Goodbye My Almost Lover

I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye, my almost lover

Romeo & Juliet

As much as I love Shakespeare, let's be honest here!

Closer

Closer, by Patrick Marber, is my favourite play. It was also adapted for the big screen in 2004 and it became one of my favourite movie. One of my dream still remains to play Alice in a production of Closer. And I will one day, you'll see.

I love this play because it is the best and most accurate representation of love and sex and how completly confusing it can be. How love can be completly overly romanticized when really it comes down to hormones and timing. We can love many, but it all depends on who we CHOOSE to love and how. There's no such thing as a soul mate. But when you are in love, it's impossible to imagine ever being in love with anyone else.

Here's some of my favourite quotes:

Dan: What do you want ?
Alice: To be loved.
Dan: That simple ?
Alice: It's a big want

Larry:You women don't understand the territory, because you are the territory

Alice: Do you still fancy me?
Dan: Of course
Alice: You're lying. I've been you!

Alice: It's the only way to leave; I don't love you anymore, Goodbye
Dan: Supposing you do still love them?
Alice: You don't leave

Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy

This made me laugh a lot, as well as reminded me I complain way too much about things I take for granted!

I love 'it's going to SPACE!!'

Not Giving Up

After a heartbreak, it's easy to fall back on giving up. Giving up on caring,  opening up and being vulnerable. I certainly have. Everytime, i feel like I may become one of those jaded human beings who play games and aren't able to experience beautiful emotions fully. I do not want to be like that, but it's strangely appealing. But I feel if I protect my heart in that way, I will lose out on all the beautiful things it makes me experience. Because I live things fully, always. I don't half-ass, not when it comes to emotions and life experiences. And I try not to regret. It's hard, but I try. I hope I keep being the passionate wears-her-heart-on-her-sleeve girl. Although I also do hope the next deception will hurt less. Don't we all?

So this is me. Hoping to not give up. The same way I wish people wouldn't have given up on me.

Best Advice

Heidi: I was really falling in love with him...
Lauren: Don't fall in love

Brokeback Twilight

I'd see that!

Sleepless in Verdun

Sleep has left me alone to carry the weight of unravelling where we went wrong.
It's all I can do to hang on and keep me from falling into old familiar shoes

Contradictions

I’m a control freak, yet I let my heart guide all my decisions

I’m a jaded cynic, yet I’m a hopeless romantic

I’m a dreamer, yet I seek stability

I’m confident and insecure, I’m smart and naïve, I’m an optimistic pessimist

Blue Eyes

Blue eyes blue eyes i just want to love you
Hold you, squeeze you
Kiss you and touch you
Maybe thinking exactly what I'm thinking
You tell me you're not thinking what I'm thinking
I'm not trying to change you, I'm just trying to change your mind
Maybe if you knew then you'd change your mind about me, baby

Montreal

While I do dream of moving to California, I realize how great my hometown is!

I recently found this amazing video that overviews Montreal's best attractions:

Sleeping with Cats

One of my cat insists on sharing my pillow with me and most of the time, tries to lean half his weight on my head. I also often wake up with a cat sleeping on my leg or in between them, making it impossible for me to move!

Toronto Weekend

I spent my Easter weekend in Toronto visiting my bf's cousin. We got great weather and had such a great time! The food was sooo yummy!

We went to Hadley's our first morning. The food was great and the portions perfect. I would definately go again in my next Toronto visit! I ate the aragula eggs benedicts.

That night we ate at Foxley which is a great tapas bar. On the pricey side but everything was delicious, especially the bluecrab avocado salad and the sea scallops with jalapenos.

The next morning we treated ourselves to Boom, a breakfast joint that also had quite interesting choices, good taste and perfect portions. I got the California Spamelette (surprise, surprise!)

For dinner, we hit Golden Thai where I got some scallops in oyster sauce. It was a good restaurant, nothing fancy, nothing special. But we had a good time!

We also spent hours in the Trinity Bellwoods Park where we took in some sun, some Corronas and watched some dogs run around. I also got a sunburn and now look like a racoon! Thank you oversized sunglasses!
