Eloquency

Once upon a time, even before I had fallen in love twice, I overheard a conversation between two very dear girls. One lamented the loss of a no longer specifiable Hindu god locker/charm, before the other could offer comfort, she sighed 'but it's ok because now I have this!' proffering a flacon of soap bubble water in the form of a yellow ducky. I knew there and then I had found my people. Now both the ladies are young independent women, close friends, utterly loveable and though a little too normal still so very much en vibe with me that that both are able not merely to accept eloquence as a solid argument but even offer it. I really could not love them more.

Don't stay on the beach/ under palm trees/ in the arms of well-tanned men too long darlings, I'll miss you both too much.

Rationalisation

I wonder how none of my friends ever stumbled upon this before. It very much reads like the sort of thing they like to shove under my nose.

Some advice

Only sometimes...?

Nonsense

The trigger bit of text in this post should actually be published under the title of quote #18, were it not that I so fervently disagree as I do now. Wise noses may point out that it is men that are spoken of not women but nonetheless the central idea is idiotic and contrary to my experience.

I am in love - and, my God, it is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I tell you, find a woman you can fall in love with. Do it. Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life.

D.H. Lawrence [ 1885-1930 ]

quote #17

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Mark Twain

???

You do not want to hear that I fare ill, so why should I bother telling you?!

25

There will be a party sometime in the future. The only reason I will have is the number in the title, but you may guess for yourselves what the number indicates.

Could it be???

I daren't dream it might be true. But while I'm awake I hope.

Sometimes you think you've seen all you ever want to see on youtube, and always always you are proven wrong. For those interested: iSketch

Quote #16

I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.

J. D. Salinger

Staircase

Think of love, any kind of love as of stairs. And think of yourself (and I hope that you know from the description who you are) as the railing. I don't need you, but it makes it so much easier to believe I'll survive the climb when you're there.


writer's note: as this is written to one only one person in particular, please do not lightly asume that I mean you because you read my blog everyday, and before you take offance imagine that you may well be a step.

It IS always on my mind.

You may have noticed the lack of updates this week past. You may have assumed that I had finally learned to shut the f*** up, that I had little to say and nothing of value with which I need bother you, that I had died or worst of all that I had failed to connect to the internet. Nothing of this all; I was merely looking for the right words and since I did not find them gere's the next best thing; a song.

Maybe I didnt treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didnt love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasnt died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe I didnt hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
Im so happy that youre mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, Im sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasnt died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind

Quote #15

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.

You Had a Bad Year

Your year was horrible. There's no other way to say it. A lot went wrong for you, and you're still recovering from it. The good news is that things probably won't get worse for you. So look forward to the new year, where things will hopeful be much better!

How Did Your Year Rate?

As if I needed telling.

New Year's Resolutions

I wished only one thing for myself this year: wake up just before noon next to a nearly irresistibly handsome guy (not necessarily just having enjoyed two hours of steaming hot sex together, though of course I wouldn't have objected let alone minded) Instead I woke up with the urge to do a hundred sit-ups (I managed about fifteen in case you wonder).

Yesterday I was resolved on one thing: not to make a list of resolutions, because I never fulfil them anyway. Five minutes past midnight I had this (see below) list of two.

1. Wake up at least once next to a nearly irresistibly handsome guy, having just enjoyed two hours of steaming hot sex.
2. Adopt a cat.
