Ideal Father/Husband/Person

"Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."
- Atticus Finch

summer + christmas = bloody excited.

Give Me Love.

Okay, so I'm in love with this ginger-haired boy who sings like nothing else.

Ed Sheeran, how do you do it?

His album '+' has been on repeat for a week now, and I don't think it's going to stop anytime soon.

best bit - "oh my my my, give me love, lover"

My new favourite poem.

THE ARCHIPELAGO of KISSES

We live in a modern society. Husbands and wives don’t

grow on trees, like in the old days. So where

does one find love? When you’re sixteen it’s easy,

like being unleashed with a credit card

in a department store of kisses. There’s the first kiss.

The sloppy kiss. The peck.

The sympathy kiss. The backseat smooch. The we

shouldn’t be doing this kiss. The but your lips

taste so good kiss. The bury me in an avalanche of tingles kiss.

The I wish you’d quit smoking kiss.

The I accept your apology, but you make me really mad

sometimes kiss. The I know

your tongue like the back of my hand kiss. As you get

older, kisses become scarce. You’ll be driving

home and see a damaged kiss on the side of the road,

with its purple thumb out. If you

were younger, you’d pull over, slide open the mouth’s

red door just to see how it fits. Oh where

does one find love? If you rub two glances, you get a smile.

Rub two smiles, you get a warm feeling.

Rub two warm feelings and presto-you have a kiss.

Now what? Don’t invite the kiss over

and answer the door in your underwear. It’ll get suspicious

and stare at your toes. Don’t water the kiss with whiskey.

It’ll turn bright pink and explode into a thousand luscious splinters,

but in the morning it’ll be ashamed and sneak out of

your body without saying good-bye,

and you’ll remember that kiss forever by all the little cuts it left

on the inside of your mouth. You must

nurture the kiss. Turn out the lights. Notice how it

illuminates the room. Hold it to your chest

and wonder if the sand inside hourglasses comes from a

special beach. Place it on the tongue’s pillow,

then look up the first recorded kiss in an encyclopedia: beneath

a Babylonian olive tree in 1200 B.C.

But one kiss levitates above all the others. The

intersection of function and desire. The I do kiss.

The I’ll love you through a brick wall kiss.

Even when I’m dead, I’ll swim through the Earth,

like a mermaid of the soil, just to be next to your bones.

Top 10 Movie Scenes.

Top 10 Movie Scenes

According to moi. In no particular order.

1) The Boat That Rocked - The scene where Harold and John sit down next to Young Carl and try and cheer him up with a cup of tea and Tim Tams. Young Carl doesn't eat them, so they dig into them themselves. It's bloody adorable!

2) Walk The Line - Johnny & June singing "It Ain't Be Babe". This song made me fall in love with the movie.

3) Almost Famous - The soundtrack to this film is damn good, but the best song in it is hands down "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John. The scene where they are all on the bus, and they start singing the song one by one, gives me chills. Absolutely love it.

4) P.S I Love You - The bar scene where Holly sees Gerry again by chance, and he's singing "Galway Girl". The way he sings the song is TDF, and the kiss at the end? Love it.

5) Love Actually - one of my all-time favourite christmas movies. Of all the amazing scenes in that film, this one is the best. Mark goes to Juliet's house and declares his love for her with cue cards. I love it because he doesn't expect her to leave her husband, and she doesn't. It's just perfect.

6) Stepmom - The epic lipsync to "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Little Ben's dance moves are adorable! Plus, I love the way Jena's character says "I'm sorry you're sick". It's beautiful. This scene really tickles my fancy because it's something me and my family would do.

7) Before Sunset - the conversations in this movie are fantastic. I really love the simplicity of them; they're so real and convincing, you'd believe this was just a normal everyday couple. I love them. Here's a scene where Celine pretends to call her friend and Jesse plays along. "I think that's when I fell for him. The idea of this little boy with all these beautiful dreams."

8) Wayne's World - Wayne, Garth and their rocker buddies (and Phil, can't forget Phil) sing along to Bohemian Rhapsody. Pretty damn cool.

9) Forrest Gump - The scene where he visits Jenny's grave. "Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time. I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away."

10) Home Alone - Kevin plays the film Angels With Filthy Souls and scares people off. I always use the quotes "Leave it on the door step and get the hell out of here" and "You filthy animal!" in everyday life.
