the most excited dandelion in the field




packed my whole room and loved possessions into boxes, i feel like a dandy lion that has been pulled from the ground and knowing all my things are safe and sound at my farm waiting for me hidden like treasures for a good 6 months.. a little kid has just blown all my dandelion feathers free into a big open field that is the world.. ive never felt so free.. will be so much fun when i unpack it all next year, and who knows where i might be unpacking it, a new space, a new canvas, so exciting.

under my skin


season 3 of skins is my latest fad, i never watch television but i wouldn't be surprised if i didn't realise two days had passed when watching this gold.

banana & a cigarette for breakfast

breakfast: when you sleep you fast from food, and the word breakfast means break the fast.

for the love of hoarding

teapot night-light my friend ali bought me the other day - "it had your name all over it"

hoarder - a person who accumulates things and hides them away for future use.

i cant be a hoarder then.. because everything i find, buy, recieve as a present, or choose to keep when i cant bear to see it be thrown away, is on display in my room. touche'

the smell of old books

i found this poem in an old book (hood - first series), with gold trim, edges dried by the sun.

EQUESTRIAN COURTSHIP
it was a young maiden went forth to ride,
and there was a wooer to pace by her side;
his horse was so little, and hers so high,
he thought his angel was up in the sky.

his love was great tho' his wit was small;
he bade her ride easy-and that was all.
the very horses began to neigh,-
because their betters had nought to say.

they rode by elm, and they rode by oak,
they rode by a church-yard, and then he spoke:-
:my pretty maiden, if you'll agree
you shall always amble through life with me."

the damsel answer'd him never a word,
but kick'd the grey mare, and away she spurr'd.
the wooer still follow'd behind the jade,
and enjoy'd-like a wooer-the dust she made.

they rode thro' moss, and they rode thr' moor,-
the gallant behind and the lass before:-
at last they came to a miry place,
and there the sad wooer gave up the chase.

quoth he, "if my nag were better to ride,
i'd follow her over the world so wide.
oh, it is not my love that begins to fail,
but i've lost the last glimpse of that grey mare's tail!"

flowers in bed


kate alison, a girl i met recently, has the most amazing voice and has never had a music lesson in her life. she writes her own music, and has taught herself to play the guitar and sing. this is my favourite one of her songs.

happiness and harmony

waybuloo is a kids show that i came across this morning when my little brother was watching tv and we watched it together and didnt say one word through the whole episode. it puts you into a sort of trance, into a magical land called Nara, inhabited by adorable animated characters called piplings.
