Remember

Charlotte: I just don't know what I'm supposed to be.
Bob: You'll figure that out. The more you know who you are, and what you want,
the less you let things upset you.

Daydreams and nightdreams

Well let's start from ridiculous and go from there. 

(Stranger than Fiction)

I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, mostly about travel and photography and life and excitement and contentment.

I feel like I'm in a rerun. And not a very interesting one, sad to say.

An escape from normalcy is what I need. 

Or motivation. 

Or an initiative.

Or a break, most probably.

Electric (Drunken) Youth

Yeah, I like parties, you know?

An empty stomach on five-inch heels tumbles easily after two cigarettes and a couple of drinks.
Lesson learned.
Still, at the end of the day, it's she who gets wasted who does not waste.

Without a care

Eli: I wish you'd have done this for me when I was a kid.

Richie: But you didn't have a drug problem then.

Eli: Yeah, but it still would've meant a lot to me.

The Royal Tenenbaums

Days go by so fast and yet I'm still the same.

I need a change.

(What's new?)

Look me in the eye

And tell me you don't find me attractive

Where does the good go?

Where do you go when you're in love and the world knows?

Where does the good go, Tegan and Sara

Look at you---you're growing old so young."

Asleep at the trigger

Sometimes, I get these massive headaches and everything, especially my thoughts, gets all jumbled and mixed up. I find it difficult to explain myself (I'm easily confused, you see) so I let Mr. Murakami do the talking:

"Everybody's born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can't seem to do it. They just don't get it. Of course, the problem could be that I'm not explaining it very well, but I think it's because they're not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they're not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things."

(Haruki Murakami)

I think I'm going to call this a 'Holden' moment.

Over my head

So what, you're never understood?

Big deal, you're doomed to die

Oh, oh, nothing ever lasts

It all gets torn to shreds.

(Jon Brion)

So here I am contemplating scholastic suicide. 

Okay. 

Right.
