singing softly -- THE HAZARDS OF LOVE

[extemporally]

Today I wore my rainbow scarf to work. Technically it is not MY scarf, but my friend's scarf. I saw it once and liked it so much she let me bring it home and there it has stayed always. She says she does not mind. I like it, because it's a rainbow scarf, but also because -- wow, how did I become that girl who borrows friends' clothes and everything

but how did this blue caramel taste, though? i'm going to be so plagued by it now.

meme? ♥

I will taste it, one of these days!

You!

I love the way you're so brave and unafraid of things, the way you introduce poems and songs and stories to me, the way you want people to love things because you love them with all of your heart. ♥

\o/!!

I like the way you think about things in this very understated way, and the way that translates itself into your writing, which is always gorgeous and makes me imagine myself a little bit more into that universe you've created, hardly without prompting. <3

PS. I steal clothes so much. From my brother, my sister and my father, especially. I wear my dad's sweaters and my brother's t-shirts and my sister's--whatever she left at home when she left for college. And I wear my great grandmother's boots (which, come to think of it, I need to take them to be fixed before the next cold spell hits and I shall be without functional boots to wear).

I like that mental image of you, bundled up with the clothes of various people you know and love. ♥

I love you because you are a Bastion of something considerably better than good sense: of idealism and anger where it's needed, of justice and equality, of being proud and unapologetic. Some days I need that very, very much. I love you because you love poetry and writing and take them seriously in a way that feels very acute sometimes, and because you are a lovely person filled with big things. <3

I'm sorry I'm all sniffly now. *pats at eyes*

I went to this place that had a ridiculous amount of flavours of ice cream; literally hundreds. The options were overwhelming, and there were all sorts of really strange combinations of flavours.

Also,consider this me replying.

I think I'd be slightly overwhelmed if I actually visited a place like that, but for now just let me imagine it, and in my imagination it is AWESOME.

You! I like you because you are calm and quiet and understated which I admire and seek to emulate very much on some days, and which provide a neat counterpoint to me (and which I admire again) on my other, messier days, and also because you are earnest in the best way possible: I don't think I've ever seen you say anything malicious or downright mean. You are a rockstar in terms of that. <333

[nova33]

Yeah, because you're such a mean person yourself. No, thank you - I'm glad that I come across as being so understated and earnest, because I think most people in RL would laugh if you described me as such. ♥

Encouraged by my flist, I think I shall TAKE THE PLUNGE!!

Still am, I think (I was going to say 'I'm afraid', but today I'm not afraid!! Why should I be afraid?)

Here is what I like about you: that you are loud and exuberant and very welcoming, that we didn't talk at all until this/early last year, but once we started talking we didn't stop, and that it doesn't feel weird, just nice. :)
