One thing I cannot stand about this country is how long everyone takes to respond to emails. Answer me dammit!
I'm so frustrated with this tube strike. There's no way for me to get home after 8.30 on weekends now. Like I get not wanting to work nights bc that goes against your contract you negotiated five years ago but also...the whole world has been fucking annihilated these past two years, things change, suck it up. And also fuck the TfL CEOs(?) who gave themselves bonuses out of the covid relief money. Now everyone in London has to suffer
Legitimately had SUCH a good riding lesson today! It was so nice to have an instructor notice that i’m timid but perfectly capable with the right encouragement instead of calling me lazy or incompetent, which is what ive been called so many times before. I *can* be a good rider, but it takes a bit of instruction (which is what instructors are there for, but so many of them rely solely on the student having a natural instinct for something b/c they don’t actually have any teaching skills)
All too well Taylor's version's got me considering bleaching my hair blonde for the first time...she got me good
As much as brits love to give americans shit about using fireworks, i sure do hear a lot of sirens on this bonfire night
Bruh why does idina Menzel on the official wicked soundtrack sound like she’s half asleep through most of it. Like obviously it’s not a live recording so you can be a bit more restrained and I’d expect it to sound less frantic but after seeing the show live it sounds really like…quiet and sleepy lol
Not to be the absolute worst but it still kinda wigs me out that my boyfriend has so many female friends and spends so much one-on-one time with them... like I think it's just a cultural difference that posh brits have more mixed gender friends than midwestern Americans so I'm not like *concerned* about it but I can't make it feel normal either
The way some of my classmates so casually are open about doing work that isn't legal on student visa stresses me the fuck out

“I am sitting at my kitchen table waiting for my lover to arrive with lettuce and tomatoes and rum and sherry wine and a big floury loaf of bread in the fading sunlight. Coffee is percolating gently, and my mood is mellow. I have been very happy lately, just wallowing in it selfishly, knowing it will not last very long, which is all the more reason to enjoy it now.”

Okay but if lorde wants her new album to be like THE summer soundtrack for her fans then um...why is she releasing it on august 20th?? Summer is over by then, people are back in school and done with their summer trips etc. The timing is confusing to me.
“You want to be brothers-in-arms, to have him to yourself… to be shipwrecked together, (to) perform valiant deeds to earn his admiration, to save him from certain death, to die for him - to die in his arms, like a Spartan, kissed once on the lips… or just run his errands in the meanwhile. You want him to know what cannot be spoken, and to make the perfect reply, in the same language.”
