Vendras Conmigo

I had this long entry typed out and it got deleted when my internet crashed... lammmeee...

 

But to reiterate in a nutshell:

 

I'm considering a new tattoo. A quote of sorts from any 3 of my favorite life altering authors or my favorite band the Eels. In the following weeks expect pictures of antcipated format and/or quotes i'm considering. I'd love feedback. If the quote is cheesy or sounds stupid, or isn't strong enough to stand on it's own outside of the overall context i've pulled it from. Even if you horribly disagree with it it'll really help me make my decision, such as, "Am I ready to defend and explain the meaning of this quote my entire life?"

 

To Begin:

 

"Love is so short, Forgetting is so long..."

 

I feel like this one is a little long but it continually intrigues me: "And one by one the nights between our seperated cities are joined to the night that unites us."

 

And this is by far one of my favorite poems and the place I've plagarized my blog title from:

 

Come with me, I said, and no one knew

where, or how my pain throbbed,

no carnations or barcaroles for me,

only a wound that love had opened.

I said it again: Come with me, as if I were dying,

and no one saw the moon that bled in my mouth

or the blood that rose into the silence.

O Love, now we can forget the star that has such thorns!

 

That is why when I heard your voice repeat

Come with me, it was as if you had let loose

the grief, the love, the fury of a cork-trapped wine

The geysers flooding from deep in its vault:

in my mouth I felt the taste of fire again,

of blood and carnations, of rock and scald.

From that I think I would pull "Come with me..." (like my blog title, kind of corny, I know). Any other suggestions?

 

 

On completely unrelated matters:

 

• Babysitting has been going well. I'll eventually post pictures.
• If you all thought my boyfriend was awesome when he got me signed first editions of my favorite books I think he may have topped himself with an all expense paid trip to Mexico. Leaving tomorrow.
• I think I've killed my bluetooth.
• And my basil is growing like crazy, my peppers are finally fully sprouting. Yay, growing plants is like presents every day.
