I have moved to a new city-thus my lack of posting.I'm finding it a big readjustment with job,internships and friends not being in the same city but its a little exciting.Quite discouraging at times but good to shake me up!I have also been a Vegi now for almost 4 months but yet find myself dreaming of different kinds of meats at least 3 nights a week.......

Also happy Halloween you lovelies!

At Seventeen

2011-03-25T16:11:00.000-07:00

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth



And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say, "come dance with me"
And murmur vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems at seventeen........

~~WHITE~~

Aids mental clarity

Encourages us to clear clutter or obstacles

Evokes purification of thoughts or actions

Enables fresh beginnings

WHITE AROUND THE GLOBE

White is the traditional color worn by brides in the western world, as well as in Japan.

White is a color of mourning in China and parts of Africa.

It was the custom for the Queens of France to wear deuil blanc or "white mourning"

White was the color of deepest mourning among medieval European queens was white rather than black. This tradition survived in Spain until the end of the fifteenth century.

In Chinese culture, colors corresponded with the five primary elements, the directions, and the four seasons. White was associated with metal, west, and autumn.

A white flag is universally recognized as a symbol of truce.

The Japanese have six distinct terms to define whiteness.

The ancient Greeks wore white to bed to ensure pleasant dreams.

RELIGIOUS & MYTHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATIONS WITH WHITE

In Christianity, a white lily represents the Madonna.

On Yom Kippur the Grand Rabbi dresses in white to restore an amiicable relationship between God and his people.

In the Bible, white represents the color of light and is an emblem of the divine.

The appearance of white in a dream is thought to represent happiness at home. White castles are a symbol of achievement, destiny perfectly fulfilled, and spiritual perfection.

Originally, scientists wore beige coats. In the late 19th century, medical professionals chose white ones. The color white was chosen because of the idea of hope and expectations for healing and recovery that the physicians would bring.

WHITE IN ATHLETICS AND SPORTS

Dr. Jigor Kano, founder of Judo, created divisions among students using Belt colors, in order to give students recognition for certain achievements. The white belt represents innocence, purity, and virginity of the soul and mind, just as in church the meaning of a white garment is sinless life.

QUOTES ABOUT WHITE

"White...is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black...God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white." -- G. K. Chesterton

"The first of all single colors is white ... We shall set down white for the representative of light, without which no color can be seen; yellow for the earth; green for water; blue for air; red for fire; and black for total darkness." -- Leonardo Da Vinci

Never use pure white; it doesn't exist in nature.” -- Aldro T. Hibbard

White covers a multitude of sins.” -- Jonathan Milne

"A kiss triggers a cascade of neural messages and chemicals that transmit tactile sensations, sexual excitement, feelings of closeness, motivation and even euphoria.
Kisses can convey important information about the status and future of a relationship. At the extreme, a bad first kiss can abruptly curtail a couple’s future.
Kissing may have evolved from primate mothers’ practice of chewing food for their young and then feeding them mouth-to-mouth. Some scientists theorize that kissing is crucial to the evolutionary process of mate selection."

"Once upon a time, on the north shore of Long Island... there lived a small girl on a large estate." Sabrina Fairchild

Finally got to watch it and it was love at first site.The costumes all done by Rodarte amazed me,Natalie and Mila Kunis performances were mind tripping and the layering of paronia and sexual undertones were well directed.If you can see it i totally recommend as this has stayed with me long after the credits rolled

“She makes these like needlework embroideries on set in the tedium of filming”, says MacFadyen, “but they are all: ‘You Are a Cunt’. And she gives them as presents. And it’s Dame Judi Dench. And she is doing this beautifully, intricate, ornate (work). You kind of see the work materializing as the shoot goes on. Like: ‘You Are a Fucking Shit.’
