and you shit all over me and you make fun of me and you’re real. I don’t have enough time in any day, to think about you enough. I feel like I’m gonna live a thousand years cause that’s how long it’s gonna take me to have one thought about you, which is that I’m crazy about you. I don’t wanna be with anybody else. I don’t. I really don’t. I don’t think about women anymore. I think about you. I had a dream the other night that you and I were on a train. We were on this train and you were holding my hand. That’s the whole dream, you were holding my hand and I felt you holding my hand. I woke up and I couldn’t believe it wasn’t real. I’m sick in love with you. It’s like a condition, it’s like polio. I feel like I’m gonna die if i can’t be with you and I can’t be with you, so I’m gonna die and I don’t care cause I was brought into existence to know you, and that’s enough.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;They told me the big black Lab’s name was Reggie, as I looked at him lying in his pen. The shelter was clean, no-kill, and the people really friendly. I’d only been in the area for six months, but everywhere I went in the small college town, people were welcoming and open. Everyone waves when you pass them on the street.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;But something was still missing as I attempted to settle in to my new life h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="text_exposed_show"&gt;ere, and I thought a dog couldn’t hurt. Give me someone to talk to. And I had just seen Reggie’s advertisement on the local news. The shelter said they had received numerous calls right after, but they said the people who had come down to see him just didn’t look like “Lab people,” whatever that meant. They must’ve thought I did.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But at first, I thought the shelter had misjudged me in giving me Reggie and his things, which consisted of a dog pad, bag of toys almost all of which were brand new tennis balls, his dishes and a sealed letter from his previous owner.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;See, Reggie and I didn’t really hit it off when we got home. We struggled for two weeks (which is how long the shelter told me to give him to adjust to his new home). Maybe it was the fact that I was trying to adjust, too.&lt;br/&gt;Maybe we were too much alike.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I saw the sealed envelope. I had completely forgotten about that. “Okay, Reggie,” I said out loud, “let’s see if your previous owner has any advice.”&lt;br/&gt;____________ _________ _________ _________&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;To Whomever Gets My Dog:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Well, I can’t say that I’m happy you’re reading this, a letter I told the shelter could only be opened by Reggie’s new owner. I’m not even happy writing it. He knew something was different.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So let me tell you about my Lab in the hopes that it will help you bond with him and he with you.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;First, he loves tennis balls. The more the merrier. Sometimes I think he’s part squirrel, the way he hoards them. He usually always has two in his mouth, and he tries to get a third in there. Hasn’t done it yet. Doesn’t&lt;br/&gt;matter where you throw them, he’ll bound after them, so be careful. Don’t do it by any roads.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Next, commands. Reggie knows the obvious ones —-“sit,” “stay,” “come,” “heel.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He knows hand signals, too: He knows “ball” and “food” and “bone” and “treat” like nobody’s business.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Feeding schedule: twice a day, regular store-bought stuff; the shelter has the brand.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He’s up on his shots. Be forewarned: Reggie hates the vet. Good luck getting him in the car. I don’t know how he knows when it’s time to go to the vet, but he knows.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Finally, give him some time. It’s only been Reggie and me for his whole life. He’s gone everywhere with me, so please include him on your daily car rides if you can. He sits well in the backseat, and he doesn’t bark or complain. He just loves to be around people, and me most especially.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And that’s why I need to share one more bit of info with you…His name’s not Reggie. He’s a smart dog, he’ll get used to it and will respond to it, of that I have no doubt. But I just couldn’t bear to give them his real name. But if someone is reading this … well it means that his new owner should know his real name. His real name is “Tank.” Because, that is what I drive.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I told the shelter that they couldn’t make “Reggie” available for adoption until they received word from my company commander. You see, my parents are gone, I have no siblings, no one I could’ve left Tank with .. and it was my only real request of the Army upon my deployment to Iraq, that they make one phone call to the shelter … in the “event” … to tell them that Tank could be put up for adoption. Luckily, my CO is a dog-guy, too, and he knew where my platoon was headed. He said he’d do it personally. And if you’re reading this, then he made good on his word.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Tank has been my family for the last six years, almost as long as the Army has been my family. And now I hope and pray that you make him part of your family, too, and that he will adjust and come to love you the same way he&lt;br/&gt;loved me.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If I have to give up Tank to keep those terrible people from coming to the US I am glad to have done so. He is my example of service and of love. I hope I honored him by my service to my country and comrades.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;All right, that’s enough. I deploy this evening and have to drop this letter off at the shelter. Maybe I’ll peek in on him and see if he finally got that third tennis ball in his mouth.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Good luck with Tank. Give him a good home, and give him an extra kiss goodnight - every night - from me.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thank you,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Paul Mallory&lt;br/&gt;____________ _________ _________ _______&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I folded the letter and slipped it back in the envelope. Sure, I had heard of Paul Mallory, everyone in town knew him, even new people like me. Local kid, killed in Iraq a few months ago and posthumously earning the Silver&lt;br/&gt;Star when he gave his life to save three buddies. Flags had been at half-mast all summer.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I leaned forward in my chair and rested my elbows on my knees, staring at the dog.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“Hey, Tank,” I said quietly.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The dog’s head whipped up, his ears cocked and his eyes bright.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“C’mere boy.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He was instantly on his feet, his nails clicking on the hardwood floor. He sat in front of me, his head tilted, searching for the name he hadn’t heard in months. “Tank,” I whispered.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;His tail swished.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I kept whispering his name, over and over, and each time, his ears lowered, his eyes softened, and his posture relaxed as a wave of contentment just seemed to flood him. I stroked his ears, rubbed his shoulders, buried my&lt;br/&gt;face into his scruff and hugged him.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“It’s me now, Tank, just you and me. Your old pal gave you to me.” Tank reached up and licked my cheek.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“So whatdaya say we play some ball?” His ears perked again.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“Yeah? Ball? You like that? Ball?”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Tank tore from my hands and disappeared into the next room. And when he came back, he had three tennis balls in his mouth.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the best part about being the little spoon while cuddling is being able to rub your butt against the person’s junk&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best part about being the big spoon while cuddling is getting to rub your junk against the person’s butt&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best part about the big spoon as that it lets me get bigger portions of ice cream as I cry alone in my room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Three types of people&lt;/p&gt;
