Things I’ve always known but keep learning over and over again:
- The importance of having a catalogue of, at least, a handful of good eateries [from quasi-fancy restaurants you’d uncharacteristically wear perfume for, to unpretentious cafes that serve all-day breakfasts and day-old newspapers] in which you can dine solo untarnished by memories of past attendants
- Attempting to cut an already overripe pear with a blunt butter knife will result in perfectly tasty granules of fruit wasted on your plate

“
Most people would have found it grotesque, but when you’re in love nothing is so abstract or horrible that it can’t be thought of as cute.

This is awesome.
via tissie
surprise! we’re all the same.
I’m a little disturbed here because:
a) the penis looks like what you would get if Thing from the Addams Family and the alien from Alien had a baby, and
b) I’m imagining what it would taste like if you stuffed it with stuffing and roasted it.
the penis looks like it has little legs. and if i squint, the vagina looks like a one-eyed orangutan.

“
I imagine the feelings of two people meeting again after many years. In the past they spent some time together, and therefore they think they are linked by the same experience, the same recollections. The same recollections? That’s where the misunderstanding starts: they don’t have the same recollections; each of them retains two or three small scenes from the past, but each has his own; their recollections are not similar; they don’t intersect; and even in terms of quantity they are not comparable: one person remembers the other more than he is remembered; first because memory capacity varies among individuals, but also (this is more painful to admit) because they don’t hold the same importance for each other.

Nothing is worse than to finish a good shit, then reach over and find the toilet paper container empty. Even the most horrible human being on earth deserves to wipe his ass.

“
There are two kinds of love…in the safe kind you look for someone who’s exactly like you. It’s what most folks settle for. But then there’s the other kind of love. Everyone’s born with a ragged edge, and some folks crave that piece that’s a perfect fit. You’ll search for it forever, if you have to. And if you’re lucky enough to find it, it looks so right, you start to tear at your own seams, thinking, maybe I could look just as perfect. But then, of course, when you try to get close to their other half, you don’t fit anymore. That kind of love…you come out of it a different person than you were when you started.

I’m going to attempt
to make this my journal again instead of just reblogging images that make me lolz. Yeah, let’s see how that goes.
I lost the microSD card that housed 8 gigabytes worth of my stuff [including recent photos from my travels in Vietnam, Cambodia and Mexico that I failed to upload to my computer out of sheer laziness] and I’m trying to not be upset about it.
Most likely situation is that I carelessly ejected the thing from my old mobile phone, wrapped it up in an old receipt and hastily threw this into my bag while mentally stressing to myself that I was not to discard it. That was about two months ago, ample time for the adhesive bits of the Post-It notes slapped inside the walls of my skull to weaken. I’m pretty sure the mental Post-It note that says “Hey! Don’t throw away that neatly folded receipt! Your microSD card is nestled in its warm creases!” is lying somewhere next to several other “Hey! Your car parking ticket is wedged in your back pocket / in your back purse / underneath your dashmat!” notes in a messy pile in my head.
I’m trying to think about things from the point of view of “Hey! At least I’ve got all the memories in my head! It’s not like I can accidentally misplace my brain” which is offering me some relief, I guess, but I still hope that little piece of black plastic turns up somewhere.
And it’s not like they were even amazing photographs. I just wanted to be able to look at them and be like, “Oh yeah. I forgot about that. This poorly composed photograph doesn’t even capture a fraction of how beautiful Halong Bay was. And it was beautiful. And oh yeah, I kayaked for the first time despite being scared of large bodies of water because I don’t know how to swim for shit. And oh yeah, that lagoon.”
I guess I should start to back shit up more regularly.
