I'm feeling a little like a paddington bear right now.

We'll bring gloves, hat and coat to the airport for you. It will most likely be somewhere around -20 to -30 when you are here. It's really funny when you fly in the little plane from Calgary, the air hostess will be wearing a parka and boots and will look like she is ready for an expedition to the north pole. Don't worry about bringing nice clothes, think warm and layers. People dress very casual here.

today
+ autumn colours - i really should've taken some typical orange and yellow photos as well
+ making walnut and banana bread (delia's recipe) and getting genuine 'mm this is soo good' from my housemates
+ emma on bbc1 - i love romala as emma! she's playing it more like how i imagine an emma than any other adaptations i've seen.
+ managing to stop myself from writing emo journal entries

- work tomorrow

- Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.

- No captions. It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words.

stereotypical
girl = flowers and horses

meme's are a good excuse to post to lj again.
i keep so many images.

edit: i tried to think as little as possible about that - i'm not trying to be ~deep~
over using the ~ symbol right now.

Your Journal is one of the only Journals I actually read, and really
like. It seems to be a speck of real in a storm of literary
pretentiousness and physical vanity, and the entries I like the best
are the ones where you write something, then delete it later, because
I find myself doing the exact same thing, or, I would do the exact
same thing, if I actually wrote in the first place, but I don't,
really, so blah.

- Anonymous comment from when I kept a journal

'In my first book all of the stories have to do with loss of one kind or another, a loss of life, a job, a home. I’ve always been interested in people who have gone through something, and maybe come out the other side not intact. It raises the issue of compensation, if compensation is possible. In the opening of the novella there’s this line about how things seem to matter less when your life has been tipped over and poured out. It’s just another way of saying that, that maybe you find it freeing to lose something. You don’t have to be so careful anymore. Instead of being more careful, you’re less careful.' - Amy Hempel
