heavenly creatures

I watched Heavenly Creatures today. It was literally so beautiful and sad and disturbing. It was mostly tragic though. I can imagine Shakespeare writing a long, dramatic play about something like that.

How dost thou view the night?
Tis rational to see the stars when they ought not to be seen?
The lands of dreams call to me. Borovnia? Why dost thou not come to me.
I see you sleeping, are thine eyes closed? Or tis simply my blindness preventing my senses from taking a breath of  your pure sweetness.
We shall not be separated. You the night and I the day. We are apart and yet together. 
The sun and moon cannot survive without each other, just as our lungs and leg would coil up and die without one another.
Separation is worse than death. Is the fourth world where we may find happiness?
Gina, Debora, Charles, Diello! The people of my soul. You align me with the ingenue of grace and immortality.
Soft? Oh not so, sir! Look over the mountain's peak, do you see the clouds? Walk towards them, allow them to envelope you. consume you, entice you. 
Let the candles burn your memories as the brick turns red with the warm thickness of blood.
I can feel the death. My eyes scream to the world of my wrong doing. What tis done tis done. It had to be so, for it is not my time to entice death with my presence.
The sun and the moon must remain together. And they shall.

Two friends becoming so obsessed with each other that they turn to outrageous resolutions in order to stay together is such a crazy, seemingly abstract idea to society. I can understand it to a certain degree, but not to the degree of murdering your mother to abstain from a potential separation! The murder scene was exorbitantly disturbing. After I watched it I ran downstairs and hugged my mom and stayed and sat next to her for a while and watched TV with her. Kate Winslet is so incredible. I loved her character, Juliet, in the movie, not including her insanity and murderous intent and stuff. She was just so exuberant and passionate about so many things and unapologetically herself. She was loud and bold and confident, and it was just so inspiring and intriguing to see this really smart, creative, and independent character take such drastic action in varying scenarios. I feel odd saying this, but I felt I could relate very much to Juliet (not the murderer part) in that she was so creative and unabashed and strong and passionate about things she cared about. She was so, so, so relatable and cool. Pauline... I don't know. It's funny, because Pauline scared me while Juliet was this incredibly intriguing character. Pauline was intriguing too, but I didn't relate to her as much.








world's greatest bitch face.

let's just take a moment to smell some daisies

Why are you stupid.

Fuck off.

Unimpressed.

My room is messy. I think it adds character to my bedroom. It's realistic too. The clutter in my room represents who I am: a person with a cluttered, jumbled mind who hoards things and collects stuff, and is obsessed with the prettiness of tiny pieces of paper she's found on the ground. I'm currently working on writing a letter to my penpal Katia. We bonded over blogging and Rookie and decided to partake in the ancient pass time of writing and sending mail to friends and acquaintances, i.e. each other.

UGH. These photos are semi-pixelated which is annoying. I can't tell if my camera is just really cruddy, or if it's because I cropped/zoomed them. I feel like it's both. 

I'm going to be a flower garden for Halloween! I'm pumped to the bone. 

I'm reading Hamlet by Chuck Norris in English. Wow just kidding it's written by William Shakespeare.

Let's just hope you knew that.

I went to my first Environmental Club meeting today! It was my first time going because it was the first time I remembered to go. It was really fun and everyone was super nice! We are doing some environmental related project right now, but I spaced out when they were explaining what it was so I don't really know what's going on.
