I won the math award in Grade 8

Now I drop hundreds on holiday dresses & coats.

And walk home to skip the $2.75 subway fare.

seeing ghosts


I was away for awhile and now I'm back with new feelings, experiences, emotions... and clothes. I accidentally spent more money than I make, which means I'm also back with that guilty feeling.

Watched Adaptation last night in an attempt to extend my vacation in Fort Lauderdale. Toured the Everglades. Learned about the rare and highly coveted Ghost Orchid. Received a special bracelet with the best alligator tooh because I can, at times, be "just adorable."

Anyways, that's not the quote I wanted to write about. Instead, I'm keeping track of the most memorable lines from my second viewing of this awesome film.

1. "When you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way."

2. "I want to know what it feels like to care about something so passionately."

3. "... the reason it matters is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size."

4. "... it's a little fantastic and fleeting and out of reach."

And, perhaps the most important life lesson:

5. "You are what you love. Not what loves you."

the big reveal

Today hurts. My head feels like it got hit by a truck and now my stomach hurts from eating two too many crepes. My hungover self couldn't decide between sweet and savoury, so went with both. I actually can't believe I left the house today; now all I can think about is crawling back into my oh-so comfortable bed with books and movies.

Last night I wore a pretty black dress. I also wore crystal earrings and a diamond ring. I had a rose pinned to my dress. My hair was loosely curled (and even looser now). And I had more roses. And I had overnight cards. And I carried three framed 8x10 photos of Reid, Kiptyn and Ed.

And now it's time to go lie down.
