Typical

I want to get lost here forever.
Indulgences: saw Lily Elise from "the voice" at ikea, spending money on fooddd, being honest with my opinions(sometimes), pizookie, watching too many movies this summer, wasting my life away at home, not keeping my promises to myself, listening to coffee break french on my way to work
Desir: an amazing apartment without the stress of making it one, the virtue of hard work, the feeling of accomplishment, confidence, blind faith, more honestly good people, more conservativeness, perfect grammar, eloquence, better manners, less typical activities, for acne to go away, more nail polish, the ability to make the long wavy bob, less complaining, more skills and hobbies, for next year to go greatly, to complete diy projects, maturity
Ecouter: Let go by Frou Frou, Runaway Baby by bruno mars, Heavy in your Arms by Florence and the Machine, Wonderful World by James Morrison, Who You Are by Jessie J, Skin and Bones by David Roch
Amour: unwinding at night to a nice cup of tea; driving while the windows are down w/ wind through my hair, blasting soothing music, singing, feeling the wind push back on my hand and smelling the fresh air of pv; how the night makes everything better, how when you hang out with people at night (in comparison to day) that you get more raw emotions and real talks, dinner etiquette, really satisfying hugs, closure, midnight in Paris, diy projects, levitating girl,

I realized that the etiquette of Americans is getting more and more atrocious.  I remember I was sitting somewhere and was craving something sweet.  And I saw a couple eating ice cream together and was just sort of.. repulsed?  It definitely killed my craving.  But i mean, I totally understand, eating can be a gross looking thing. I myself look hideous while eating. it's just the WAY, though, that they were eating that made it seem.. displeasing. When i sit in restaurants nowadays, i notice myself people watching. (esp with my sister b/c she's a HUGE people watcher). I must admit, sometimes (a lot of times) I'm at fault for these too. but i notice how absolutely NO one is sitting up straight. the straightest i saw anyone sitting was from a LITTLE GIRL.  Another thing that slightly irritates me: when people don't use knives.  I must admit, sometimes I'm at fault for this one too. There's a piece of chicken that's too big to fit into your mouth. you're too lazy and just resolve to trying to cut it with the edge of your fork or just stab the entire thing and take bites into it.  I'm not sure why but these just kind if err me now.  ESP the former action.  I feel that Americans in general are just incredibly... American. and it's definitely a bad thing if you can name a type of person and you think of terrible associations.
whenever people think of Americans, they think of: obese, bad mannered, uncultured, unintelligent, ignorant, lazy people.
ehh.

I feel as if i belong to a different time/era.  I saw midnight in Paris a bit recently ish and feel similar to the main character.  Wishing of being in a different time and in a different place.  Although I realize that the end result is that people will always be wishing to be in a different time/place and instead we should be content and make the best of what's in front of us; I can't help but still dream of something different.  I'm not sure when or where exactly, but just not here nor now.

that's it for now.
Adeiu,
