downpour.

i just got stuck in the most perfect rain storm.

i am absolutely drenched, and for inexplicable reasons i feel so complete.

walking back from my car tonight, i just felt alive. i lifted my head up and twirled around, not the slightest bit embarrassed to be seen.

it felt good. really really good.

never once in london, did i leave my flat without an umbrella. so typical i would forget one now.

but, it's okay. i just let the rain fall down.

agedtoperfection

also, if he could age like this, i don't think i would be complaining.

potential

i think that man might be one of the most attractive i've ever seen photographed.

i have funny requirements for attractiveness. requirements for my future husband.

the ability to grow a full beard is clutch. i don't even really find beards all that sexy, but i am all about the necessary five o'clock shadow. scruffy kisses are a life requirement.

and although this dream boat is clean shaven, i think he has a nice scruff potential.

another requirement? glasses. ever since jude law rocked them in the holiday, the need for a thick rim is critical. four eyes are just sexier than two.

god, this guy is such a dream boat.

carboardddd

i am obsessed with this. a man writes cardboard love notes to his girlfriend every day and posts them on his site. some days he talks about the weather and other days he talks about her kisses, and some days, he just wants to breathe her in. jealous.

i'mworthit.

"go after her. fuck, don't sit there and wait for her to call, go after her, because that is what you should do when you love someone, don't wait for them to give you a sign cause it might never come, don't let people happen to you, don't let me happen to you, or her, she's not a fucking television show or a tornado. there are people i might have loved had they gotten on an airplane or run down the street after me or called me up drunk at four in the morning because they need to tell me right now and because they cannot regret this and i always thought i i'd be the only one doing crazy things for people who would never give enough of a fuck to do it back or to act like idiots or be entirely vulnerable and honest and making someone fall in love with you is easy and flying 3000 miles on four days notice because they can't just sit there and do nothing and breathing into telephones is not everyone's idea of love but it is the way i can recognize it because that is what i do. go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways because that is beautiful and that is generous and that is what loving someone is, that is raw and that is unguarded, and that is all that is worth anything, really."

resolutions galore

happy 2010 to you all.

i've decided one of my (many) new years resolutions will be to make this blog a reality.

i have also made promises to start doing yoga, cut back on my diet coke addiction, read for pleasure everyday, and to be good to myself first always.

i've got a good feeling about this decade. don't you? xoxo
