a guy at work today tried to get me to discount the velvet jacket he wanted because it had lint on it. even after i removed it using a lint brush he still wanted a discount caz it was still "dirty" as he called it. it's a velvet jacket, what do you expect? also, this was the 3rd time i'd dealt with the same guy coming in for the saaaaame jacket. he still didn't buy it.
know what i'm sick of? fake laughs and fake smiles. you can always tell.
one thing that attracts me to people (for friendship and otherwise) are genuine smiles (well genuine people in general). when you're happy, you make others happy.
laughter is good for the soul they say. apparently your body can't tell your real laughs from your fake laughs, so if you're in a bad mood, start "laughing" and it should make you feel better. at least a little bit. if nothing else you'll probably smile at how silly you sound.
i need another karaoke night soon. i've realized i haven't sung my karaoke night song is too long:

kinda funny because a lot of these things bring back really random memories. all the phone numbers and house addresses remind me of people and parties past. lots of the quotes are from when i was thinking of getting a script tattoo and trying to find something i liked. and "VHKLHD" is definitely a password for a video game i was playing lol. 2009, you've been an interesting and unexpected year.

wording is everything
i'm about to begin a major photo explosion. a somewhat categorized explosion. starting with words.
"Dare I say I miss him? I do. I miss him. I still see him in my dreams. They are nightmares mostly, but nightmares tinged with love. Such is the strangeness of the human heart."
-life of pi
"When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn’t need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example. Now, in the long run, that’s just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, it’s just what you’ve been searching for all these years."
-alex garland
when i was a kid...i had no reservations about anything. i don't remember ever being nervous.
