Scattered Thoughts

My duck buddy that I stalked this weekend.

-My moods are too easily swayed by the weather these days. I'm so ready for spring. Winter blueeees. Vitamin D supplements have kept me a little bit sane.
-I need to make more effort to step out of my comfort zone. I've made a list of different things I want to do and I'm going to start working on this soon. Someone once told me that I need to stop letting fear rule my life and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.
-I'm becoming quite the sticker and stationary hoarder. I signed up for a pen pal site a few months ago, and now I finally have a reason to use it all. This excites me.
-Got my wisdom teeth extracted last Friday and I still feel a bit proud of myself for getting through it without being a complete baby.
-There are three boxes of Girl Scout cookies on the counter that won't stop staring at me and one box has already been murdered.
-Game of Thrones and Orphan Black next month - ahhhhh, can't wait!
-I wish I felt more freedom to express myself without feeling cautious or worrying about what others think.
-More list making. Making a list of all the things that make me happy lately in an effort to not dwell on the crappy.
-I fight a constant battle between wanting to become a healthier person and........fries.
-True Detective on HBO - I was a little obsessed with this show and I still can't believe the transformation Matthew McConoughahadfhey has made over these past few years.
-Turquoise nails make me happy.
-Trying to convince Matt that we need a hamster.
-Hoping to go see The Grand Budapest Hotel at our local art theatre soon soon soon.
-Constantly overwhelmed with all the things I want to do and then doing none of it. 

Little Things

Days have been a tad dull lately tbh <3
(if you have instagram feel free to follow me: @paperie)

Film Club: Fish Tank (2009)

 Mia, an aggressive fifteen-year-old girl, lives on an Essex estate with her tarty mother, Joanne, and precocious little sister Tyler. She has been thrown out of school and is awaiting admission to a referrals unit and spends her days aimlessly. She begins an uneasy friendship with Joanne's slick boyfriend, Connor, who encourages her one interest, dancing.*

Waiting for Spring

From this weekend at Cox Arboretum <3 The warmer temps didn't last long but it was a nice little break.

Minor Obsessions: Broad City

Broad City follows two women throughout their daily lives in New York City, making the smallest and mundane events hysterical and disturbing to watch all at the same time.

Lorde - Buzzcut Season

Dear Valentine

Cheesy fun nails.

Don't mind the claw hands.

My friend and I were complaining about boredom and decided to make cards for each other.

I'm not a huge lipstick person but I love these Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks.

Kinda weird thing to say about lipstick but they also smell great!

Film Club: Mary and Max

Mary and Max (2009) - A tale of friendship between two unlikely pen pals: Mary, a lonely, eight-year-old girl living in the suburbs of Melbourne, and Max, a forty-four-year old, severely obese man living in New York. 

Gold

Pale gold of the walls, gold
of the centers of daisies, yellow roses
pressing from a clear bowl. All day
we lay on the bed, my hand
stroking the deep
gold of your thighs and your back.
We slept and woke
entering the golden room together,
lay down in it breathing 
quickly, then
slowly again,
caressing and dozing, your hand sleepily
touching my hair now.

We made in those days
tiny identical rooms inside our bodies
which the men who uncover our graves 
will find in a thousand years,
shining and whole.

Musical Moods: Zero 7- Swing

  Thought you’d be forever the same
When did you become so easy to change?
Can’t like who I won’t
No, that’s not true
I do know
Just can’t figure out how to pin down
There will be no unguarded kisses,
let go of my hand when they’re around
They say I’m unsound
But what do they know?
They can’t figure out how to get down
Soon enough I won’t care
stay in my arms, if you dare
You can’t romanticize
They are crazy
Will only let you down
Try to figure out how to keep you down
They’re all alone
I will keep you down
