Kodak Agonistes: I Will Not Marry You →
kodistes:
because I frighten easily because I was born once bitten unready for love and because your head is too small for your body and your nose somewhat big for your face and because when you speak a touch of Quechua all the brown eyes in the street roll sideways because you could throw a six at…

I’m not much for gifts that I don’t really want or need, I’d much rather have something useful and meaningful. And quite frankly, I actually think the whole gift giving thing is kind of overrated. Why can’t we just do nice things for each other instead? However, I can’t really argue with gifts like gin and the Big Bang Theory :) The best part though, is that my family...

On My Wick
kodistes:
Just sitting in your kitchen with coffee and knowing secretly that all these thoughts are mine. I mean they’re all my own, no one else’s, which is good and therefore must be immortalised and forever emblazoned and not allowed to be extinguished like sad old candles. These are the thoughts I have when you’re still asleep, when you’re not here and I’m alone. And they are so big and heavy...

Everyone is black friday shopping
but I’m job searching and working on a cv! Haha, priorities right?
Also, why have I been wished Merry Christmas twice already? I mean, I know it’s the holiday season, but the day after Thanksgiving is a jumping the gun a little!

Solvang CA - Official Travel Resource for Solvang,... →
Tucked into the Santa Ynez Valley in California is a little town named Solvang. From what I’ve gathered via the internet (read wiki), it’s a small community that has Danish roots which can be evidenced from its architecture to its multitude of Danish shops (haha!). Even members of Danish royalty have visited here when stopping in the States! Road trip?

I’m coming down with a cold. So! I will sit in bed all day watching movies, writing letters and eating chocolate. I would call that a win.

Encore Break
kodistes:
get yourself some wheels and drive it all the way to the nearest body of water and have your favorite drink ready AND sip it and make sure the music’s on and the sun is out and you’re alone east of wherever you call home now.
the first time i saw you i knew you would lay me to waste someday. so have one more smoke and be tired and think of me, of him, of them or it. settle...
