People will see a movie starring 3 women who go on an adventure full of heart and of laughs, and then be like, "wait why isn't chris pratt making one-liners? this one is about females? 2 stars."

My favourite line from asteroid city: "I often wonder if I should wish I had children"

[specsbecs]

a good friend told me today

toxic friendship is just as harmful

as a toxic romantic relationship

we don't deserve either

and I bid farewell to those that do me harm

the second child

for the elder to have a playmate.

a last minute invite

so the ticket is used.

the haunting echoes of

"did you want to come too?"

[specsbecs]

They were never really her friends

Convenient, close by, would invite her if it occurred to them

Rarely included early on

Wouldn't matter if she couldn't attend anyway

Her idiosyncrasies ignored and unaccommodated

But if theirs were it was unthinkable

A lesson in life at 36:

It's better to be alone than with those who do not love you.

[specsbecs]

In my head

Is a lonely place

Despite the running commentary

[specsbecs]

me

I've been wondering about spinsters of late,

The historical lone women,

Pariah?

Hideous?

Unlovable?

Or did they not want what society expected, choosing to be alone, choosing themselves.

I would be a spinster in history, yet today my mother calls me "independent",

I choose me.

this was overwhelming to read on a Friday afternoon - my accent isn’t original British? AMERICANS have the ‘original accent’? 

at what point in history do you think americans stopped having british accents

Captain America : Civil War ☆☆☆☆½

Captain America : Civil War ☆☆☆☆½

Aka The Avengers have a fight (but not Thor or Hulk). Which makes it sound like I didn’t like it/am making fun. But I’m really not. I avoided as many trailers as I could for this film, barring the ones I saw when watching other movies in the cinema, because I didn’t want to be set up with the story/know the big explosions beforehand. I like this method because I can then be pleasantly surprised…

Eddie Izzard- Death Star Canteen

[specsbecs]

The National Rifle Association says guns don’t kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps. Just standing there, going ‘Bang!’–that’s not going to kill too many people.

memo to America from England:

[specsbecs]

The kiss at the door, 

once so normal, 

now provokes tears and frustration.

A rebellion inside,

to join the throng online,

leaving me feeling worse than before.

Dark Sonnet by Neil Gaiman.

[specsbecs]

We agreed the fundamentals:

The politics;

The religion (or lack thereof);

The sense of humour.

But he didn’t love Neil Gaiman.
