"for each of them secrets something that is not to be found in another..."

As to the pretty girls who went past, from the day on which I had first known that their cheeks could be kissed, I had become curious about their souls. And the universe had appeared to me more interesting.

And then he came back to the question whether this was, in fact, a nice girl. Would a nice girl, even allowing for her being a little American flirt, make rendezvous with a presumably low-lived foreigner? The rendezvous in this case, indeed, had been in broad daylight, and in the most crowded corner of Rome; but was it not impossible to regard the choice of these circumstances as a proof of extreme cynicism?

Henry James - Daisy Miller

baby bird mama's birthday girl looks damn fine
we bury our hatchets in bottles and powders
lingerie and dancing
we get fucked up and slither around
to celebrate us
together
young and alive
if only just barely
for tonight
that glorious
only

tea parties

today we celebrate these things

congrats, girl. job well done!
xoxo

waking: 'oh you look so beautiful!'
lara hides her face. morning burns through the venetians and grey tulle makeshift valence.
'no, you do! your hair, and the light and sheets - it's like the moment people fall in love in movies.'

way to live

before sleep, delete all but the most essential kernels of memory, so that in the morning history is gone. wake up free.

assume whatever theme or character desired; there will no obligation for day-to-day consistency, as only essentials nestle in after surviving nightly deletion and dictate aesthetics from within. the rest is chaff and easily changed.

"i am what i am because i say that i am": infinite possibilities lie within this mindset; being and becoming cleave together. perfect it.

make firm decisions; all circumstances can be broken down to 'yes or no' criteria, choose one or the other, with honesty and realism.

be discerning, cautious and observant; decide accordingly.

protect yourself, trust initial instincts.

be passionate selectivity, with abandon and whenever possible; recognize connection on essential levels. this is rare.

reflect.

go to great lengths for important things. constantly evaluate what that means; have foresight and wisdom followed by decisive action.

look forward.

"You mustn't give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get, until they're strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree and then to the sky."

score

caesar salads: undefeated at 2 victories of significant note (which analysts strongly argue to be defaults and therefore completely underwhelming). scandal broke out at a pivotal midyear game when after a dispute, a tie was issued as some key players were rumored to be moonlighting for the softball team. although it's obvious in those alarmingly square shoulders and mousey ponytails, evidence has not been conclusive as of yet. the caeser salads continue to use numbers to their advantage and seem to be infinitely replaceable, with no standouts thus far. no team representation could be reached for a quote, but some insiders watching early practices have said of the team everything from "yawn." to "ew, seriously?" forecasters speculate the caeser salads seem to be in the safe zone as of now, but that their continually simplistic and straight-forward strategy will cost them as major defeats in the future. you go, cosmo-girls.

vs

wildcats: 0, all teams having choked at critical for-keeps points in the season in a disappointing streak, "heartbreaking," according to fans. morale is rallying, however, and the wildcats are currently scoping out rookies for fall league with most of the senior roster having taken the summer off to pursue other interests. a spokesperson for the team has reiterated for us the complexity of the wildcat playbook, with strong emphasis on artistry and the personal development of their star players in a quality-over-doormat strategy. "many are indimidated by the rigourous demands of the wildcats and many potentials drop out during training, but our league is extremely elite and continutes to foster some incrdible talent." "and no uglies allowed," team managers f. scott and uncle karl pointed out in a recent interview. rumor has it the wildcats have never been in better or more tanned form and look forward to a strong showing-off. how do they do it with all that jewelery? and in heels no less, the bitches are back.
