if you are chilly, here take my sweater
Okay, I'm totally going to shut up about my layout for maybe the next week or two until I get sick of it and make a new one, but I beautified it a little bit more with the help of grdnofevrythng . Now I have a pretty background to go with my pretty graphic. I'm mucho pumped about it and am so glad she helped me…she's kind of a big deal. *bows to her* check it out! ubiquitousmixie
Let's see…what else to write about…I don't even know if I have anything worth writing about. I just don't want to go to bed. And I'm lonely as hell and it's cold. If I could be doing anything at this very moment, I'd be snuggling with someone special under a blanket, holding her hand, sipping tea, and watching some old French movie. But alas….i'm alone. I'm mostly okay with that.
It was a decent day. I finished my job much earlier than I anticipated, and with that came a surge of excitement for having accomplished something that I worked so hard on. I love that feeling. And I resurrected an old old old knitting project from several years ago…when I was living in Chicago, I was working on a combination hat/scarf for my roommate and the pattern didn't work correctly and the writer of the pattern wouldn't help me, so the project was abandoned. Well, a mixture of guilt and determination had me look at it again, and I ended up just knitting the two halves of the scarf together and starting a separate hat. It's not what I'd originally set out to do, but hopefully she will like it just the same. I hope so. I felt really good having worked on it again.
Let's see…I also painted my nails. They're white…with zebra stripes. They're pretty fucking cute if I do say so myself.
Oh, and I watched "The Age of Innocence." I love that movie. I really love period films, and this one especially is just…ugh. I love it. It's all about the constraints of society and how it prohibits these two people from being together who are perfect for each other. And there's something about that time period and how things are so rigid and conservative…there are moments in the film that capture that so perfectly. There's one scene where the man, Daniel Day-Lewis, takes the hand of the woman he loves, Michelle Pfeiffer, and he unbuttons all of the little pearl buttons of her glove, revealing her wrist, and he kisses it. I mean, they end up kissing afterwards, but that one completely subtle moment is incredibly passionate and romantic and erotic and just…perfect. /random.
I guess that's all I really have to talk about at the moment. I could talk about what I have coming up in the next few days, but that will make upcoming entries exceptionally boring.
So, for now, I bid you adieu.
