when i'm with you

in other news...

moving on

I will not take blame or responsibility, not for this.
You're an idiot, and you've wasted this all.  
It'll break my heart to look at you for the rest of my time here.
But looking is all i'll do, even that will be a rarity.

sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking...

A playlist for your wednesday.

no i never could be tamed, better believe it

Are you kidding me? Lily Cole? KISS? Jesus Christ.

With an unfortunate abundance of time to think of you.

One of my favorite photographers, Nan Goldin, photographed a series of real-life couples having sex.

I love how (obviously) sexual these shots are, without seeming pornographic.  Just real.

Herr God, Herr Lucifer
Beware
Beware.

Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair
And I eat men like air.

It's sunday, so...

....just a few babes with bushes

if you live through this with me

  

"I'm not a woman. I'm a force of nature."

gutless

It has taken me a little over a week to sit down and actually write this.  I wanted to do it sooner, but it just wasn't something I was prepared to think about in depth, but obviously, how could I not?  This event has replayed in my mind countless times and I tried foolishly to block it out.

Last week I witnessed a "man" beat up his girlfriend.  He repeatedly punched her in the face while sitting on top of her, and broke her nose.

The thought actually went through his head that it would be okay to do this.  This is something that wasn't wrong to him.  

He was about 6' tall, and she was around 5'4.  She didn't stand a chance.  He would've known this.  When she pushed him back in retaliation for his first push, and he actually fell, that was it.

This kind of thing happens all of the time.  It happens to people who I'm friends with, people who I know, people who I see around.

And it is not okay.  No one in this world has the right to take away so much from you.

Most men can't even fathom what it would feel like to have every last bit of dignity, strength, pride, courage, and control over your own body taken away from them.  And it's not just as assault (of any kind) is occurring, the after effects are just as bad if not worse sometimes.

While this was happening, while I witnessed this piece of shit commit a horrible offence on someone who trusted him, there was a group of around eight males standing and watching.  

THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.  

How could they not do anything?  The EASILY could have over powered him.

I lost my fucking mind.  How could this be happening and no one was doing anything?

If this happened to me, would anyone intervene?  Would I have a crowd of people watching me, like some barbaric ritual?  

Are people that scared to get hurt that they wont even stand up for someones basic rights as a human being?  

I was with my boyfriend and the two of us were the only people to yell at him,

the only two to call the police,

and the only two to clean her up and stay with her.

I wanted to write this to bring it to peoples' attention.  This is not a rare occurrence, it happens all the time.

If helping someone else means that I have to get hurt, so be it.  I know that if I were in that situation it wouldn't even be measurable how grateful I would be.

Please don't turn away and pretend it doesn't exist.  If it's not in your life realise how lucky you are, but be aware that not everyone else has that luxury.  And those people need help.

No one deserves to have their rights stripped from them.  And no one has the right to take them away from you.

nice weather

friends who put in effort (especially those who live in different countries and still are amazing)

this good friend reminded me that how you react to things defines you, and it's been such a motivator recently.

and that's about it.

This song has been on constant repeat.

enjoy the silence

And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what you want me to.

you know those guys who aren't very cute but always date total babes?

you know those pictures that you take that you'll only ever show one person?

well, did you know it's just been one of those nights for me?

Deperately Seeking Susan? So good.

The idea of this video being banned from regular broadcasting before 9pm is so ridiculously insulting.

rude boy

 

i saw shutter island last night and my leo flame was re-ignited.

breathe in sweet fresh-cut grass scented air,

hear birds chirping,

not hear my radiators,

and generally just be so content with being content.

What is it about certain people, that attracts them to the down-trodden of society so specifically?  

Is it a subconsious desire to forget their own pain by focusing solely on the problems of others?  

Or is it moreso a selfish, vicious circle, driven by the need to help others in order to fill some self-gratifying egoistical void?

What comes is better than what came before

lost little girl

Quand he suis seule, quand je m'ennuie

Quand ils sont longs les jours de pluie
Quand je suis seule quand je m'ennuie
Que dans un rythme monotone
Au fond de moi ton nom résonne

Il me reste cet air-là
Qui vient me parler de toi
Car en chantant cet air-là
Je ne peux penser qu'à toi

Lorsque tour à tour dans ma vie
Que je n't'ai pas vu de la semaine
Que je dis comme une litanie
À mon oreiller que je t'aime

Il me reste cet air-là
Qui vient me parler de toi
Car en chantant cet air-là
Je ne peux penser qu'à toi

Sur le triste quai d'une gare
Si un jour la vie nous sépare
Ou que ton cœur change de route
Moi j'aurai le mien en déroute

Il restera cet air-là
À jamais au fond de moi
Car pour toujours cet air-là
Parlera de toi et moi

Il restera cet air-là
À jamais au fond de moi
Et je sais que cet air-là
Te ramènera vers moi

What am I doing?

gah

I can't wait.
