Day 08 — A photo that makes you angry/sad

Hm… this is very hard for me as I don’t usually save pictures that make me sad.

This just makes me very upset and sad every time I see it. It’s just like I want to break the mirrors and make these girls listen to their bodies.

Day 07 — A photo that makes you happy

(edit: yeah, you should queue your drafts up in order to get them posted… being blonde today.)

b/c we look so happy and it was such an amazing day and oh my god, you can’t even understand how beautiful these cliffs are if you haven’t been there.

Day 06 — Whatever tickles your fancy

These two beauties do.

Dita von Teese + just about everything Monsieur Louboutin creates (for people new to my blog: the shoes! I’m crazy about Louboutins).

Day 05 — Your favorite quote

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.

(Sir Winston Churchill)

Day 04 — Your favorite book

I’m not a big reader, but yeah… as with everything, I can’t narrow down one favourite.

fun read: Holly Would Dream by Karen Quinn

Love, fashion, Audrey Hepburn - and a big part of the plot playing on a luxury cruise liner. If you’re into movies of the 50s and 60s, you might want to take a look at this - it’s fun to search all the references!

feel-good read: Breakfast with Scot by Michael Downing

A perfectly adjusted gay couple has to take in Scot, an 11 year old who is “gay” in every way you could think of: he likes to sing, dance and possesses a pink singing hairbrush. Sweat novel about being gay, but mostly about being a family.

“philosophical” read: High Fidelity by Nick Hornby

Rob and Nora break up. As she moves out, he uses the opportunity to make a list of the 5 worst break-ups he had. (And she’s not even made it on that list. Bitch.) As he looks up and visits his former girlfriends, he realizes a few things about relationships and what it takes to keep your life afloat.

intellectual read: The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

Kafka is not everybody’s cup of tea, but this the only “old” novel that ever made me cry.

Day 03 — Your favorite television program

(edit: I queued this post and forgot to move it to the top :/)

That one’s easy. BONES!

The cast is adorable plus David Boreanaz is hot plus anthropology will ever be my true love.

Day 02 — Your favorite movie

just like the last post… there is no definite favourite. I own well over 150 movies and which one I like best depends on my mood. So here’s a selection:

All-time favourite: Surf’s Up [trailer] (best feel-good movie of all times! Penguin Love!)

Other very much loved movies:

- Pulp Fiction (classic :3)

- Little Miss Sunshine (adorable cast, great depth, funny, but thoughtful)

- 27 dresses (feel-good movie! can watch this over and over and over again.)

- P.S. I love you (feel-good! great cast, i adore hilary swank’s outfits and the shots of ireland are fantastic!)

- Breakfast at Tiffany’s (classic :3 and a must-have-seen)

- Love and other Desasters (great take on a modern Holly Golightly, drop-dead funny)

Day 01 — Your favorite song

this. is. very. hard.

I never had a favourite song for long, there are just always songs that I like quite much, but they never last forever. Sometimes I happen to rediscover them and listen to them again for some time… but yeah. No definite favourite song.

Two songs I keep bouncing back to the most are:

Fall Out Boy - Bang the Doldrums (I don’t know why, but I’m deeply in love with the lyrics. This is a lovesong in my own way. Happily ever after below the waist. Genius.)

Howie Day - Collide (This is just so full of emotions for me. I love hearing this on a semi-cold autumn day when I walk through the streets and see the grass and the leafs gently blowing in the wind.)

Songs that are on constant replay at the moment:

Iyaz - Replay

Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed

Tiesto feat. C.C. Sheffield - Escape me

If you listened to all the songs, you will probably realize I’m a very torn person, musically speaking.

Enjoy nevertheless! :D
