And even if her plane crashes tonight she’ll find some way to disappoint me, by not burning in the wreckage, or drowning at the bottom of the sea.

“You said, ‘I love you.’ Why is it that the most unoriginal thing we can say to...”
– Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body I first discovered Jeanette Winterson in collage, and I didn’t really get it. Reading her at 18 and it’s just too much, especially in a Theatre Arts class. I then had to read Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit at uni in first year and I loved it....

See Balzac’s house
So I study English literature, and Balzac was this guy, who wrote some books and now I want to see his house. Google images says it looks like this:
Books and wooden furniture seems as good a reason to go somewhere as anywhere.
Go to the flea markets
It just looks like the coolest thing ever. Where else can I buy bricabrac I do not want, need and isn’t even...

Every song is about you, every quote sums up how you feel and every day is just an endless longing, a self-indulgent waiting game. Then, you meet someone. You fall in love. The real deal. And you have nothing to say. Declarations don’t...

Show a little faith, there's magic in the night.
Spoke to Poop.
Spoke to my best friend for the first time in a month last night - It’s ridiculous that we don’t talk as much, I would like to fix that. I miss her all the time. The amount of times I’ve got teary about it. What a silly mess we find ourselves in. Today ought to consist of getting my ass back to Southampton, but I don’t feel like it yet, so I’m making multiple task...
