ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIE QUOTES...

I LOVE THAT YOU GET COLD WHEN IT'S 71 DEGREES OUT. I LOVE THAT IT TAKES YOU AN HOUR AND A HALF TO ORDER A SANDWICH. I LOVE THAT YOU GET A LITTLE CRINKLE ABOVE YOUR NOSE WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT ME LIKE I'M NUTS. I LOVE THAT AFTER I SPEND THE DAY WITH YOU, I CAN STILL SMELL YOUR PERFUME ON MY CLOTHES. AND I LOVE THAT YOU ARE THE LAST PERSON I WANT TO TALK TO BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT. AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE I'M LONELY, AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT'S NEW YEAR'S EVE. I CAME HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH SOMEBODY, YOU WANT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TO START AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.'

- HARRY BURNS 'WHEN HARRY MET SALLY', 1989

JUST, LYRICS I LOVE...

HE TELLS HER, "I WANT TO PAINT YOU NAKED ON A BIG BRASS BED

WITH BRIGHT ORANGE POPPIES ALL AROUND YOUR HEAD."

AND SHE SAYS, "CRAZY OLD MAN, I'M NOT YOUNG ANYMORE."

"THAT'S ALL RIGHT," HE WHISPERS, "I'VE NEVER PAINTED BEFORE.

"DO YOU LOVE ME LADY JANE, LADY JANE?

DO YOU LOVE ME LADY JANE, LADY JANE?

YOU GOT ME TALKIN' TO THE MOON, YOU GOT ME WALKIN' IN THE RAIN.

DO YOU LOVE ME, DO YOU LOVE ME LADY JANE?"

"I WANT TO READ YOUR TEA LEAVES BY CANDLE LIGHT.

ON A FAT RED VELVET SOFA, I WANT TO BE WITH YOU ALL NIGHT.

I WANT TO TICKLE YOUR FEET WITH A PEACOCK PLUME."

AND SHE SAYS, "CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE SOFTER, THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM."

PENPALS.... THE LOST ART OF SOMETHING IN THE POST

AT MY MUM & DADS HOUSE THIS CHRISTMAS, I FOUND MY OLD LETTER WRITING SETS. THIS IS NO NORMAL LETTER WRITING SET I POST ABOUT... I WAS OBSESSED WITH WRITING & RECEIVING LETTERS, DECORATED WITH SEQUINS & FURRY STICKERS, HOLOGRAMS & MAGAZINE CLIPPINGS, COLOURED TEXTAS & GLITTER PENS ADORNED THE ENVELOPES & PAGES INSIDE. I EVEN STARTED A 'PENPAL' CLUB IN WHICH I HOOKED UP MY PENPALS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH EACH OTHER. WE WOULD SEND POSTCARDS (JASON PRIESTLY POSTCARD PICTURED, MY PERSONAL FAV!) PHOTOS, STICKERS & CUT OUTS FROM TV HITS OF THE BOYS WE THOUGHT WE WOULD MARRY (ME; MACAULY CULKIN...SWOON!). TO ART OF LETTER WRITING SADLY A THING OF THE PAST. REPLACED NOW WITH TEXT & EMAILS & PREDOMINATELY, FACEBOOK POSTS. I LOVE GOING THROUGH THESE OLD LETTERS &, IT IS ALMOST LIKE READING THROUGH A DIARY OVER TH EYEARS. SOME DATE BACK AS FAR AS 1992, ME A THEN 10 YEAR EXCHANGING LETTERS WITH MY COUSIN, USING OUR BERRY SMELL PINK PENS TO WRITE POINTLESS NOTHINGS ON STATIONARY WE HAD RECEIVED THE CHRISTMAS BEFORE. THE OLDER I GET, THE MORE I TREASURE ALL THESE LETTER VERY MUCH. AS A CHILD, & EVEN NOW, THERE IS NOTHING MORE EXCITING THEN RECEIVING A HAND WRITTEN NOTE, THE FEEL OF THE PAPER, THE CARE IN THE HAND ADDRESSING, & WHILE NOW THE SEQUINS & FURRY STICKERS ARE REPLACED WITH INKS & WAX SEALS, IT DOESN'T MAKE LETTER WRITING ANY LESS FUN. - SW
