Cold Mountain

He had been living like a dead man and this was life before him, an offering within his reach... he pulled her against him and held her and held her.  She put a hand to the back of his neck and pulled him harder and then she pressed her white arms around him as if forever.

the good ones are always crazy

i like to think their brains are just

too big for their heads

Two foot fall

One word

is all you'd have to say to keep me there

and we'd hold each other tight

we were both just scared

scared of how things move by so fast

or whether or not they're real at all

Love the white.  The lack of upper cabinetry.  The sleek minimalist look.  Divine.

Just Dance

Hot damn.  

This girl is freaking unbelievable.

(When I said "obsessed" you perhaps thought I was kidding?  Silly Internet.)

Don't Stop

This song gives me goosebumps to begin with, and hearing it from a bunch of AWESOME groovin' acapella 5th graders makes it that much better.

I am now obsessed with the PS-22 chorus.  (And the adorable inspirational director.  That has to be the greatest job ever, no?)

(Thanks Jaya!)

The Big Love

And the worst part - yes, there is a worst part - is that even when you think you've figured all this out, you haven't.  Even when you think you've got it all down, you don't.  Even when you think you've gone and made it all conscious, it isn't.  You just think it is.  Even now, you're probably convinced you've figured this stuff out.  You're probably thinking, yes, I used to be just like you, but then I did the work, I ironed out the kinks in my psyche, I found the right person, we do mirroring exercises with each other, we've pulled back our projections, and now I'm happy.  And I'm not saying you're not happy.  I'm juts saying this:  Beware of happiness.  Because happiness tends to be temporary.

Goosebump-inducing...

...to realize that that music is coming from the mouths of those little kiddies.

Chinese

I don't want anything more

than to see your face when you open the door

you'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

and we'll get Chinese and watch TV

- Lily Allen

Um. Freaking adorable.

8.

the whole point

is to find someone else 

to link your life to 

balance you

keep you sane

walk with you every step of the way

and tell you 

you're the one
