Among other things, L-O-V-E

A bit ago:

I was very happy when my mother came home with Burger King for dinner but she is evidently in a bad mood because she is upset I didn’t go get the food when she was parked outside the door waiting (but the thing is she sometimes sit in the car and talks on the phone when she comes home) and then she saw that the porridge from lunch is still untouched (even though I did eat it and it’s not my fault my brother didn’t and I was out until 5pm today because I was helping out with the choir) and she says I should have watched my brother when she isn’t home (and I honestly think he’s old enough to take care of himself and he doesn’t like me very much so why would he listen to me or anything because he never does) so now I’m going to eat the porridge because she’s got me very upset for what she said.

I am not angry at her, I just don’t know what to do.

This is a good metaphor of, well, so many.. things. But that's okay.

And I was watching Perfect Couples and they started playing L-O-V-E and I pretty much melted.

That song is my childhood.

I think it's because of the association in my brain of it with the movie Parent Trap which was my favorite when I was younger (though like a few other movies from my childhood, my family made me think I was crazy and that it never existed).

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you can adore

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

Isn't it such a marvelous thing, that back when, or rather, when it comes to soul and jazz, love songs are pretty much all there are, and bloody beautiful ones they are.

I would love to dance to this one day.

Oh, pshaw, because of this, I now feel the absolute need to download the Parent Trap.

I'm finally eating my burger. It meeellttsss innn mmyyy moouuutthhh, I am in bliss. #simplicity.
