• first kiss and wanderlust / a mixtape

    Tiffany Julia May 11, 2013

    I’ve always liked making playlists. When I was younger, in the days before CDs, I remember having a pile of blank cassette tapes my dad got for me sitting on my desk. My boombox or walkman was always tuned to the local pop radio station.…

    I’ve always wanted to get into scrapbooking. It just seemed so fun from all the finished pages I’ve seen on various different blogs. I never really realized how time consuming scrapbook was; let alone expensive. You have to buy all of the embellishments then gather…

  • the lovely moon

    Tiffany Julia April 26, 2013

    I’ve always liked looking up at the moon. Yet, for a while, I did take it for granted. When you’re a kid, you learn about the moon and the solar system and all the planets, but that’s pretty much it. You know that they exist…

    Tiffany Julia April 15, 2013

    The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (2013)ISBN: 9780525426004 I finished this book awhile ago. Like, I ordered it from Barnes & Noble and it arrived the same day (a Thursday I believe) and I spent a few hours on Friday just reading the whole thing. I…

  • “no one can legislate love”

    Tiffany Julia April 14, 2013

    “No one can legislate love; it cannot be given orders or cajoled into service. Love belongs to itself, deaf to pleading and unmoved by violence. Love is not something you can negotiate. Love is the one thing stronger than desire and the only proper reason…

  • why do we romanticize tragedy?

    Tiffany Julia April 13, 2013

    It’s safe to assume that everyone has heard of the Titanic. Whether the actual ship or the 1997 James Cameron movie based on the historical events of the ship’s ill-fated maiden voyage, everyone knows about it, especially with all the media hype it garnered last April due…

    Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson (1994)ISBN: 9780679744474 So, I recently finished Written on the Body by Jeanette Winterson. When I made my previous post about the opening lines of the novel, I had just begun rereading the book. I originally had to read it for…

  • love = love

    Tiffany Julia March 26, 2013

    Today marks the first day in which the Supreme Court will hear cases to legalize same-sex marriage. I know this is a touchy subject, but it’s one that permeates through today’s society. Like any civil rights movement, LGBT movement has begun and will stay around until long…

  • loving yourself first

    Tiffany Julia March 16, 2013

    I’ve encountered this quote, saying, proverb, whatever it so happens to be, a lot recently. Course, it was always phrased differently, either rearranged or with words substituted for other words, but all the meanings were the same: you have to love yourself first before you…

    “I almost wish we were butterflies and liv’d but three summer days–three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.” – John Keats I suppose what Keats is saying here is what I think a lot…

    Tiffany Julia February 19, 2013

    “There’s lots of good fish in the sea…maybe…but the vast masses seem to be mackerel or herring, and if you’re not mackerel or herring yourself, you are likely to find very few good fish in the sea.” ― D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley’s Lover Taking the…

  • valentine’s day

    Tiffany Julia February 14, 2013

    Every day should be Valentine’s Day. I said this to my brother yesterday and he asked me why I think that. It’s pretty simple really. Why do we as a society allot just one day out of the 365 days of a year to love?…
