These photos make me want to rock out!

...which brings me to another point. I tend to burst into semi-obscure movie/Friends quotes that not many people get. Unless the person I am quoting to is my mom, I tend to get a lot of wierd looks. Marissa gets some too, but not all. For example, she wouldn't have gotten my break out of Pippin quotes after lunch the other day when I was STILL hungry (we've had one yes. But what abut second breakfasts? I don't think he knows about second breakfasts. What about elevensies? tea? luncheon? supper? dinner? Thankfully, Natalie got that one after a little aid.) but she would have gotten the apple pie a la mode joke last night. (i'd like strawberry if you have it). Only my old friend Brian used to get my Friends references, but I haven't seen him in years. : (

Anyway, Ashley probably gets the title of this post. These photos are of a cool band called Art Brut (courtsey of their myspace). They have a song that includes the lyrics:

"Modern art makes me want to rock out!"













Possible Solutions:

1. Expose my friends to the fabulousness of the media I enjoy.
2. Get new friends.
3. Stop acting like such a dork.
4. Stop caring that people look at me like I am crazy when I quote things they don't get.

Any suggestions? : )

I like it.

Fashion (turn to the left) Fashion (turn to the right)

"My rule of thumb is always wear what you want, when you want. That will create your own personal style and that is fashion to me"

-Betsy Johnson

I found this quote in blog-land today and it reminded me of how I used to view my relation to fashion in the pre-What not to Wear/The Girls Next Door/America's Next Top Model/The Search for the Next Pussy-Cat Doll days. Ah, simpler times.

I think I watch too much T.V.

Words of Wisdom

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." -Lao-Tzu

I came across this quote at my grandpa's birthday party the other day. I have a little box of "love cards" (little sealed cards that have quotes about love in them), and I stuck one in my grandpa's card on a whim. Since it was sealed, I didn't know what the quote was until he passed it around the table while we were having our post-cake coffee. I found the quote spoke to my heart, and it affirmed some conclusions I have reached concerning my love life lately. When my grandpa, grandpa, and aunt all agreed that the quote held a great deal of wisdom and truth, I felt even more confident in and happy about some decisions I have made recently. It has been hard for me to detect and trust true love in my life because I haven't witnessed much happiness and stability in romantic relationships. But when my grandma and grandpa, two lovely and commited people who have been together for over fifty years, affirmed my belief in a quote about love, I felt very right in the world.
