this blog is like a box of chocolates. I read a lot. I want tin can roses. I drink too much Lady Grey. I recite film lines to myself when I feel sad. I eat a lot of apple strudel. and this is my masterlist.
& i've left for a while. but why?

Bridget Jones: It’s only a diary. Everyone knows diaries are just… full of crap.
Mark Darcy: I know that. I was just buying you a new one. Time to make a new start, perhaps.
Fear, after all, is our real enemy. Fear is taking over our world. Fear is being used as a tool of manipulation in our society. Itʼs how politicians peddle policy and how Madison Avenue sells us things that we donʼt need. Think about it. The fear of being attacked, the fear that there are communists lurking around every corner, fear that some little Caribbean country that doesnʼt believe in our way of life poses a threat to us. Fear that black culture may take over the world. Fear of Elvis Presleyʼs hips. Actually, maybe that one is a real fear. Fear that our bad breath might ruin our friendships… Fear of growing old and being alone. A fear that we’re useless and no one cares what we have to say.
favourite films:
The King’s Speech (2010)
Director Tom Hooper makes an interesting decision with his sets and visuals. The movie is largely shot in interiors, and most of those spaces are long and narrow. That’s unusual in historical dramas, which emphasize sweep and majesty and so on. Here we have long corridors, a deep and narrow master control room for the BBC, rooms that seem peculiarly oblong. I suspect he may be evoking the narrow, constricting walls of Albert’s throat as he struggles to get words out. - Roger Ebert
favourite photoshoot of your all-time favourite actor (asked by followingthebloodsteps)
Bill Nighy & Colin Firth (among a bunch of others ‘cause I could never pick just one)
hey I just met you,
thus this is madness.
but here’s my petticoat,
now have my babies.
In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.
- Jane Austen
hey you, I like your face: Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy (this part 1) (part 2: x)
Don’t you think he’s the handsomest man you’ve ever seen, girls?
“My heart has been broken. I feel as if I’m sinking. Drowning. Can’t breathe.”
