Hi, I'm Manda. I currently live in Auckland, New Zealand, but dream of Paris, New York and London. I spend far too much time on the internet, and not enough time studying. I love taking photos, drinking coffee, Keira Knightley movies, graphic design, Zooey Deschanel, living in the city, spending the day in my pyjamas, Brothers & Sisters, my two cats, a good advertisement, cupcakes, Brand New, and my gorgeous boyfriend, Jared.

We need a witness to our lives. There’re a billion people on the planet, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things, all of it, all of the time, every day. You’re saying ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness’.

I'm looking for a nice way to say I'm out.

I want out.

“No, I don’t think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.” — Rhett Butler, Gone With The Wind

“No, I don’t think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.”

— Rhett Butler, Gone With The Wind

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
Douglas Adams
“San Francisco, summer 1969 — Doris & Don Fisher create GAP with the simple idea of ‘jeans and disc’, a place for everyone to find a great fitting pair of jeans. 40 years on, the GAP 1969 concept store in Kingly Court celebrates this heritage with a collection of exclusive denim styles, t-shirts, and designer collaborations. 69 units of each only. Each pair is packaged in a 12 Inch Gap 1969 record sleeve.”

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.

chainletter2: Here’s a photo of a group celebrating the prevention of gay marriage in Maine last night. Maybe it’s just because I’m in Canada but is it wrong that I think this is kind of funny? Old bitch in the front is literally on her knees because she’s so happy same-sex couples can’t be legally wed. That ginger mom wearing the scarf? She is so obviously pleased with herself. I guess what’s funny to me is that in, I dunno, ten years, once everyone gets over hating the gays, those self-satisfied smiles will seem so evil to everyone, the modest god-fearin’ clothes will look like a flimsy disguise, and these people will be remembered for the exact opposite of what they think they’re accomplishing. Savor those grins ladies, you don’t know it yet, but you’re history’s monsters.

I’m sorry for a lot of things, but most of all that I never got the chance to tell you that, no matter what happens next, I’ll never be anything but grateful for every moment I spent with you. And even though I keep fumbling for the right words, all I really wanted to say was thank you.
