reading sarah dessen books ; love all the quotes

"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment."

"Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend."

"Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you."

"Don't think or judge, just listen."

"There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying."

"Sometimes it seems safer to hold it all in, where the only person who can judge is yourself."

"It's all in the view. That's what I mean about forever, too. For any one of us our forever could end in an hour, or a hundred years from now. You never know for sure, so you'd better make every second count."

"It's just that...I just think that some things are meant to be broken. Imperfect. Chaotic. It's the universe's way of providing contrast, you know? There have to be a few holes in the road. It's how life is."

"You know, when it works, love is pretty amazing. It's not overrated. There's a reason for all those songs."

"It was just one of those things," I said, "You know, that just happen. You don't think or plan. You just do it."

"What did it feel like, I wondered, to love someone that much? So much that you couldn't even control yourself when they came close, as if you might just break free of whatever was holding you and throw yourself at them with enough force to easily overwhelm you both."

"No matter how much time has passed, these things still affect us and the world we live in. If you don't pay attention to the past, you'll never understand the future. It's all linked together."

"I had no illusions about love anymore. It came, it went, it left casualties or it didn't. People weren't meant to be together forever, regardless of what the songs say."

"You can't make any one person your world. The trick is to take what each can give you and build a world from it."

"Silence is so freaking loud - Owen"

[****] writing this on saturday, even though it happened on friday. gosh how lazy.

yesterday was funnn 8)

for lunch, me & mum went to castle towers to have lunch at taste cafe which was good

i had a sandwich & mum had this toast thing she won't tell me the name of because she thinks i'll post it on facebook

anyway, the names of the dishes were chatswood & cherrybrook [funny :) yeah but lame]

then we stared at the michael hill jewellers sale that was tomorrow [today now] & there were like earrings there for $1 so yeah, nuff said, we had to be there bright & early

at dinner, we stole sarah out of college & went to the combined gooyokyebethere at howard's house.
there were tonnes of kids in kindy or preschool like jennifer, chloe & her bro, ian [승 어니] & his little bro allan,, & a couple of kindy boys i don't really know the name of

then there were a few older kids like sarah, michelle [사라], ashley, lisa, esther jo & her bro steven, jason, ian, grace :S.

we were all pretty much bored for like the first hour; i tried to organise a completely fail game of hide & seek for jennifer, chloe, sarah & michelle while esther kept taking photos of random things [pssh nature x]] with her dad's old camera [which was pretty cool because it had film & wasn't digital & stuff but still].

then we gave up & went inside. the kindy guys i don't really know the name of kept flicking rubber bands at us [yeah, well my theory was that they were trying to flirt with chloe which is cute :)]

one flicked at me & i tried to flick it back but then i ended up flicking it at myself, i'm such a tard haha ;)

haha so while the rest of us died of boredom, lying on the sofa & the ground & everything, esther was taking photos of the mat. chloe & the 2 kindy guys started this insane ranting competition where she screamed at them in gibberish, jumping & screaming, & they returned the favour by flicking rubber bands at her & then she tried to lock them out so her mum came & scolded her.

it was sort of interesting at first but then chloe was fully hyperactive & kept turning the lights on & off so it got kind of tiring.

then ashley, lisa & jason came & started being bored too.then ian & grace came. ian got bored while grace started fully stressing about her yr12 exams coming up soon even though she's at the end of yr 11 but who could blame her ?

haha then she said she got kidnapped from college to be there.
but me & esther started looking through her folder, notes & study stuff & got so freaked out by the 4 unit maths.
we got over it soon & started teasing grace cos, seriously, one of us was going into yr9 [me] & the other yr10 [her] so i mean, we had a RIGHT to tease the one person in the room who was going to do hsc next year ;D
soon the adults called us downstairs for food which was pretty much the sole reason we were there in the first place.
so everyone was fully quiet as they ate their chicken, spring rolls, sashimi, 묵 & chilli nuts except esther who was trying to give her 3rd chicken to grace who was already trying to swap ian her chicken for his spring roll.
i was trying to eat & had almost finished until chloe PUT HER FOOT INTO MY PLATE >:(
i know i'm being kind of a jerk about this but i'm so germaphobic & someone touching my food with their foot is just unacceptable for me.]
well yeah, i didn't say anything because chloe's just young but sarah [my darling little sister, not] saw my look & was like 'get over it grace' because she knew what i had a full phobia of & what i was thinking.

after dinner, most of us went downstairs to try & entertain ourselves except ian & jason [who was playing games on the plasma tv] & grace [who was still frantically studying & stressing, hehe, ohh & trying to find her penlid with miffy on it]

we tried to play a few games ,
we had laughing competitions, staring competitions & arm wrestling competitions. sooooo sad. esther won them all; gosh ahaha let the little kids win ! [namely me ofc]

then we played a game where we had to count around the circle & clap instead of say it every time a multiple of 3 came out & anyone who made a mistake or was too slow had to do a dare.

tbh, all the dares were so lame. it was like 'say to your mum, i love you'.
& i was like falling asleep but what can i say? you can't really blame them, they're only in preschool & kindy. x3
we all stole fruit from the mums who were in the living room, cutting mangoes & pears. especially esther, she stole a lot but then again, she actually helped out. haha :)

so yeah, then we had to go home at 8:30 ish. but only after we got home did dad realise he'd left his bible there & i realised that i'd left my jumper there. & we were like ahh,, screw it. we'll get it at church, ahahah (Y)
& the car ride home was hilarious because i was still arguing with sarah over the [chloe putting her foot in my food] incident because according to sarah, chloe's foot was only 'dangling' over my plate but i know what i saw.
then mum told me to stop complaining about incidents involving little kids but then me & sarah just had to point out that she always complains & gets picky over our friends which is totally true.
so then the arguements kept randomly going from chloe's incident to [mum& our friends'] incidents. it was hilarious. & because me, sarah & mum were arguing jokingly but crazily, dad put on his classical music really loud to block us all out. hahah x]]
& then we all turned to him & picked on him "you think you're perfect? you're part of this too!"
dad, ofc, just smiled & hummed so we all gave up & just kept arguing with each other.

so yeaaah, i was pretty tired after that so i cbb to blog about it until the day after [today].

the end; :)
