He took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them, one by one, before us, shirts of sheer linen and thick silk and fine flannel, which lost their folds as they fell and covered the table in many-colored disarray. While we admired he brought more and the soft rich heap mounted higher — shirts with stripes and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple-green and lavender and faint orange, and monograms of Indian blue. Suddenly, with a strained sound, Daisy bent her head into the shirts and began to cry stormily.
“They’re such beautiful shirts,” she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds. “It makes me sad because I’ve never seen such — such beautiful shirts before.”
The Great Gatsby….cannot wait for this movie.

"The formula I’ve figured out: Stop being so damn picky and let go of the mental image of an ideal; talk to more strangers, because it builds confidence and helps you feel connected; be open to every opportunity, and when you do meet someone you like, keep dating around. And then there’s the mother of all lessons—the one I’m still working on: follow your instincts and even if you’re wrong about him (or her), you’ll know better for the next time.
Oh, and always wear lip gloss and blush when you leave the house because, really, you never know."

"I realized these were all the snapshots which our children would look at someday with wonder, thinking their parents had lived smooth, well-ordered lives and got up in the morning to walk proudly on the sidewalks of life, never dreaming the raggedy madness and riot of our actual lives, our actual night, the hell of it, the senseless emptiness."
— Jack Kerouac, On the Road

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
My breaking heart and I agree,
That you and I could never be.
So with my best…my very best,
I set you free.
I wish you bluebirds in the spring,
To give your heart a song to sing.
But most of all,
When snowflakes fall….
I wish you love.

Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the 60’s. Or maybe I was just a girl… interrupted.

"Tom: Look, we don’t have to put a label on it. That’s fine. I get it. But, you know, I just… I need some consistency.
Summer: I know.
Tom: I need to know that you’re not gonna wake up in the morning and feel differently.
Summer: And I can’t give you that. Nobody can."

Summer: Nothing’s going on. We’re just friends….
Tom: No! Don’t pull that with me! Don’t even try to….this is not how you treat your friend! Kissing in the copy room? Holding hands in IKEA? Shower sex? Come on! Friends my balls!
Summer: I like you Tom….I just don’t want a relationsh—
Tom: Well you’re not the only one who gets a say in this! I do too! And I say we’re a couple, dammit.
