When In the Woods........... by Shirley Manson
Darkling angels
I must face the truth. I am 43 years of age.
My mother is dead. (I can hardly believe I am writing that. My mum CAN’T be dead. It is NOT possible. She is too VAST in size and heft.)
I am not as pretty as i once was.
I have a dog called Veela I am MADLY in love with.
I have a fridge full of food.
I have a man in my life who is strong and handsome and smart and talented and PRESENT who happens to be madly in love with me.
I have a father who is grieving who is brave and kind.
I have two sisters who are beautiful and funny and lovely to their bones.
I have friends I have known since I was young and I have friends I have only just begun to love but I love them just the same and I need them the same way I need those I have know for years. i need their energy and their joy. And I want their love.
I have a few enemies but not many. I try not to make enemies. Life is too short for misery.
I love music. It makes me feel strong. I love music it makes me feel young. I love music it makes me feel connected. I love music it makes me indestructible.
I love loving.I love being reliable. I love being valiant. I love being dependable. I love being trust worthy. Amen.
Yeah.
To All That.

[N]one of it gets at what the “Twilight” series is actually about, which is being 17. It’s a time capsule to the breathless period when the world could literally end depending on whether your lab partner touched your hand, when every conversation was so agonizing and so thrilling (and the border between the two emotions was so thin), and your heart was bigger and more delicate than it is now, and everything was just so much more.
I know nothing about these books/films, but that is interesting.

I demand to know who is responsible for making Don Draper look like my father. Who did this?! Who did this!?!? You have ruined everything.
Wait’ll you see him on a Segway.
NO. Take these clothes off this man right now. (See what I did there?)

“Sirs: Was it necessary to show such suggestive and provocative photographs of Steve McQueen and his lovely wife…? I am no prude but your magazine is seen every week by our most important national asset, the teen-agers, and you are setting a bad example by displaying such photographs.” —a reader writing in about LIFE’s super-sexy photos showing McQueen at home, 1963 (ohnotheydidnt: Sexiest Men of the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s)

Diego, my love, Remember that once you finish the fresco we will be together forever once and for all, without arguments or anything, only to love one another. Behave yourself and do everything that Emmy Lou tells you. I adore you more than ever. Your girl, Frida (Write me) (via Letters of Note: Your girl, Frida)

I need never go on another TV or radio show and find that, however the discussion was described beforehand, what we’re really meant to talk about is how poetry is dead, or the novel is rubbish, or the short story is irrelevant. Fuck that, quite frankly. Really. Fuck that with vigour and from a strange direction.
