Not being able to have chocolate makes Easter pretty pointless.
Cryin myself to sleep :(
Last night I had another dream about the zombie apocalypse.
Tess Lynch saved my life.
“Love, in itself, doesn’t trouble me at all. It gives you courage, security, helps you to ignore other trifling things. It’s in great passion that I have never believed. Give me one example of a great passion, a true one, one with Christian names, surnames, and addresses, not some legendary one, and I’ll believe it. You see? You’re silent.
Great passions, my dear, don’t exist, they’re liars’ fantasies. What do exist are little loves that may last for a short or a longer while. That’s why, every time I’ve loved a man, I’ve never let it overwhelm me. I have loved him, I’ve even been jealous of the flies touching him, but I have known all along that it had to end. And when it ends…you cry a bit, but then you get over it. Two, three months later, you meet him in the street and it seems impossible you could ever have lost any sleep or shed any tears over him. Pouf!” —

Why I can’t imagine myself actually buying drugs.
Me: Hey…. soo…. can I buy some pot, please?
Drug Dealer: How much do you want?
Me: Uhm.. I would like… a dime? I heard that in a movie once! Actually, while I have you, may I have two. So, two dimes please. 20 cents worth.
Drug Dealer: What kind?
Me: Err, I don’t know. What’s your favesies?
Drug Dealer: Get the fuck out of here.
Reasons I have left the bar early, claiming I was tired:
- to eat chips and salsa
- to eat leftovers
- to listen to the soundtrack of Vicky Cristina Barcelona on the ride home
I feel like Coco Rocha should actually be the name of a candy. At the store you'd find them between the Ferrero Rochers and Lindor truffles.
