TV Night

"So I'll call your cellular phone
to tell you TV night was
lonely without you
and so am I...
so am I."

from Dashboard Confessional's "Shirts and Gloves"

Monday is my TV night. John always calls me after Heroes so that we can talk about it. Last night he said that it would be fun if we watched Heroes together (over the phone). He is incredibly adorable.

This is also one of my favorite Dashboard songs and I was tempted to just quote the whole thing. I have the feeling more parts will come.

Update-- Part is already up! High Points...

Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Untitled (Loverboy)

Another fantastic work by my favorite artist. This is truly beautiful in the way that the light illuminates the windows and their curtains. And in the way that the wind plays throughout the space. It evokes the feeling of a lover softly caressing your body.

Love is in the Air

I don't know if it's the fact that spring is coming or if it's just me, but all I can think of is love. I can't stop thinking about him and how much he means to me. I think the boy is really in love with me and that makes me happier than I can express. And all I want to do is be in his arms. It feels so good there.

Update-- In every post about how much I like him I say that I want to be in his arms. I really like being held by him and I don't care how cliche it sounds. It just makes me feel loved.

Barbara Kruger, Untitled

I love this. I think this is a very powerful statement about the restraints placed upon women. It is also a very knowledgeable commentary on the patriarchal history of art.

Friends First

"I just think if we keep our hearts together
Just think if we build on this trust that we have for one another
Baby we can make this last a lifetime"

from Ray Lamontagne's "Forever My Friend"

We were friends first. Best friends. It's amazing to me how much our love has grown over these years and how our relationship has transformed. I think it is really beautiful.
