 [tonight is one for reminiscing. hello, gossipgirl season two.]

 current obsession: i like.

xoxo

let's play a game..*

if i were in america tonight id have taylorswift's new album already, and not have to wait forever. id also be watching the gg episode where lil j comes back. and, if i stayed for another six days, i could celebrate my favourite not-really-a-holiday in a place where they appreciate the brilliance of it. #justsayin 

xoxo

i cant resist the day*

today, the rain was beautiful. i received magical emails. miss adachi inspired my heart. as she tends to do. i baked. (yes, it was from a 'just add oil/water/eggs' pack. but it was delicious. and it looked edible, which is an accomplishment for me. and candywandy was proud of me, so be nice) and researched more colleges id like to attend.

i wrote happiness. had philosphical discussions. and tb drove me home. we listened to an insane remix of signs. "aaaat your funeral i was sooo upsettt" i am falling inlove with post-bartbass'-death chuck. again. bc he's just so much hotter. oh, i watched the heartbreaking season three finale of greek. and leigh posted a spoiler about chuck.

happy first-day-of-college, jessicasmith*

truth is strategic insight*

"Star-threaded bedsheets, murmurs behind the windowpane, clock-shaped fears.

I was never mine.

Time forgets easily about us, you should know.

Forgets to wipe the dust off toys and portraits nobody loves anymore.

Time forgets to place mailboxes on graves too. How very forgetful of him.

Ink-dipping nibs, fingers, eyelashes; everything, so it might turn to words, soon.

They'll glide, swans on the stillness of a lake (a midnight-sky; a heart; a death).

You must come and help slow down the thunderstorm; paper burns and melts, and what will be of me? Oh, how I'd love you if you came."

-restlesshearts

"Cemeteries in Bohemia are like gardens. The graves are covered with grass and colourful flowers. Modest tombstones are lost in the greenery. When the sun goes down, the cemetery sparkles with tiny candles. It looks as though the dead are dancing at a children's ball. Yes, a children's ball, because the dead are as innocent as children. No matter how brutal life becomes, peace always reigns in the cemetery. Even in wartime, in Hitler's time, in Stalin's time, through all occupations.

When she felt low, she would get into the car, leave Prague for behind, and walk through one or another of the country cemeteries she loved so well. Against a backdrop of blue hills, they were as beautiful as a lullaby." -theunbearablelightnessofbeing

jessicasmith, youll be proud. -ive finally begun stalking collegeboard in an attempt to find the perfect college for me.

did you know thenakedandfamous are from nz? i didnt. i did know that 'young blood' is the song of summer, though. and ive got it on repeat, until summer comes. that, and new new by raiknight.

current blog obsessions: found. but, honestly. -they make me think of tb- (and thank you for blogging, theautumngivesleaves)

writing lovely letters. and romantic emails to my faraway friends. yummmmy veggies (thankyou daddy) and gossipgirl reruns have made my evening wonderful*

when i'm here with you..*

[photos taken in.. blouberg.]

it rained. i slept late. and im pretty sure the lady next to me in the train was on drugs.

i am loving this book, it's fascinating.-now i kinda wish i lived in '77. i've resumed many old habits today. and by old, i mean i stopped them for like a week. but it's felt like forever. hello again, cheesy-delicious two-minute noodles. and sugary-sweet jellytots. aaand many many postage stamps. yay yay mail day :) finally going to rashmi's this evening. life withour her is.. dangerous. i found a dress like the one serena wears on her first date with dan. i've been stalking miss adachi's amazing poetry. and listening to 'andrea and the falling stars'. track two is partly in french and perfect for dancing in the rain* i really miss alexander.

"and I don't think you're beautiful, i think you're beyond it"

come here, boi*

enchantedhappy xoxo

indigo stardust*

i'm not usually big into the whole flowers vibe. but these are pretty. and they remind me of the episode in gg season three when they have the big thanksgiving vibe. and the table is all pretty. all weekend i've had the song in my head. actually since i heard it on gg. and then i got the new paramore cd and it was there, yay!

"you are.. the only exception. and i'm on my way to believing"

it's in my head. and written on my arm. and in my notebook. and on twitter. everywhere! but it's so beautiful so it's okay*

the second picture is currently my desktop background. tiled ofcourse* i want the shoes. like now. please and thank you. my hair is uber dark. and shorter. but i like it. it makes me want to wear intense lipstick all the time. so i do. and i am loving the happy sunny weather. i am in the airconditioned office mostly, but i get to wear sunny happy dresses so it's still exciting! and im off tomorrow. what shall i be doing? sleeping, most likely. and lunch with matt at uct. if i wake up in time.

i have been writing looooong letters. i shall most likely post them this week. and eating jelly powder. blackcurrent :) okay, off

i finally got my turquoise tshirt dress back so im wearing it today. and today i really like teal. and indigo. and i am excited about victoria's tatoo! like a lot. anyway...

enchantedhappy xoxo

and they come just in time*

seriously. how insane is this dress?! yes, please! but i'm not liking those shoes. i have the powerpuff girls song stuck in my head. even though i've been listening to 'today is a fairytale' over and over. still haven't seen valentine's day gosh. i saw dear john, though. so beautiful. ah love*

this weekend, i watched most of season two again. wow. so great. also wierd to hear songs that i like now that are in the very first episodes haha. i really really like jenny humphrey's outfit here. like, can i please have it for my birthday. even the lipstick :) thank you.

this picture makes me think of sarahjane. and yay i got to see her lastnight. yay! and lyns, chaz ben and britt resolved the fake story drama haha *awkward*

and at ststephens we sang indescribable and i haven't heard it in forever so it was delightful.

Indescribable, uncontainable,

You placed the stars in the sky

and You know them by name

You are amazing God

Incomparable, unchangeable

You see the depths of my heart

and You love me the same

You are amazing God

i feel like writing a love letter. of the friendship variety. but i hath not the time to do so. *sigh*

oh well. instead, when i get home i will watch more 'private practise' yay* doctors and love. there are so many references to.. coitus (yes i learn words from 'big bang') haha it's quite extreme really. today im wearing a pretty high-waisted skirt. and my cool black belt. so i am happy.

oh and i just found out i wil be running the opsmile fundraiser with the UK all by myself. the entire project is mine. super exciting! i heart opsmile. and prety shoes. like the ones i walk past in woolworths everyday.

enchantedhappy xoxo

who u are is falling over me*

so today is the beginning of finals. not for me, but in general. lol. and my design exhibition is being marked today. which means im one step closer to being rid of it forever. yes, please! i'm so exhausted. but i must study. apparently it stormed hecticli lastnight. i didn't notice at all. wierd.

i'm really not in the mood to study. i just want to sleep and eat icecream. but reality must settle in at some point. lame. yes, i am in a strange mood. people are having interesting effects on me this afternoon*

anyway, have a magical week xoxo

i love this, wow twilight plus gg... two of my favourite things :)

after watching the final episode of season 2 (several times..) i couldn't get the "love, love, love.." song outv my head! ah the moment is so unbelievably wonderful and romantic! the most perfect ending..
