theme three: all that's left

i definitely could have thought of more themes...but i'm impatient.


this makes me laugh so much. that cat must be a saint to be putting up with this


one day i will attempt this

lactose free is the way to be

one of my favorite movies as a kid. i was talking to a guy recently and i was saying how my childhood movie crush was on rufio from hook (it still is), and he told me his was ms. honey from matilda because he's always had a thing for sweet girls. i've always had a thing for guys who seem a little bit wild.

this tattoo is unbelieveable. it reminds me of the chi rho from the book of kells that i did a research essay on last year.

all i need.

crazy illustration by t.s. abe



forget who this is by, but it reminds me of the film/novel running with scissors.


one of the pros of having kids. getting to dress them in monster costumes. if i saw this in real life i'd be happy for a week straight.


picture from pat o'dell in venice (from epicly later'd)



the real reason why that when we're upset we go to our rooms. our walls sprout faces and love you.



this picture shows exactly what a good cozy cuddle feels like

i dunno what's scarier, this girls face or the look of that jam. blek.

i need to refind this. it was a blast. until you lost all the marbles and couldn't play anymore.

i was going through a bunch of pictures i saved. i saved so many they'll have to come out in spurts. themed spurts that is. i wish i could think of a better word than spurts, it sounds gross. spurts.

How Sloane Peterson Taught me how to be an Awesome Girlfriend.

cute article:



"-Get along with his friends if you don’t get along with his friends you are done. seriously. That is number 1. Even if you think his friends are uptight weirdos or hypochondriac freaks, HEY, he is friends with them for a reason, so cut the shit. You’ve probably got some weird and crappy friends too…

-Rein him in, but only when necessary you are his girlfriend, not his mother. If he wants to sing to the city on a giant float, let him do it. He’s a big man and he can deal with the consequences. You can nicely remind him, Look, if you do that there might be trouble, but if you throw a bitch fit and give him the silent treatmeant you will look fucking retarded when he has a new girlfriend on his arm from the impressive stunts he’s pulled.

-Be funny “He’s licking the glass and making obscene gestures with his hands.” simple as that.

-Be confident Look, one of the reasons Ferris loved her was because she was cool and classy lady, she didn’t stress. She uttered the words and believed “He’s gonna marry me.” She probably knows if her boyfriend was running through a backyard and saw 2 girls tanning he probably would stop and say hello, but she also knows that he would spend hours of stress and risk his neck to get her out of school to just see her. Relax. You have him. He’s not going anywhere, and if he talks to other girls who the fuck cares YOU are the one he wants to marry.

-Say Eloquent Shit did Sloane ever use the word “like” as much as you do in your daily conversation? No. Drop the habit that makes you seem like a dumb valley girl and trade it for stellar vocab terms like “warmth & compassion” and “devastatingly handsome.” Once you’ve mastered talking like an adult, you’ll be able to spew pearls of poetry like “The city looks so peaceful from up here…”

-Pack lightly ever notice how tiny Sloane’s purse was? The bigger the purse, the lamer the girl. Its called baggage for a reason.

-Be able to keep up with the boys Hey, if you’ve got cramps, take a fucking midol and strap in. You don’t ever wanna be the girlfriend who is a drag and never wants to go out. A girl who can say she cruised with the top down in a convertible, swung by the Stock Exchange, and took in a Cubs game all in one day, is sorta girl who you wanna keep around.

-Look badass in a jacket with fringe The End."

nylons for guys

i buy nylon guys magazine over nylon girls because they talk about more than fashion (well i guess the gals mag does too, but not in the same way). plus they tend to interview guys i love like emile hersch, jason schwartzman and joseph gordon-levitt. i'd rather read about them than seinna miller any day.





p.s: i've discovered that i have a thing for blue eyed, brown haired boys.

p.p.s: i've also realised the depth of my addiction to culture knowledge and the magazines that bring it. right now i have three magazines (vice, nylon guys, above) to catch up on, along with russel brand's autobiography which i will start tonight. i finished dave gorman's googlewhack adventure. really funny. same writing style as danny wallace, same goofy antics. i'd recommend it. but i'd still recommend join me/the yes man by dany wallace first. i'm trying to get my hands on a copy of friends like these by danny wallace and are you dave gorman? by dave gorman/dany wallace. so if anyone could help me out in these areas, you know i'd be appreciative.

triple p.s: i need a bigger bookcase. but first i shall rearrange my room to make room. if i could, i'd eat books for breakfast (assuming their words/stories would absorb into my body and i'd become filled to the brim with facts and funny tales).

today i feel good.
