THIS!

life...

Thu, 31 May 2012 01:33:16 +0100

is falling apart around my family and i feel powerless to stop it.

restless...

Mon, 28 May 2012 13:36:31 +0100

i don’t know what to do with myself. i’ve ran out of new books to read and this is not going down very well. i feel lost without a book now. muse for writing has taken a nose dive, despite wanting to write something i just can’t fathom any kind of inclination to do so. i want to get out of here but lack the energy to move.

i feel like my life is at a standstill and is headed nowhere in particular - this feeling is distressing. the only thing i can do is ride it out and hope it passes quickly.

ugh. i need a change.

Knight Rider syndrome

Wed, 23 May 2012 14:26:23 +0100

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:

n. disillusionment upon rewatching a beloved pop-culture touchstone of your youth and having to confront its hand-puppet characterization, magnetic-poetry dialogue, jury-rigged plots and undisguised pandering to its audience, all of which—by the power of Grayskull—makes you wonder what else in your mental fridge is past its expiration date.

this causes me to wonder what else in my life i remember incorrectly; what other parts of me and my history would be better left forgotten and where lies the truth in all of the youthful things that created the person i am today?

swish fulfillment

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:

n. the feeling of delicate luck after casually tossing something across the room and hitting your target so crisply and perfectly that you feel no desire to even attempt another shot, which is a more compelling argument for the concept of monogamous love than anything sung to a guitar.

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:

n. the default expression that your face automatically reverts to when idle—amused, melancholic, pissed off—which occurs when a strong emotion gets buried and forgotten in the psychological laundry of everyday life, leaving you wearing an unintentional vibe of pink or blue or gray, or in rare cases, a tie-dye of sheer madness.

my mother says “you look just like your father!” when this happens to me. i’m never sure if i should take this as a compliment or an insult whenever she says it. despite his many MANY pitfalls, i’m glad i have something of his that no one else can lay claim to.

thedailywhat:

Movie Trailer of the Day: Tom, a man who suffers from Fragile X syndrome — “a sort of autism with bells on” — had just one dream: to meet Metallica’s Lars Ulrich. Mission To Lars is the epic story of how his brother and sister try to make his dream reality. (Don’t miss the intro trailer,which details the method to their madness.)

Premieres in the U.K. on June 6; sadly, no word on a U.S. release.

[thanks, mat!]

i quite literally cried my eyes out at this trailer. it’s so heartfelt and endearing and really hit close to home for me. the lengths this brother and sister would go to to make their other brother’s dream come true is astounding. i can’t wait for it to be released.

apomakrysmenophobia

Thu, 17 May 2012 15:50:41 +0100

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:

n. fear that your connections with people are ultimately shallow, that although your relationships feel congenial at the time, an audit of your life would produce an emotional safety deposit box of low-interest holdings and uninvested windfall profits, which will indicate you were never really at risk of joy, sacrifice or loss.

i fear this is my life. ho hum.

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:

n. the smallest measurable unit of human connection, typically exchanged between passing strangers—a flirtatious glance, a sympathetic nod, a shared laugh about some odd coincidence—moments that are fleeting and random but still contain powerful emotional nutrients that can alleviate the symptoms of feeling alone.

i love getting immersed in a book, allowing the emotions it wants to evoke spewing forth, be it tears, laughter, hatred, anger, sorrow or pain. that’s the sign of great writing.

the comforting feeling that comes from gentle caresses while you sleep, the person next to you just drawing small figures of 8 on your back. a soft touch to wake up to, warm and inviting… even despite how terrifying it all is too.

Matthew Gray Gubler’s reasons to stay alive

this list is amazing. so many things to see and do, something to make you think. something worth waking up for every day, even though sometimes the notion just seems incredibly difficult, especially when you’re waking up to the same monotony of the day before, and the day before that… and the day before that. this list makes life seem almost worthwhile.

The makings of a perfect night in! the best friend and i, sitting and hashing out the injustices of the world, where we see ourselves in ten years time, what we hate about our current lives and what we’d give anything to change.

if only life was this simple every day of the week.

HA!

Titles for groups of birds ;

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:55:00 +0100

i’ve always held a certain fascination for the collective

nouns when it comes to a group of birds.

every single one is different - no two the same. the

creativity expressed when deciding and compiling a

list such as this (this list doesn’t even hold every

collective noun, it is more small taste). if there was

one thing i wish, it’s that i could shake the hand of

whomever is responsible for thinking these up.

my favourite will always be ‘a parliament of owls’.

A bevy of quail

A bouquet of pheasants [when flushed]

A brood of hens

A building of rooks

A cast of hawks [or falcons]

A charm of finches

A colony of penguins

A company of parrots

A cover of coots

A covey of partridges [or grouse or ptarmigans]

A deceit of lapwings

A descent of woodpeckers

A dissimulation of birds

A dole of doves

An exaltation of larks

A fall of woodcocks

A flight of swallows [or doves, goshawks, or cormorants]

A gaggle of geese [wild or domesticated]

A host of sparrows

A kettle of hawks [riding a thermal]

A murmuration of starlings

A murder of crows

A muster of storks

A nye of pheasants [on the ground]

An ostentation of peacocks

A paddling of ducks [on the water]

A parliament of owls

A party of jays

A peep of chickens

A pitying of turtledoves

A raft of ducks

A rafter of turkeys

A siege of herons

A skein of geese [in flight]

A sord of mallards
