Note from the Universe

The top 10 things people claim to have taken for granted, Mykayla, when they were alive: 


10. How important they were to so many.
9. How easy life was when they stopped struggling.
8. That all of their prayers and thoughts were heard.
7. That there really were no coincidences.
6. How far ripples of their kindness actually spread.
5. What really was important: happiness, friends, love.
4. That any and all of their dreams could have come true.
3. How good looking and fun they always were.
2. How much guidance they received, whenever they asked for help.
1. That God was alive in everything, including themselves. 

As expressed by the recently departed, fresh after their life-review on the big, BIG screen. 

Ah-so, 
    The Universe

Being home is so strange. I know I’m going back to Cambridge for a few days tomorrow, but it’s such an odd sensation to be home. And staying at my dad’s nonetheless. I want to stay here for the summer. I can only hope this goes according to plan. 

Also.. this. Grover (acordialpursuit) and I tore it up this semester. We tried to incorporate a bunch of different hip hop and swing styles into our duet included improvisational solos. Yolo. This kid’s like my brother. Love him :) 

(I work in a Coffee Shop. I was on break in the lobby when a couple walks in. Directly behind them is a cute little boy in Batman costume.)
Me: “Oh my God! It’s BATMAN!”
(The boy stops, strikes a pose and starts looking around menacingly. After a few seconds, he approaches the counter.)
Mother: “Jeff, would you like a chocolate milk?”
Boy: “I am not Jeff. I am The Batman.”
Mother: “The Batman, would you like a chocolate milk?”
Boy: “Yes. Yes, The Batman would.”
(The couple pays while the boy sits down with his chocolate milk. He keeps a stern look on his face as he sips the drink.)
Boy: *sips* “Gotham is safe.”

Dress

Alexander McQueen 

Autumn/Winter 2006

The inspiration here is highly personal – the designer’s own heritage – which goes at least some way towards explaining the exquisite hand-craftsmanship that goes into each piece as well, of course, as bird head-dresses and McQueen tartan. The collection is luxurious and romantic but melancholic and even austere at the same time. The silhouette – all nipped waists, bustles and exaggerated hip lines – is designed to exaggerate a woman’s form and each piece is unique, a one-off couture creation with emotional content intended to be handed down from generation to generation like the most precious of heirlooms.
