it's been raining for awhile now . . .

2 classes down

3 to go.

this is exactly how i feel standing at the precipice of this week:

i didn't quite realize it when i woke up at 7:52 for my 8 o'clock final

but i did realize it halfway through my 2 hour french exam.

j'aime que je sois une nerd.

Hopefully, just this once, Gandalf is wrong.

"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

this is going to be me until 5 pm on Thursday -

You Guys:

Since finals is a great time for epiphanies having nothing to do with academics -

next year for halloween i'm going to be Kate Pierson in the "Shiny Happy People" video. It'd be ironic.

i already dance exactly like her.

in which i am even more jealous of kimya dawson than usual

i want this.

"there are plus and minuses to sinusitis

like sometimes you get to go home"

kimya lied.

"loOove mHmm

"i brought you flours"

"Try not to be scared all the time, because there's no such thing as a mistake. You get nervous but . . . you sing anyway.

one of my very favorite parts of the city . . .

LA BOULANGE

MACAROONS

TRES, TRES BON CHAI TEA LATTE

Sweetie, Darlings!

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS . . .

PATSY: One snap of my fingers and I can raise hemlines so high the world is your gynecologist.

SAFFY: I'm not gay. I'm sorry.

Eddie: Well break it to me like that why don't you. I guess it's not your fault really is it? Just your mother grasping at straws trying to find one exotic feature about you.

Spotlight on . . .

LADIES: this is 99% fat-free, non dairy chocolate sorbet. And it is amazing. It is very unfortunate that it's a San Francisco brand because it is saving my from death by Haagen Dazs.

And this is a lovely, lovely man. Whom I love.

"I wasn't born a fool. It took work to get this way."

Guys:

i really miss SKINS

wow.

damnit, i'm already so behind . . .

every time i hear "judy is a punk" i think of this scene.

Happy Birthday Hans Christian Andersen!

This is the "Little Mermaid" statue in Copenhagen. I was there when I was ten. It was lovely.

"You need kissing, badly. That's what's wrong with you. You should be kissed. And often. And by someone who knows how."

"I never travel without my diary. One must always have something sensational to read on the train."

"I don't care just where you go As long, as long as it's with me I don't mind just what you do As long, as long as it's with me, too"

i want to dye my hair (suicide blonde)

"I apply my personality in a paste."

i watched this last night . . .

but i fell asleep before this part.

and this is the best part.

"I've been out walking

I don't do too much talking

These days, these days.

These days I seem to think a lot

About the things that I forgot to do

And all the times I had the chance to."

.

even better on vinyl

Jimmy: I was just passing the hotel, going no where, killing time, when I heard your snappy music.

Millie: You mean you don't know anyone here?

Jimmy: Sure, you.

On Repeat -

Down in Albion
They're black and blue
But we don't talk about that
Are you from 'round here?
How do you do?
I'd like to talk about that
Talk over
Gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence at bus stops
And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn

I want to be down in Albion with gin in teacups and leaves on the lawn.

"i need a new crowd"

Penny: Call me if you need a rescue. We live in the same city.
William: I think I live in a different world
Penny: Speaking of the world, I've made a decision. I'm gonna live in Morocco for one year. I need a new crowd. Do you wanna come?
William: Yes. Yeah, yeah.
Penny: You sure?
William: Ask me again.
Penny: Do you wanna come?
William: Yes! Yes.
Penny: You gotta call me.

dreamy cure for a dreary day

"delight in disorder"

I was sitting in class today and I glanced down at my purse and thought, "wow, you are really ugly." I have had this purse for four years. Perhaps it is time to get a new one. There's an oatmeal stain inside that I have to try really hard to ignore.



But it has a secret compartment and I bought it because it reminds me of the little girl who goes into town to run errands with her mother and fills her pocketbook with the day's treasures. So I think I will use it until it is too ratty and tatty to hold anything.

Sometimes I think I find too much delight in disorder.

watching my british sitcoms alone is not so much fun.

MOSS: This, Jen, is The Internet.

"all i want in life is a dance partner"

and enough time to watch "Grey Gardens" over and over again.

"i never had a minute's fun, not a minute!"
