tomorrows monday, im going to wash my incredibly dirty car (named rambo) & sit in the field & eat strawberries.

& stare in awe at the tiny little chicks that have just hatched - words cannot express the true complete loveliness of them.

hope everyone has an awesome monday:)x

the sea.

live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air...

~ralph waldo emerson

Love is a smoke made with the fumes of sighs. Being purged a fire sparkling in lovers eyes, being vexed a sea nourished with lovers tears, What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall & a persevering sweet

~william shakespeare

we are the musicmakers, we are the dreamers of the dream. wandering by lone sea breakers, & sitting by desolate streams. world losers & world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams. yet we are the movers & the shakers of the world forever it seems

~arthur william edgar o'shaughnessy

for whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea

~ee cummings

i do not know what i may appear to the world, but to myself i seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, & diverting myself in now & then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me

~isaac newton

the sun was shining on the sea, shining with all his might: he did his very best to make the billows smooth & bright - & this was very odd, because it was the middle of the night

~lewis carroll

we were the first that ever burst

into that silent sea

~samuel taylor coleridge

be the change.

balloons.

i would love a balloon right now.

psst...

helloo...

can i tell you guys about a site i found completely by accident a couple of weeks ago?

its two cans and string, & its amaazing. you dont have to be a member, & you can choose to either 'ask' or 'answer'; like, you can submit questions, completely anonymously, & then other people on the site (on the 'answer' part) answer your questions/give advice.

i tend to stick to answering, i dont have any interesting questions i think. & yeah, there are some spammers i guess, but its so lovely & sweet, & i think its possible to make someones day really magical with some kind helpful words.. (although i normally get a bit excited & start talking about how awesome rainbows are..)

join if you'd like & ask/answer away (perhaps il answer one of your questions, look out for some rainbow reference) :)x

me and you and everyone we know.

"I don't want to have to do this living. I just walk around. I want to be swept off my feet, you know? I want my children to have magical powers. I am prepared for amazing things to happen. I can handle it. "

i would really, really love to watch 'the darjeeling limited' again.

wes anderson is a complete genius.

helloo:)
the slight delay in posting is due to a short trip to glasgow, & then edinburgh with my mum. twas lovely, cant wait to go in september. i finished 'everything is illuminated' by jonathan safran foer, & if you havent read it, i recommend it grreatly:)

large maps spread out on tables like patients waiting to be cut open

they waited to die, & we cannot blame them, because we would do the same, & we do do the same.

they say that people who live next to waterfalls dont hear the water

my legal name is alexander perchov, but all of my friends dub me alex, because this is much more flaccid to utter

excellentness.

leaves.

'the one had leaves of dark green that beneath were as shining silver, & from each of his countless flowers a dew of silver light was ever falling, & the earth beneath was dappled with the shadows of his fluttering leaves'

~JRR Tolkien

'do not think of your faults, still less of others' faults; look for what is good & strong, & try to imitate it. your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes'

~John Ruskin

'I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street & run against the wind'

~Leo Buscaglia

It was the noise

Of ancient trees falling while all was still

Before the storm, in the long in

Between the gathering clouds, & that light breeze

Which Germans call the Wind's bride

~charles godfrey leland

And fresh from the clear brook; sweetly they slept

On the blue fields of heaven, & then there crept

A little noiseless noise among the leaves,

Born of the very sigh that silence heaves:

For not the faintest motion could be seen

Of all the shades that slanted o'er the green.

~John Keats

Coldly, sadly descends

The autumn evening. The field

Strewn with its dank yellow drifts

Of wither'd leaves, & the elms,

Fade into dimness apace,

Silent; hardly a shout

From a few boys late at their play!

~matthew arnold
