Present #1:
Meet Dominic,
Hes a 1965 Canon Canonet QL 25 which a friend of mine gave me for my 18th. he bought it off ebay and cleaned it up for me :) i dont really think i deserve it but you know, ive got it now and its beautiful. So naturally i named it and i think Dominic suits it perfectly.
Hes very pleased to meet you as well
I haven't taken anything with him yet because since hes film and im strapped for cash (i need all the money i can get as i am going to the uk on Gap next year)im waiting for the perfect photographic opportunity.
it will come soon im sure.
in the meantime, i have some more poetry for you.
Present #2:
enjoy,
I died for beauty but was scarce
Adjusted in the tomb,
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room.
Adjusted in the tomb,
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room.
He questioned softly why I failed?
"For beauty," I replied.
"And I for truth,--the two are one;
We brethren are," he said.
"For beauty," I replied.
"And I for truth,--the two are one;
We brethren are," he said.
And so, as kinsmen met a night,
We talked between the rooms,
Until the moss had reached our lips,
And covered up our names.
We talked between the rooms,
Until the moss had reached our lips,
And covered up our names.
- Emily Dickinson
I know this poem off by heart because we studied it at school, but all the analysis and pulling apart never lessened its beauty. Thankfully.
Present #3:
oh and i have a picture for you, i cant remember when i took it but at least i did. and it kinda matches the poem.
Present #4:
A rant by Sarah Hayes,
One of my ipod headphones is stuffed because some sand from when i went to the beach the other day got in and now its really muffled and crackly or something equally retarded and im so mad because the day i went to the beach was bad enough (absolute hell im not even kidding, remind me how much i hate the beach next time i say im going - there are a bazillion reasons why i hate the beach but the main one is the fact that i am about as pasty as they come so thats self explanatory ... yup) but now the crappness of the day is following me and ruined my music listening experience. wahhhhhhh.
oh and then as if that day wasn't bad enough i was reading (Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh if anyones wondering) at the train station (the super cool awesome space station that is north ryde ... im not surprised that u dont know of it lol because no one but me lives in ryde) and i dropped my beautiful book mark and didnt notice until the doors of the train had closed and i was staring out the lower window and there it was at eye level just limp on the floor and it looks so abandoned i could have cried. Do u think if i go back it might be in lost property or something .... heh?
But at least Animal Collective's Strawberry Jam is making me feel better :) quite possibly their best album. I suppose that can be your Present #5
- Oh My Good i nearly forgot! guess what? i got a haircut. its much shorter. MUCH MUCH shorter. looks better under hats in my opinion.
i keep forgetting about it cos the fronts as long as it always was so i dont even realise that all the hair from the backs gone. its like a long, shaggy bob now. i showed mum a picture of dom (tame impala dom) and was like 'does my hair look like this' and she was like 'umm', and then i put it partly over my face and she was like 'oh yeah it does!' YAY!
