Looks like morning in your imaginary eyes

norah jones' "sunrise" is a great song to wake up to when you've just had the worst dream ever. even though my favorite bracelet broke, and i had a nightmare, this song is continuously making me happy throughout the day. and so i guess i'll talk about something that always makes me happy.

when you're used to seeing someone or atleast knowing that they're 45 minutes away with the subway, it's hard to just get up and leave for a month and a half. but at the same time, it's good. you begin to appreciate all the things they are.
smart, creative, funny, kind etc.
you also begin to daydream about all the adventures you'd like to go on with them.
a.jumping off bridges
b. running through the fairytale-like forests
c. tasting random foods
you also begin to appreciate all the things you have to look forward to with them.
you listen to the songs that you want to dance with them to.
you close your eyes and imagine them laying down right next to you.
and soon enough it's only two weeks until you can really have them again.
well that's atleast what i do.



Can this chick be any more beautiful?

c'est la vie



went to the theatre to go see hitchcock's "north by northwest" yesterday. banging.
i've got to say, there has yet to be an actor with more charm than cary grant.
his voice, style, posture prove this true.



Eve Kendall: I tipped the steward five dollars to seat you here if you should come in.
Roger Thornhill: Is that a proposition?
Eve Kendall: I never discuss love on an empty stomach.

zoo, cheese sandwiches, swiss german children's music, and sun showers.

swiss cheese

i'm currently sitting in the guest room of my grandparents house. it's beautiful. simple, quiet, and relaxing. exactly what a vacation should be. i've had luck up to now with the weather as well. not only is it sunny everyday, but at night it cools down. exactly how i like it. i've been spending time with my godmother, my mom's best friend since she was 6. today we drove up into the mountains to go swim in a man-made lake. it was breathtakingly beautiful. i've realized that this year, out of all the other years that i've visited my mother's homeland, i've really been able to appreciate the beauty of it. everyday, in the middle of the city, i can jump in anywhere i want, into the zurich lake, and swim. that's how clean the water is here! if i did that in the east river, i'd come out hiv positive. but this post was not supposed to just be a summary of what i've been doing. i just wanted to mention, or maybe remind myself, to just let go and live. although i'm miles and miles away from my home, i can't stop my mind from acting as if i'm still there. the same things that stress me out, make me mad, make me uncomfortable, still keep creepin' up on me. i just need to let go and grow away from everything i'm used to. take in the fresh swiss air, and relax. be happy and realize what really matters. i hope everyone that reads this is doing that as well. think about what you really want out of life, and go out and get it.

this is really bizarre. but sometimes when i'm using the downstairs bathroom at my boyfriend's house i read his superhero guidebook. i always flip through looking for the coolest super heroine. i read their descriptions and try to find one that really fits my personality and lifestyle. still haven't found one yet.

okay, that's all.

goodnight, sol
