J. D. Salinger

Probably the greatest writer in American history. 89 year old Salinger had many stories published in The New Yorker but has had only four books published; The Catcher in the Rye, Nine Stories, Franny and Zooey, and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction. His last work published was Hapworth 16, 1924 in The New Yorker in 1965. His last interview was in 1980 and since then he has become sort of a recluse and lives a quite life in New Hampshire. Salinger almost always writes about young, very intelligent and cynical people and his work appeals greatly to a younger audience because of his theme of loss of innocence and adolescent alienation.

I think for the past 40 years J. D. Salinger has been working on a huge masterpiece that will be published when he dies and blow us all away.

Sailing on the Pumpkin Tide

Refers to becoming drunk while alone in order to enhance one's creative process. Probably originated in the webcomic Problem Slueth.

Person 1: Can you come over tonight?
Person 2: No, I've had some ideas rolling around so tonight is going to be for sailing on the pumpkin tide.

Salimah

Realistic meaning: Salimah means "safe" in Arabic . This is a baby girl name , most people named Salimah are Muslim or their parents at least ,but this name is also a beautiful name for everyone (mostly female babies).

Urban D. style : A Salimah is a kind person , mostly alone because not everyone get them and they are very secretive and questionable from a distance . you should take your time getting to know them . She is very Beautiful and kind to others and loves her family more than her own self , same with friends and company .

Alexa : Who's that girl over there , she's really beautiful

Cameron; That's just Salimah , you should go talk to her
