Good Times

       
         I can finally say I'm on holiday. The first semester has gone by pretty fast,hasn't it? It seems as though yesterday was September 15 and I was anxious to meet my new classmates. For the past weeks I've been sick and spent most of my time in my room,watching awesome tv shows and breathtaking movies .

                                         I love staying indoors.

        Given that I had a lot of free time,I finished reading 'Fight Club'.When I started reading it, I didn't know what to expect.I thought that if I had already seen the movie,I wouldn't enjoy as much. Man,was I wrong! It was wonderful.I took a lot of notes such as: "There will be mistakes,and maybe the point is not to forget the rest of yourself if one little part might go bad.", "There are a lot of things we don't want to know about the people we love.", "Marla's philosophy of life,she told me, is that she can die at any moment. The tragedy of her life is that she doesn't." and spent quite some time thinking about the things that Palahniuk wrote. 

                                   One day, we went for a walk
             and spent time in the park talking and watching the reindeers.

                                    and I tried to be serious
                           but as you can see that was an epic fail.        

         I have a lot of plans for this holiday. I want to read Stieg Larsson's 2nd volume 'The Girl Who Played With Fire', watch a lot of movies,including 'A Dangerous Method', David Cronenberg's new masterpiece, spend time with my family and friends, go ice skating and eat tons of soup.

special day with the family

          Yesterday,we celebrated our National Day. My family and I wanted to do something nice,so we visited a part of Romania that we hadn't seen before and finished our day at a traditional restaurant where we ate great food and listened to old Romanian songs.

 although December is already here,I can still wear

shorts without freezing.true story.

           
       Dexter was very excited to be out in the wild. He ran until he couldn't breathe and then some more. 

         
         On our way back, while Dex slept like a baby, we listened to Alanis Morissette and made plans for our next trips. You can check out more photos on my tumblr account.

              This old Romanian song has always cheered me up :

                                               
                                             

I'm 18,I get confused every day

        Last week I celebrated my 18th anniversary. I spent a nice day with my family ( and no,I'm not ironic,it was really nice ) and complained about being older.

     I always thought that when I'll be 18 years old,I will be mature and live alone but I still feel like a kid. And that's nice,isn't it?!

 
       On another topic,my boyfriend and I found our special place. It's a little pub that's always empty and where we can drink amazing wine and eat soup (I love soup.I really think that soup is my favourite food in the whole universe).

           
       Until now,this week has been pretty good. I got to stay home and study for my exams. Of course that I planned to study all day long but I ended up studying between 2 episodes of  Community.

                                                                                      

         
          So, with 'Fight Club' on my Kindle,waiting to be read, with special days spent in empty bars, with a wonderful boyfriend and amazing friends, I can say that right now my life seems to be on the right track. Everytime I remember last year and the nasty things that happened I can feel nothing but gratitude for what I have today.

               Lately,I've been obsessed with this song sent by a good friend:

                             

Currently inspired by:

       “I will remember your small room, the feel of you, the light in the window, your records, your books, our morning coffee, our noons, our nights, our bodies spilled together, sleeping, the tiny flowing currents, immediate and forever. Your leg, my leg, your arm, my arm, your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again.”
                                                                              Charles Bukowksi

                                       

the Internet is a shitty book that I can't put down

           I know I haven't written a lot lately but my days are filled with school and studying for school. I'm sure you know what it's like to wake up at the crack of dawn to finish (or, in my case,start ) studying for a Math Test.
           The weather has been pretty nice these past days. I wore a lot of dresses and skirts and although every single person that saw me asked me if I wasn't cold, I felt incredible.I love wearing dresses!

                                                          *

           This week I received a present from my sister: a Kindle. I've wanted to have one ever since it appeared so I was pretty happy.

                     
              Hope you guys have a nice weekend!                 

I'm the hero of the story,don't need to be saved

          I'm pretty sure I've already told you that I love "500 Days of Summer". So today I spent half of my time searching for photos,quotes and songs from the movie.

    “This is a story of boy meets girl. The boy, Tom Hansen of Margate, New Jersey, grew up believing that he’d never truly be happy until the day he met the one. This belief stemmed from early exposure to sad British pop music and a total mis-reading of the movie ‘The Graduate’. The girl, Summer Finn of Shinnecock, Michigan, did not share this belief. Since the disintegration of her parents’ marriage she’d only loved two things. The first was her long dark hair. The second was how easily she could cut it off and feel nothing. Tom meets Summer on January 8th. He knows almost immediately she is who he has been searching for. This is a story of boy meets girl, but you should know upfront—this is not a love story.”

                " People don't realize this, but loneliness is underrated." 
                                                *
         " Did you ever do this, you think back on all the times you've had with someone and you just replay it in your head over and over again and you look for those first signs of trouble?"

                                        

      "I love her smile. I love her hair. I love her knees. I love how she licks her lips before she talks. I love her heart-shaped birthmark on her neck. I love it when she sleeps."

                                        *
     " I hate her crooked teeth. I hate her 1960s haircut. I hate her knobby knees. I hate her cockroach-shaped splotch on her neck. I hate the way she smacks her lips before she talks. I hate the way she sounds when she laughs."
                

                    " - Nobody loves Ringo Starr.
                      - That's what I love about him."

                         
        What a great scene that was! I sure hope I've convinced at least one of you to watch the movie. It was so beautifully written and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel  were chosen so well that I couldn't imagine anyone else playing Summer or Tom.

             My rating: 9/10                    
                            
           

you mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger,darling

              The past few days have been great. I've met with good friends,read another book by Haruki Murakami,saw a couple of great movies ( if you haven't seen 'Girl,Interrupted' yet,watch it asap ) and discovered a bunch of songs that have been on repeat ever since.

                    
                There's nothing better than going out for a drink with your friends,is it?!

              
               This week,Louise,a good friend came home from France and she brought my sister and I a magnet for our cow-collection. It was pretty nice to see her and listen to all her funny stories while eating pizza and drinking cold beer. 

  
         Also,I haven't got the chance to tell you that this week my boyfriend and I celebrated our 15 months anniversary. Yes,we're that kind of couple that counts every second spent together.                                                       

                  
        And since I'm sure you've missed Dexter, I wanted to show you his daily face. Yup,that's right. He smiles like that for no reason whatsoever.

               One of those songs that I was telling you about is this:
