What are your imperfections?

girl interrupted

"Was I ever crazy? Maybe. Or maybe life is…Crazy isn’t being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It’s you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever..."

put a little love here in my void.

he said "it's all in your head," and i said, "so's everything" but he didn't get it.

are you happy?


if you are, it is true? do you bring happiness to others? is it substainable?
if you aren't, change something.

DREAMS

1. You Forget 90% of Your Dreams
Within 5 minutes of waking, half of your dream is forgotten. Within 10, 90% is gone

2. In Our Dreams We Only See Faces, That We already Know
Our mind is not inventing faces – in our dreams we see real faces of real people that we have seen during our life but may not know or remember. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces throughout our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams.

3. Not Everybody Dreams in Color
A full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and white. The remaining number dream in full color. Studies from 1915 through to the 1950s maintained that the majority of dreams were in black and white, but these results began to change in the 1960s. Today, only 4.4% of the dreams of under-25 year-olds are in black and white. Recent research has suggested that those changing results may be linked to the switch from black-and-white film and TV to color media.

4. Emotions
The most common emotion experienced in dreams is anxiety. Negative emotions are more common than positive ones

5. You can have four to seven dreams in one night.
On average, you can dream anywhere from one or two hours every night.

6. Animals Dream Too
Studies have been done on many different animals, and they all show the same brain waves during dreaming sleep as humans. Watch a dog sleeping sometime. The paws move like they are running and they make yipping sounds as if they are chasing something in a dream.

7. Body Paralysis
During REM sleep the body is paralyzed by a mechanism in the brain in order to prevent the movements which occur in the dream from causing the physical body to move. However, it is possible for this mechanism to be triggered before, during, or after normal sleep while the brain awakens.

8. Men and Women Dream Differently
Men tend to dream more about other men. Around 70% of the characters in a man’s dream are other men. On the other hand, a woman’s dream contains almost an equal number of men and women. Aside from that, men generally have more aggressive emotions in their dreams than the female lot.

9. Precognitive Dreams
Results of several surveys across large population sets indicate that between 18% and 38% of people have experienced at least one precognitive dream and 70% have experienced déjà vu. The percentage of persons that believe precognitive dreaming is possible is even higher, ranging from 63% to 98%.

alice

I really wanted to read The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass during reading week. Of course I had all these miraculous plans to do some leisure reading and get all sorts of school work done and none of it got accomplished. I still want to get the stories read before I go to see Tim Burton's rendition of it in March but I am not too hopeful, I am terrible at focusing my attention on reading when all I do is read for school. LAME.

expactations vs. reality

all that i'm after is a life full of laughter
as long as i'm laughing with you.

dark night poem

to see who cares

"No matter how close two people are an infinite of space seperates them."

go canada.

Alexandre Bilodeau earned Canada it's first goal medal in the 2010 Vancouver Olymics, in Apline skiing. Gotta be proud for our country!

isn't she breath taking?

nothing is worth more than this day.

NOTHING IS WORTH MORE THAN THIS DAY.

love actually.

The thing about romance is people only get together right at the very end.

the time traveler's wife

"Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life."

"I love you, always. Time is nothing."

"There is only one page left to write on. I will fill it with words of only one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love."

"I wanted someone to love who would stay: stay and be there, always."

"Tonight I feel my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you."

"Sometimes I am happy when he is gone, but I am always happy when he returns."

everything's so fragile

"You ruined it. You don't want anyone to care. I could be dead in a second, everything's so fragile, and you realize that. We were special."

the look-at-me routine

You know it. Letting your exs know that you're out there, that other people find you attractive, that everything you thought you had together they can do without it, that they don't need you."

how easy it is for me to love somone...

"I wanted to move my hand, I wanted to move it so much, and then she moved hers."

"I wish I told Naomi how easy it is for me to love someone, we're all lonely and all we want is for someone to pay attention, and tell us we are beautiful, and cute, and tell us they want too."

doppelgänger

In spirit of doppelganger i spent some time looking up natalie portman images (who i love, as well) but the quick google search turned into an 1 1/2 hour blog... ah ha. Here are some beautiful pictures of her. If I do actually look like her I would consider myself very lucky.

(I think I see it most in the face here, hard to tell from the hair...)

Most images from here.

for patrick

...where the thristles grow wild

one heart out of two,
one life, me and you,
last mile in the pale light,
take me home with you tonight,
we'll touch til it feels right,
you won't say "love" but i might,
one heart out of two,
one life, me and you,
made love and you muttered "we're through",
one heart, but mind was in two

one heart half filled with the dreams of a saint,
the other filled with nothing but hate

tie up.

fire

i touch the pace where i'd fine your face,
my finger in creases of distant dark places



after i have travelled so far,
we'd set the fire to the third bar,
we'd share each other like an island,
until exhausted, close our eyelids,
and dreaming,
pick up from the last place we left off,
your soft skin is weeping,
a joy you can't keep in.

"Much unhappiness has come into the world because of bewilderment and things left unsaid."

housing.

Moving out is finally official and I am extremely excited. The house/apartment hunting has begun! Here are some home-loves...

I love enclosed spaces, this nook looks like the most amazing hide away.

Everything about this picture makes my heart smile, so peaceful.
I want to be this in the middle of nature...
This is like a dream apartment life. I LOVE this picture so much.

Insane, that is all.

I need twigs as bed posts.
