I spent a good portion of today in used book stores, looking for flight reading and Christmas gifts. And realizing that I should have just read the Dumas book when you gave it to me instead of never reading it because I didn’t want to. It’s just one thing on a list of things I would do differently, and if you could love me again I would be ready for it this time.

It’s not his longing that hurts. It’s my own. It’s knowing I’ll never have what she has - a beauty so powerful it brings things to you. I fear I will always have to chase things I want. I’ll always have to wonder whether I’m truly wanted or whether I’ve just been settled for.

No, I’d give it all for you
I’d give it all for you by my side once more.
Oh, I’d give it all for you,
I’d give it all to hold you again,
To feel I’m completed,
To know there and then
That all that I needed
Was you to fight the fear.

It seems no matter how I try I become more difficult to hold
I am not an easy woman to want

Nikki Giovanni, Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day

From one of my favorite poems.

I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.

Oh my god, this is like the most romantic song ever. (well maybe not, but in the mood of the moment it is…)

I think my favorite version of this song is by Chantal Kreviazuk from the Armageddon soundtrack. That’s right.

it's a brand new day.

so this is awkward. basically i made the mistake of allowing my mother access to my tumblr. on one hand she’s my most avid reader, but my mother and i do not have the kind of relationship where i can write freely about my life knowing she will read about it. it also keeps me from participating in tumblr fray more freely.

i’m not sure how the rest of you do it. but this is my answer - i will be starting a secret not linked to on my other web sites tumblr.

i’ll still be posting at gimmick, but that will be more interesting links / non-life stuff, & this will be more real life related. to make things easier for me, i’m going to follow most of the people i follow on the other account.

Anglophilia: an Anglophile is a person who is fond of English culture and England in general

Anglophilia - Wikipedia

Aka, me. I’m frantically doing research for my pop culture paper on Life on Mars, and the other night I decided watching episodes of the original British version would be a good idea. And I can barely focus on the plot because I’m obsessed with the way they talk. It’s not just the accent, it’s the whole vocabulary and way of phrasing things.

Luckily there is apparently a name for my condition.
