and tonight, 

just like every night to come,

i promise to dream of you next to me.

"sweet dreams till sunbeams find you" . . .

have you ever found yourself at a very specific spot?

and this spot is so very wonderful that you take the time to think of every single event of the day that got you to that tiny little speck on the map?

and then you realize it wasn't just the day's events, but it was possibly every action in your life that led you to that EXACT setup?

to be at that precise location, at that very moment?

and for some unnamed reason, you are perfectly aware that you are exactly where you ought to be?

yeah, me too.

i guess this is called "fate".

i fell in love with him 

just as he kissed me 'goodbye'.

i've been dreaming about the 'magic of maybes' all day long.

pj harvey & thom yorke- 

this mess we're in

sometimes people don't want to hear the truth 

because they don't want their illusions destroyed.

life is much too important to be taken seriously.

meet lola (the miniature schnauzer/ my roommate) and lily (the cairns terrier).

i LOVE these furry little creatures . . . 
EXCEPT right now... (they are barking an awful lot).

 he who hesitates is a damn fool.

james vincent mcmorrow- 
breaking hearts

one time i met gary baseman.

this same "one time" he drew this for me.

i now believe mr. baseman to not only be an amazing artist,

but also a psychic-

how'd he know that i like to dive into oceans and squeeze fish?!

 

mom, if i want to have a baby without an extra chromosome, i needed to find a boyfriend, like, yesterday.

well, where have you been looking?

i haven't been looking; i've been so busy with getting my future set that i haven't given it any thought. i want to make sure that my life is on my path. it just hasn't been the right time to fall in love.

well, the "right time" may never happen . . . and then i'll never have grandbabies . . . so, how about you at least start opening yourself up to the idea?!

click me (because i'm not totally wise on "gif" yet).

"when we cannot find contentment in ourselves,

it is useless to seek it elsewhere."

• i'm borderline obsessed with "a take away show". 

• if you don't have ALL the time in the world, i suggest you ff to 2:40ish and sit on back.
