Every now and then
you hesitate with, “I’m not the type who’d think/say/do this.”
But people don’t fit in pre-made boxes. We are creators all, and we customize and customize.

Stranger than fairytales
I believe more in the possibility of being spirited away by faeries than of being in (reciprocated) love. And there’s something seriously screwed-up about that.
It’s not that I don’t believe in love anymore. I do. (My belief system is otherworldly. I even believe in the impossible wholeheartedly.) But I believe in love with the same conviction I have when believing that my favorite works of...

A Lesson in Italian by Yours Truly
I am fantastic at Italian translation. It doesn’t matter that I don’t even speak the language- give me a phrase in Italian and I’ll tell you what it means. Today’s Italian lesson comes from the songs of Ennio Morricone. My playlist is full of his music at the moment and I thought it only fit that I should know what I’m listening to. So I translated some of the titles of his movie themes in...

There's a hopeless romantic
in there somewhere. It’s just hard to recognize her, because she’s in mismatched shoes and a funny hat. But she comes up for air at times like these- when all i have for company are beautiful music and delicious thoughts.
Speaking of which, these songs are like places you could get lost in. Willingly. The scenery is out of this world.

Celtic God of the Day: AONGHUS
AONGHUS: God of Love, the Celtic answer to CUPID.
As a love child of DAGDA and BOANN he carried on the tradition to become a love God, learning to play the harp and lulling the ladies with his smoochy lyrics. To sustain his reputation as a Romantic Rascal he ran off with ETAIN the wife of his stepbrother MIDIR. Pursuing the loves and doves side, four of these lovebirds were often to be seen...

“Mahatma Gandhi on Homosexuality”
suicideblonde:
Two gay Englishmen came to Gandhi in the 1930s and asked him what he thought of their relationship.
The Mahatma asked some questions and for a short time fell silent.
Then he said, “The greatest gift God gives us is another person to love.”
Placing the hands of each man in the other’s, he quietly and with a smile asked, “Who are we to question God’s choice?”

I Am Incredibly Malleable

veilsandsmoke:
is my mantra for when I’m doing vocal drills, ballet stretching and yoga.
Good one, Squeak. Mine can be “I have no bones.” :D
LOL, Squeak. =P Is there really bacon and eggs cooking in the kitchen? SWOOSH!
I just noticed the “vocal drills” part. In that case, my mantra is simply “Meow”. And yes, the bacon-and-eggs...

Being random
is what I feel like being today. Might have to do with my double dose of coffee (which tasted terrible, by the way) and the fact that my to-do list for today is longer than usual. Strangely enough, I seem to really be enjoying my work. I mean, who wouldn’t when there’s bacon and eggs cooking in the kitchen?
So in between facilitating exams and giving job interviews, i’ll be...

I’m considering having a phrase or a few lines in Irish Gaelic tattooed on my foot but haven’t found the perfect one. Any suggestions?

Burlesque
is my tumblr theme of the day. None of these are my own work, but I’ve selected a few pictures from deviantart that really capture the old-fashioned glamour, allure and femininity of a burlesque lady. Enjoy!

The Name of the Rose, the Noodle, and the...
I haven’t quite gotten over the what-to-name-your-baby frame of mind yet. Not that I’m expecting or anything- I just think that a name is a powerful thing and that naming should never be rushed. They are the permanent legacies we offer our children, and after all, we have entire lives, fantasies and troves of experiences to draw them from.
Aesthetically, I like boys’ names that...
