SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT:

the earth is 4.6 billion years old. let's scale that to 46 years. we have been here for 4 hours. our industrial revolution began 1 minute ago. in that time, we have destroyed more than 50% of the world's forests.

CRAIGSLIST HOUSESHARE AD:

"i have a garden growing in my shower so you have to use eco-friendly hair products. you will see worms and other insects, and you will occasionally see a spider too but they all help out the ecosystem."

                                           i want a beautiful home one day where the walls are painted with pretty scenery. street art like on the right is so rare and beautiful and unique. i hope i can see something like it one day and touch it. i appreciate that kind of thing. also flowers are so wonderful, dead or alive, especially when in bouquets. i love when things overflow but are still attractive, like ruffles spilling out of the collar of a tight, long dress.

i watched loads of films last week: thumbelina, coney island, the blue bird (1918 & 1940) then valerie and her week of wonders. czech new wave and silent films are really cool, i plan to watch more some time. on saturday i went to my aunty's place and she had scented candles lit around the house and beautiful african art everywhere. today was really weird. i got a 5 minute detention because i sat on the floor in spanish lol. my art teacher is also very very worried about me and she's going to speak to my year head. i don't even know why. i hope she understands that i don't go out of my way to be so 'unresponsive' or anything. she said it's like i'm not even in the room. i keep wondering why there are no school counselors or anything, someone to just sit in silence with or ramble about everything to and they might not mind so much.

you can't choose what stays and what fades away

i just finished watching the help. it's a wonderful film oh my god it really made me cry. i didn't go to school today. i told my mum that my head hurts but i just didn't feel up to it at all. she stayed home as well, her back hurts a lot and we haven't done anything. we talked a little bit and decided that in the summer we'll go to this car boot sale near my aunty's house then maybe go strawberry picking afterwards with my brothers and cousins. :-) i'm not looking forward to school this week, i'm really not.

these photos are so lovely and kind of eerie. i don't know what to make of today. in art we drew shells and when i put one to my ear my friend told me it wasn't the sea i could hear but the blood rushing through my ear. i feel like a little kid who's just been told santa doesn't exist. over the weekend i went to nando's but i feel like i didn't eat enough and i want to go back. we were driving around hackney yesterday, in north and east london, and i really love it there. i saw a guy and a girl who looked really punk and cool and the girl wore these amazing creepers with quite a high platform and i want them. the town houses there are also wonderful to look at and i was so fascinated by them and their mismatched, dirty colours and pretty roofs and arched windows, which i couldn't help but stare through.

i downloaded sea oleena's two albums from here the other day and now i'm going to listen to one of them and write a letter to my suicidal friend who has me worried really bad. i feel unstable and nothing's certain. i know it never was but now i'm terribly, almost painfully aware of it.

i'll try to be cheerful this week. yesterday i fell in love with james franco so that should keep me going hehe. i love the colours in these photos, i think they should suit this time of year but it feels like winter right now. spring is on it's way but things are still kind of faded. reality is very grey so it's up to me to brighten my own world. it snowed in short, fast flurries several times today, on and off. last week i saw two closed daffodils then a couple of days later they had blossomed slightly and there were tiny raindrops on the tender petals. it was so pretty and so is sunday girl by blondie:

pretty 1950s teddy girl

today was kind of hard but these pictures are so nice and nice things make me go kind of weak. i wish i was one of the people who got a balloon today, maybe with a smiley face drawn on - i needed that. i was one of the people who said 'i love you' today so that's kind of nice. i need to get rid of my moody monday mentality somehow.
