The B Side to Your A Side

So why the lovely ladies?

Because I am so envious of their hair! I wish mine was that long! Ugh, and I have so long to wait. If I'm lucky, it will be reaching that point at the end of senior year. Ah well, I am patient.

So mid-winter break has officially started for me, although it hasn't exactly been an "off-with-a-bang" kind of situation, really. Last night was pretty lazy--I went and watched the opening ceremonies at Tom's house (my opinion on the ceremony: I loved the orcas, but was confused by the plaid riverdancing fiddle guys). There was some VERY notable oo-er action later that I need to tell y'all about, as well ;)

I am so excited for the games!
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, which I am obviously spending with Tom. But I wanted to give you guys a little something. The young lad above is specifically for C (I hope you like him! He reminded me of you) but don't despair, A and S, I have a whole archive for you. Open up this website and rejoice in knowing that Singles Awareness Day doesn't come every year :)

What, you may ask, am I planning to do on Valentine's Day? No idea. Not a clue. Tom, apparently, has been asking my friends what I am planning (I'm supposed to plan something?) but every time I try to bring it up with him he changes the subject. Ugh! Boys boys boys.


I want to watch ridiculously romantic movies now. My favorites movie couples include those in Titanic, 500 Days of Summer, 10 Things I Hate About You, Pretty and Pink (Duckie, not that other loser) and, of course, The Notebook. God, my chest gets all tight whenever Noah and Allie interact. Ah! They're so adorable! S, did you ever see Dear John? Maybe you, C, A if he want to, and I should take a trip to the movies and see it?

Speaking of romance, I was talking to my mom yesterday--and she told me love doesn't exist. And before you get all up in arms, it wasn't actually that blasphemous and she had an interesting point. She said that it takes a strong conscious decision to stay in love, or stay out of love. It sort of brought up another topic that I'm always switching sides on--fate, or free will in terms of relationships and love? What are your opinions?

My last question (after best movie couple, free will or fate, can we see dear john together and whatever else I asked y'all in this post) is...what is the best love song? I had a tricky time trying to even narrow it down. The song I want to dance to at my wedding is 'Octopus's Garden' by the Beatles, and other than that it changes depending on my mood.

My vote today goes to this Dylan song (he is quite fit, isn't he S?)

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
"You look like the silent type."
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.
