things my friends say:
you’re not mean at all; i need you in my life, especially now, where i tend to break down to just being nice to everyone and not looking after myself.
late night heart-to-hearts are the best.

i’m not sentimental—i’m as romantic as you are. the idea, you know, is that the sentimental person thinks things will last— the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won’t.

hokay—deep breaths—let’s talk about this blog of mine: such stuff as dreams are made on.
such stuff
this title has stayed strong and true since its inception on august 23rd 2008, however, it wasn’t until lately ((the last year or so—arguably one of my most trying and wonderfully imperfect years)) that this theme of such stuff became dire and...

things i collect: words that don’t exist in english
meraki [may-rah-kee], adj., greek doing something with soul, creativity, or love — when you put “something of yourself” into what you’re doing, whatever it may be.

sometimes i like to flummox k just for the hell of it. i was in that restless/reckless mood last night. and to top it off, i’ve been reading a lot lately ((YAY!!!))—i do this thing ((see below)), sprinkling allusions to literature in perfectly normal, colloquial conversations with engineers who never read fiction. ((k reads popular science and other such publications. he’s not...

lost in translation
portrait of restlessness: messy hotel room in tokyo, no pants, random audio book not worth a shit, solitude, alone.
the tricky thing about restlessness for me is that it can quickly turn into recklessness.
and the tricky thing about recklessness?
it makes you feel alive. it’s liberating and powerful and fulfilling. making mistakes and fucking shit up; diverging...

i am an absolute sucker for james bond.
((unsuspecting reverse lolita complex? idk))
i fancy daniel craig the most; he is my favorite. his 007 is so complex. he plays the tragic, reluctant hero so well. it makes me absurdly weak.
((but i have a soft spot in my heart for sean connery. isn’t he just so dapper? mmmhmmm.))
