“There are many lessons in life that only time can teach you, like how much you love someone. It’s nearly impossible to know that, until you spend your days without them. And then there are those lessons that you can learn only through the beating of your heart, and through feeling such strong emotions that you can barely breathe. Then finally, the essence of time and the power of your heart crossing paths, and the only knowledge you’re left with is the realization that time is the one thing that keeps you from letting go. No, it’s never the embracing, or the kisses. Not the laughter or the tears, only time.”

Newest TV Crush - Chuck Bartowski from the show Chuck. (Played by Zachary Levi)

He often reminds me of Jim from The Office, in the very best way.

Lev just downloaded Twilight onto her new kindle. Apparently it’s a romance novel for teens about a vegetarian vampire. Kids these days.

So since it’s Christmas, I’m going to say this Twilight ignorance was sarcasm. I feel like it’s enough of a phenomena, right?

Sometimes I look at ugly couples and wonder to myself, if they can find someone why can't I?

Because in my dreams I see you again.”

- Bloc Party, Signs

God, last night I had the most amazing dream perfect dream about my ex in which things were really good between us. There are two things that suck about this.

1) Waking up this morning to find it had all been a dream.

2) Wanting to go back to that dream when I fall asleep tonight and knowing I can’t.

“You can reach me by sailboat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down slow, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don’t care how you get here, just- get here if you can.”

[via PostSecret - a while ago]

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.”

““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. “”

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 - 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.
