hello. i'm gracie and i like to smoke marlboro gold. 

You're not unlucky, you're just not very smart.These things will never leave you - they're as close as you can getTo a blueprint for the future - but you can call it fate.It's like these days I have to write down almost every thought I've held,So scared I am becoming of forgetting how it felt,And these fears they will unravel me one day,But still I am afraid. 

 this is how i feel when i remember that i'm meant to be at a crucial point in my life. i'm meant to be worried about how they will affect the future and apply that to my work ethic, but currently, i have no future plans and i have a lust for being young forever. 
when you're young you dream of being a popstar or a vet or a mum but i've never shared those desires. from the age of four, i noticed that girls never got as exciting a toy at christmas compared to boys and maybe that started my drive to change life for women. or maybe i've just always been a massive argumentative bitch.


i should probably drink some tea now, get dressed and REVISE now

amō, that means to love in latin

okay, so i am single and everyone keeps asking "are you okay baby?"

of course i am you silly children. i am sixteen years old, i do not know what love is, i merely understand a deep friendship. sex is a hobby - not an act of commitment and those who say that it is, are bullshitting. how at sixteen can you understand something so intimate and passionate? what even is love?

love

1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection for another person.

3. sexual passion or desire.

4. a person toward whom love is felt; beloved person.
5. as in a term of endearment using direct address towards another

“Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence.” Vincent van Gogh

“Everybody can be great… because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. you only need a heart full of grace. a soul generated by love.” Martin Luther King

“To say the truth, reason and love keep little company together now-a-days.” William Shakespeare

“If you’ve lost your faith in love and music then the end won’t be long.” Pete Doherty

genuinely, i do not think anyone knows, it's simply an invention of humankind to fill a void in their life. so what if you're ninety and have twenty cats? you're happy and that's it, being in love doesn't mean you're content with life at all.

SLOW CLUB: 02.05.12

Last night was simply quite spectacular.

The first support act, Two Jackals were much better than I personally anticipated. I thought of them as a younger, fresh version of Joy Division and anyway that knows me well enough will clarify that I love Joy Division more than life. For a group of sixteen year olds, their music was original and in a strange sort of way, uplifting. In comparison to other young bands, they're definitely in my top three and I would definitely recommend giving 'Here or Now' a listen. The drummer, I did have a cigarette with him but sadly I've forgotten his name, is rad and his drumming ability is fab. In fact, all the members of Two Jackals are exceptionally talented and I would highly rate them if you're young and want something a little grunge, post rock and trippy.

I don't know what Martin Creed were attempting to achieve but it did lead to me cracking out some of the embarrassing dad dancing. The music itself reminds me of my Dad's best friends band "Brother's of Mothershovel" (hark at the name) who pretend (yes, pretend) to be sponsored by Lidl. The lyrics were erm, snappy and songs mainly consisted of repeated chanting such as the song '1-100' which pretty much did count up to 100. 

SLOW CLUB, oh really, what can I say other than that they were pure perfection?! Charles and Rebecca's voices work better together than any other band's I've ever seen. A lot of the songs on the setlist were from Paradise with a few from their new EP. I positively teared up at "Not mine 2 luv" and IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. "The Dog" got everyone moving, and Steve the little guitarist and saxophone player genuinely made my night. He reminded me of a pop up mole as he just had that envious natural ability to disappear and reappear spontaneously. On a slightly more shallow note, I'd just like to mention that I have the same creepers as Rebecca and as for Charles' beard, I can only wish. 

After successfully stealing all possible set lists, I managed to get to meet Charles and Rebecca who were genuinely such lovely, down-to-earth people. I fangirled and got a photo and even with my three inch brogues on, I still remain ridiculously petite.
