I started writing. Then I stopped for a while.
I know, "Another social media random who's a WRITER. That's novel."
Not YET it isn't.

This is just something I'm trying. I will try not to repeat myself, which does mean I have to deface two books to keep track of everything. Yes, it will be the Scott Moncrieff translation because it is the most complete and I'm not learning French. Sorry.

This is adorable. I got a "refund" because I paid for free delivery for three months but ML shut down a couple days before the full three months were up.

I made a purchase online and now I'm getting the "we'd like to know what you think" emails from TrustPilot.
The irony being I don't fucking trust them, so I'm not telling them shit.

Acknowledging their fame is due to their fans all being raging alcoholics makes them a little cooler in my book, but they are still absolute shit.

It should have arrived last week, but it went from Victoria, to Queensland, before coming back to NSW today. And in extra special care on behalf of the store, it's in 'Joni Mitchell' tuning.

I just want to finish this course before anybody here finds out when it’s my birthday. Knowing my name is already far more information than I’d give these fuckers in any other situation.

Today we celebrated our friend’s birthday with a Komen fundraiser “paint n’ sip.” Despite being a graphic designer, I’ve never painted in my entire life, aside from grade school, so forgive my interpretation. Mine is first, the original sample work is second.

As I push the empty chair in to walk past for the fiftieth time, I agree, men fucking suck.
I’m pretty sure we are taught AS CHILDREN to push our chairs in when we’re not sitting in them.

It’s International Make-Up Day… again.
I dabble in face paint, but I think it still counts.
You’ve probably seen me, I’m the one who looks like “nah, that’s not him”.

I only picked these photos at random. I was looking for something where the counterparts were standing on the right side of each other. But the more I look at it, the more similar they all become.

I was perhaps in love with Albertine, but as I did not venture to let her see my love, although it existed in me, it could only be like an abstract truth, of no value until one has succeeded in checking it by experiment; as it was, it seemed to me unrealisable and outside the plane of life.

Had the truth been known, the Curé's visits gave my aunt no such ecstatic pleasure as Françoise supposed, and the air of jubilation with which she felt bound to illuminate her face whenever she had to announce his arrival, did not altogether correspond to what was felt by her invalid.

I was not, therefore, going to attempt another experience on the road which I had long known to lead nowhere. Impressions such as those which I was attempting to render permanent could only vanish at the contact of a direct enjoyment which was powerless to give birth to them.

Certain peculiarities of elocution, faint traces of which were to be found in Bergotte's conversation, were not exclusively his own; for when, later on, I came to know his brothers and sisters, I found those peculiarities much more accentuated in their speech.

During these hours, I used sometimes to see hover over her face, in her gaze, in her pout, in her smile, the reflection of those inward visions the contemplation of which made her on these evenings unlike her usual self, remote from me to whom they were denied.

The most important thing I learned last night was that I'm definitely not a size 24. The safety pin helped, but next time, belt loops.
