More from Anna

I put her down, and I picked her up again and I fell in love again. I realized I missed her.

"'Oh,' and Anna went on, 'How wonderful it is to be your age! I remember well that blue mist, like the haze on the mountains in Switzerland. I know it so well. The mist which envelops everything, that blissful time when childhood is just coming to an end and its enormous happy, merry circle becomes a path that grows narrower, and narrower, and you feel gay and at the same time fearful as you enter this long avenue of life, though it seems bright and beautiful. Who has not passed through it?'" pg. 88

"Kitty looked into his face, which was so close to her, and then for a long time afterward, for years afterward, that look so full of love that she gave him and which met with no response from him cut her to the heart with tormenting shame." pg. 96

"She saw that Anna was intoxicated with the wine of admiration she had aroused." pg. 97

Today will be different, I swear

So I've been inactive here, clearly, for a while.
Many things are different, too many to list.

But first thing's first, I'm back on again. The wagon? Just back. I want to go vegan to improve what I'm eating. So I'm going vegan for a month, maybe longer. Who knows? The vegetarian thing stuck for 6+years!
I'm going to go vegan, and I'm going to read more.
READ READ READ more.
And I'm going to brush my teeth at night. Every night.
And I'm going to work out at least three times a week. And go for a walk (even if its a short one) every day.

I am not going to encourage things that are unhealthy in my life.
- 'associating' with people who do not respect me as they should is one
- eating poorly
- staying in bed all day or inside all day

Self-promotion, with a teaspoon of shame:

...but not self-conscious shame, shame that comes from knowing I should be doing more productive things than creating a tumblr account and giving myself over to this new-found addiction!

Will post more anon, mais c'est minuit!

D.H Lawrence

I don't know much about this guy, other than that I really like his ideas...and that he wrote Lady Chatterley's Lover - but I found myself in awe of this recent mash-up adaptation of Women in Love and The Rainbow... some of the ideas floating around really struck me. Has a man written females so well, ever?

Must look into Mr. Lawrence:

Self Pity
I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.

This is Why it's Still Hot

Bathing-suit season is (almost!) upon us once more...and what has the last year yielded us?

Elizabeth, I feel like we've come full circle

More than a year ago I raved about her inspiring beauty and now I find myself in slight disbelief that an era has ended. I hope she is happy, wherever she is.
