"Of course, darling, to me you can ask anything!" the affection is evident amidst the stifling, head-through-ground miser qualities about the guy and, you do feel sorry for him. Mostly Anja. I should've brought the book back with me to reread.

Aim to be interesting and exciting and engaging without the insulating layer of pretention. Follow that instant liking and approval that isn't dictated by so-called critical opinion, which I wish was not so universally applicable sometimes but then I think I'm starting to use words, for the sake of wording uses.

It's not so much being cryptic as it is being unsure of your own direction. Only furthers your desire that your bullshit should convince anyone else. Writing in the second person only attempts to disassociate my own fears. I care too much and I care too little. One day I'll reach beautiful without the showy.

Once upon a time I had tides to control
I had moons to spin, and stars to ignite.

Death Cab on Wednesday was probably my favourite part of o-week... and it wasn't even part of o-week. Really must google the supporting act at the beginning because they weren't bad, weren't bad at all. I knew Tiff was itching for the real thing to come out.. and now I can't get Lack of Color out of my head.

And when I see you,
I really see you upside down.

....

This is fact not fiction,
For the first time in years.
All the girls in every girly magazine
Can't make me feel
Any less alone
I'm reaching for the phone
To call at 7:03
And on your machine I slur a plea for you to come home
But I know it's too late
I should've given you a reason to stay.

His voice has this poignantly American quality about it. Coming from me that'd usually have pretty negative connotations too, yet it's a selling point for Ben. The side-to-side shuffle dancing was so endearing it's no wonder some chick threw her bra up to him in the very first song... with everyone near the stage admiring her excellent aim.

I am so happy for Joey and the next four years of her life starting from August/September. It's inspired me to really explore my exchange options and if all goes according to plan,

New York City - centre of the universe.
