i have so many fucking feelings about seeing the dresden dolls in boston last night.

Right now I am sitting at my desk in my classroom; the girls are in drama class. Last night I skipped out early & I drove Heathcliff to rew’s apartment, got lost on the way to davis train station, & then made it to park street. Rew & I (& allen) stood in the ( Read more... )

"I love that I can feel the inside
of the feelings in you,
even if it stops my life
even if it hurts too much
or takes me off track
even if it breaks my heart.
It makes me responsible.

i finished last night!
i still like heathcliff more than mr. rochester, but brenna is right; you pretty much forgive the novel all of it's sexist, racist, western-centric faults & weird religious overtones because jane is so cool.

"Jane, do you understand what I want of you? Just this promise- 'I will be yours, Mr. Rochester.'"
"Mr. Rochester, I will not be yours."

"After inside upheavals, it is important to fix on imperturbable things. Their imperturbableness, their air that nothing has happened renews our guarantee. Pictures would not be hung plumb over the centres of fireplaces or wallpapers posted with such precisions that their seams make no break in the pattern if life were really not possible to ( Read more... )

 "...She had decided that when she met him she would be cool. They would behave toward each other in a manner appropriate to their respective stations. She crossed the yard and went into the vegetable garden. He was there, and her heart sang at the sight of him.
