tonight i have no real direction in my life. my plans for the next few years are up in the air, and i am feeling lost and scared. but tonight i have hope, and i’m going to hold on to it for dear life.

today’s lovely is brought to you by people who make the worst part of your day (in my case, the waking/getting up part) better.

the last episode of the british version of the office. i won’t spoil it, but those of you that have seen it will know what i’m talking about. those of you that haven’t, what on earth are you waiting for?

there is a song by barry louis polisar called “all i want is you.” it was featured on the soundtrack of juno, which was a pretty nice movie. while the whole song is catchy and sweet, there is a particular couple of lines that make me smile every time i hear them:

If you were a castle, I’d be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I’d learn to float.

dear mr polisar, thanks for withstanding the urge to rhyme moat with boat.

my mum got me these at the asian super store. they are shiny. i love them.

it feels like it has been a rough couple of weeks. but never fear, the darkness always lifts!

or, as is the case for today’s lovely, the darkness falls! my camera is back, and i am so happy.

today’s bit of happy is brought to you by james who got me a gift that was awesome for two very important reasons. first, it was needed. and second, it satisfied both my need for privacy in the event of emergency visitors, AND my paranoia over being snuck up on, “psycho” style.

i suddenly find myself overcome with emotion at trying to describe one of the nicest things anyone has told me in a very long time. possibly ever.

i have been away, so maybe i should just stay away and not post this, because it is by no means complete. but i had such lovely today. i want to share it, i just don’t have the words.

i went for a walk with anna, she took the dogs out to an off leash park. the weather was mild and the sun was shining, the puppies were happy and so were we.
