Poppy Darlin': June 2012

Saturday, June 9, 2012

It's been about a month or so since I completely destroyed my room in the Water pipe incident of 2012. But everything is back to normal now. After a very long makeover I know have a completely different room that I am in love with!

This is what my room looked like before I completely destroyed it and had to start all over.

And this is what it looks like now!

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

Inside the snow globe on my father’s desk, there was a penguin wearing a red-and-white-striped scarf. When I was little my father would pull me into his lap and reach for the snow globe. He would turn it over, letting all the snow collect on the top, then quickly invert it. The two of us watched the snow fall gently around the penguin. The penguin was alone in there, I thought, and I worried for him. When I told my father this, he said, “Don’t worry, Susie; he has a nice life. He’s trapped in a perfect world.

Rosemarie Urquico "Date A Girl Who Reads"

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lost her for a couple of house but she will always come back to you. She'll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale house and half-baked proposals, then you're better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.
