No one belongs here more than you
So I am in love.
Ok, not really.
But lovely freaked out by relateableness. (if that is even a word?)
"No one belongs here more than you", by Miranda July is one of the most resplendent collections of short stories i've ever read. My sister Ags, (whom i btw share this perfect blog with) Yes.. I just used the word "whom", I'm a sticker for grammar. Anyway, she gave me this for my birthday. I can not even begin to explain how amazed I am for how well she knows me. Nobody really knows me, and for her to have given me this book that is ridiculously, randomly, unexplanably like myself, is simply amazing.
So back to the book.
July's stories startle me at every turn, sometimes by their sexual frankness, sometimes by passages of impossibly lush eloquence and very often by their sheer inventiveness. There's a whimsical, dreamlike quality to her writing. She has an understanding of human truths and an extraordinary honesty about our wish for acceptance. Miranda July's is a beautiful, odd, original voice - seductive, sometimes erotic and a little creepy too. Who will her work appeal to? To borrow the name of her lovely first film, "Me and You and Everyone We Know".
Here's a part from my favourite shorty so far, "The shared patio".
Vincent has a wife named Helena. She is Greek with blonde hair. It's dyed. I was going to be polite and not mention that is was dyed, but I really don't think she cares if anyone knows. In fact, I think she is going for the dyed look, with the roots showing. What if she and I were close friends. What if I borrowed her clothes and she said, that looks better on you, you shoulk keep it. What if she called me in tears, and I had to come over and soothe her in the kitchen, and Vincent tried to come into the kitchen and we said, Stay out, this is girl talk! I saw something like that happen on TV; these two women were talking about some stolen underwear and a man came in and they said, Stay out, this is girl talk! One reason Helena and I would never be close friends is that I am about half as tall as she. People tend to stick to their own size group because it's easier on the neck. Unless they are romantically involved, in which case the size difference is sexy. It means: I am willing to go the distance for you.
There are tonns of more paragraphs i would like to share, but I'll save them for a rainy day.
Well, it's 9pm and the sun is still hott hott hott, so I am off to the harbour for some wine with a girlfriend. I just managed to get a papercut on my left hand knuckles, and it stings pretty bad. But patch it up and off i ride my bike.

American girl in Italy
When i was little my mom and dad always brought me along to visit their friends, a german couple. I remember finding it so boring there, because they didn't have any kids of their own i could play with. Of course, things that are boring, you tend to forget pretty fast. So naturally, i couldn't remember much from the days at their house. Untill a couple of days ago when i came across this picture. I haven't seen this since i was ten, but it made me remember! The german couple had this on the wall, and i can remember how fantastic i thought it was.. so yea.. wonderful.
Wonder what she's thinking..

Rubickubism
This is really funny. I get amased at what people do with their time. I wish i had the patience to do this all day, everyday. Preferably in the sun with some good friends, the smell of some barbeque in the air and some good tunes playing in the background. I think i found my new hobby!
Check this site for more rubik artworks.

don't let the bedbugs bite you..
That special dude.
I want to meet a nice guy. A guy that could take me out for a drive on the English countryside, like Rupert Grint in driving lessons.. A guy that would fly me and my girlfriends for croissants in Paris. A guy that kisses slowly but with a firm touch. A guy that could make me tapas in the middle of the night, if i got the cravings. I wish he could take me to NYC and show me all sorts of wonderful things. Basically.. A guy that buys me Vogue every month, cause he knows i love it..
I wish i could meet a guy tht could help me with stuff. Like changing the flat wheel on my bike, learn me spanish or just lite my cigarette when im nervous. Basically.. A guy that could learn me how to use my camera..
I want to meet a guy that is confident but not cocky. A guy with kind eyes and that drives a motorcycle. He has to be nice to my parents and sweet with my friends. A guy that speaks french and has that mad swag. A guy that could watch sex and the city with me in the mornings when i'm off from work. I wish i had a guy that looked at me in that special way when i'm drunk and have fun with my friends. Basically.. A guy that takes of my heels when im too drunk after a long night, and carries me home..
If you know this guy.. Hook me up. I want 'Dinner and a movie' by Cool Calm Pete.

Factorygirl
"I am at a party at the Dakota, a gothic mountain of a building on Central Park West. Everybody is here, trying to get hip, trying to get high. Andy Warhol is here in his silver cocoon of aphasia and passivity. The ususal drone of coctail party chatter, "eight days a week" playing soflty in the background. Suddenly, a strange girl in black tights, striped t-shirt and giant earrings enters the room. With her odd birdlike gait, she twirls into the very center of the room and remains there, simply... twirling. Edie."
I got this, amongst 4 other books from Ags for my birthday this month and I am simply in love with it. I am in love with HER. Her and every inch of her tragic yet highly intriguing story. It is'nt simply that she is "a beauty", she radiates. I never want it to end.
I wish i lived in the mid 60's. I'd run around in black leotards, huge fur coats, shoddy eye make-up, heavy jewellery with a constant cigarette between my fingers, kicking it with Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan and being photographed by Nat Finkelstein.
(I would probly also be a luxury-junkie and ball half the dudes in town for a snort whenever i ran short.) But that's a whole other story.
thankyou.

Can i just be so frank..
This is written by someone i really like. I have hopes and dreams for this person, and the weirdest part is that everything she writes, I can relate to.. Shit is just so random.. Hope u get published some day honey, no one would deserve it more than you. -Ags. (Don't hate me for posting this.)
..this perticular morning
this morning I woke up still tipsy from last night.
this morning i forgot to wash my face.
this morning, i stumbled out of my bed and to work while it was still night.
this morning i waited for the sun to rise with a cigarette jammed between my lips. smoke mixed and flirted with the fog untill i could'nt separate nature from habit.
this morning i noticed that at that moment before dawn, even though the sky is dark, it does'nt quite feel the same as night.
maybe it's the way birds can't yet see, but they still sing.
this morning i passed a stripper getting off work. her back was bent, her head down as she ran her acrylic fingers through a stash of last nights earnings. (okay, not really)
this morning i got attacked by 8 lesbians. (okay, not really again)
Anyway,
this morning i finally figured out what the sun is all about.
...
i wanna go somewhere with someone.
i don't know where, and i don't know with whom.
photo fashion sexy
