butterscotch and delicate hands

I finally did it. I finally saw Breakfast At Tiffany's. It's quite lovely, and the imagery is nice. I'm glad I saw it. I like seeing things that are older, everything seems to have such charm compared to now. I was looking at my father's old school yearbook, it's weird to see how life has changed and stayed the same.

October has come, and already there is snow on the ground. A thin layer, but it is still upsetting. I was looking forward to rolling in the autumn leaves. I've been sitting in my home, drinking glasses of milk, and eating toast with jam. I've been dreaming of being wrapped up in a blanket with a special someone, and watching movies like Now and Then and Madeline, and maybe even Matilda or 500 Days of Summer.

I've been writing my own Happy Lists in various notebooks. I am in love with writing lists.

paper cranes, cupcakes, balloons, ballet shoes, peanut butter, orchestras, tea, bubble baths, editorial models, trampolines, blue skies, massages, people who write sweet emails, sending postcards, sparkly fingernails, hula-hoops and adventures.

I would like to have this. http://www.theall-nighter.com/catalog/item/7168668/7340888.htm

“There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.”
— Anaïs Nin

I got together with some friends, and we made crafts, involving tons of glitter! I made a glittery dinosaur that I am planning on giving a very sweet person that I am getting to know. I like getting to know people. Especially people who want to get to know me back.

I am going to listen to every single one of the songs you all posted in the comments of my last blog post. Now, another question(should I stop asking these?). Do you watch Glee? What do you think of it? It is one of my favourite television shows, and I want your input!

Your happy list makes me happy. I don't watch Glee, everyone says its amazing but I really dont need another show to add to my list of things to watch each week. I am in love with the vampire diaries however.

I have watched one episode of glee. The one with Kristen Chenowack or however you spell it. The girl from Wicked who sings popular.
You obviously know who I'm talking about.
Keep asking the questions.
I don't really like the show :( Don't hate me, but my tv shows that I like consist of Survivorman and Friends.

I like your blog a lot.
