sunday's story...monday's not too late...

joel: Hi.
clementine: Hi. Didn't figure you'd show your face around me again. I guess I thought you were...humiliated. You did run away, after all.
joel: I just needed to see you.
clementine: Yeah?
joel: I'd like to, um...take you out, or something.
clementine: You're married.
joel: Not yet, not married. No, I'm not married.
clementine: Look man, I'm telling you right off the bat, I'm high maintenance, so...I'm not gonna tip-toe around your marriage, or whatever it is you've got goin' there. If you wanna be with me, you're with me.
joel: Okay.
clementine: Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked up girl who's looking for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours.
joel: I remember that speech really well.
clementine: I had you pegged, didn't I?
joel: You had the whole human race pegged.
clementine: Hmm. Probably.
joel: I still thought you were gonna save my life... even after that.
clementine: Ohhh...I know.
joel: It would be different, if we could just give it another go-round.
clementine: Remember me. Try your best; maybe we can.

Since I haven't been feeling super great lately, I've spent most of my time becoming bff's with Netflix, finally getting to catch up on True Blood, and making some hair accessories (not like I needed any more!).

my cow's!!!...okaaaay, not MINE

 

Last Friday we went went beer tasting in Portland then took a train ride to the fair in Hillsboro. I should have taken more photos of the actual fair but it was all the usuals; rides, some shopping, food, etc. My favorite part of any fair are the barn animals, well mostly just the cows! The most exciting part...there were no fences or barriers between us and these beauties! *Ah, how cuddly!*

sunday's story...

 just a few pieces from "how do you think it feels?":
" In my dream, I felt something uncurling inside me, something moving and changing. The cold of stone, a lifetime of darkness. A rending, and a ripping, as if my heart were breaking; a moment of utter pain. Blackness and strangeness and blood. ...the crack in my chest healed, knit and mended, and the cold hand vanished for good. I felt my eyes closing once more. I was tired, and I swam back into the comforting, sake-flavored dark. ...I wonder if I shall ever see her again, and I realize that I scarcely care. I can feel the sheets beneath me, and the cold air on my chest. I feel fine. I feel absolutely fine.
I feel nothing at all."

inspiration for the story...
"Gargoyles, it occurred to me, were placed upon churches and cathedrals to protect them. I wondered if a gargoyle could be placed on something else to protect it. Such as, for example, a heart..."
