best day of my life. can I please go back? I need that day more than ever. if I can’t go back in time to fix my mistakes then can I please just go back to relive the best decision I ever made?
oh, and that’s May 2nd, not Febuary 5th, you crazy Americans.
So what if your friends think I'm crazy? Well, I...
Recently I have been over-thinking, over-reacting and over-identifying with Dashboard Confessional songs from years ago. I wish that, just this once, I was able to like something (someone) a regular amount without wanting it (him) so much that it ruins my life. Or that I had a time machine and could go back and do everything different. The biggest problem is that it’s just such an awkward...

One last (belated) new year's resolution:
- read one new (as in new to me) book per week.
I need to start a list so that I can make sure that I even out to at least fifty new books read by the end of the year.
Things that I love:
- my friend’s flight home being the one that wasn’t cancelled.
- quiet days at work but only when my favourites are in. which they were. and are again tomorrow - 9:30am starts feel a lot easier that way.
- my job. writing book reviews, sticking stickers to things and then spending the rest of the day winding up the boy I have a bit of a crush on, hanging out with my favourite girl...
Photos I'm sick of seeing.

Not for another month, sorry to say. Writing the date: you’re doing it wrong. I love you Americans all the same, though.

I tweeted earlier to say that buying a book is one of the most satisfying things in the world. I agree with this so much.
