we belong together

we like to repeat ourselves. i am okay with this as long as we wear sassy blazers while doing it. pat got it covered. lou diamond + mariah girl, take note.

"we belong together," by los lobos, as performed by lou diamond phillips in la bamba (1987)

"we belong together," mariah carey (2005)

"we belong," pat benatar (1984)

i've started recording myself whispering greeting-card size melodies. this is kind of a big step, considering that recording technology really terrifies me. today i sat down with a cup of tea + mumbled a mini clip of the los lobos song featured above. i've been advised by a couple of lovelies to "sing out!" but i'm so in love with technological fuzziness, sonic versions of dust + cobwebs, that i don't know if i could ever swiffer those sounds out.

somebody hit the light, part 56,634.2300314

13/4: pretty is boring. that place on my chest where my heart
used to be, sings a sad note when i see "pretty," because
i've moved on. it's not enough to be pretty, you have to
be interesting, and interesting means a lot of different
things to a lot of different people.

(768) 345 - 2465: i'm attracted to masculinity in a sense that
i am attracted to strength and stylistic vigor, as opposed
to flippant, soft, or fashionable vulnerability. strive
for might and commitment to an idea and you can't go
wrong.

-34,211, 123: i'd rather give too much than not enough,
which is probably why i'm always sweating, but at least
i'm not shivering.

the best thing about winter flurries

+ wind chills, are the long undies.

hold

another sound scratch.
wandering in the woodlands. leaves + wayward twiglets
crack underneath your feet. suddenly you hear a melody
in the distance but can't quite make it out.

i only

left the house once today + it was to buy a candy bar.

harvey stripes

my coat looks like it was cut by steve harvey's hot-topic
obsessed kid sister, but i just couldn't help myself.
this piece has been sleeping with my closet full of sequins,
waiting very patiently all season. it goes in that
"wear absolutely everything that you own all at the same
time" category.
