“I can’t go out there and absolutely be myself, I’ve always put on some kind of act. Whether it was the cocky kid in the Lacoste T-shirt [that I used to do] or whatever, it’s all kind of an act to some extent. But…" He frowns. “It’s not a full-on, ‘right, get into character’ thing. It’s some sort of extension, maybe, of who I am actually.” +

concept playlists !!

for the last time mum, spending four hours each weekend at the local thrift store is a career in itself. it certainly isn’t easy being so utterly confused with the concept of life that my own personality doesn’t seem to fit me right 

there’s no excuse for feeling morose when the sunbeams are shining so softly across your rose-tinted cheeks, emphasising the visible glow in your mood, potentially a side effect of spending too much time alongside the coast

although the downpour has long since ceased, the memory of water droplets cascading upon the town lingers in the hidden places where secrets tend to be kept, never to be revealed until the rain washes them back out into plain sight 

sometimes i feel like a fish trapped in the tank towards the back right corner of a big city aquarium, observing as people carry on with their daily lives. perhaps the mundanity within these waves is suffocating but i can see the same look on their faces, they feel the same dullness as myself

when troubles dig beneath my skin and cause me to worry about nonsense i find solace in the reality that miles away, far in the distant future, i will cease to exist outside of the memories of those who loved me dearly

My love, we really need to start romanticising our lives more often. We daydream, watch movies and read books about how romance is found through the love of other people, and we forget that we can do those very same things for ourselves! We can indulge in boxes of chocolates, we can buy ourselves our favourite flowers or go stargazing or take long walks along rivers. We can do all those things whenever we want! Don’t go waiting for someone to treat yourself the way you deserve, when there’s someone right there, inside of you, ready and waiting to give all that love to someone. Just give it to yourself for the time being, and the rest should follow.

Teen French expressions

For if you want to make hip young friends.

Disclaimer: French people complain a lot. A lot. Don’t be surprised if 90% of these expressions are complaining.

Non mais oh - say this if someone does something mildly annoying and you want to express your shock and distaste.

Tu me fais chier - (alt. tu me fais chier, là.) literally ‘you make me shit’. means you’re pissing me off.

Carrément - translates to ‘squarely’. Means ‘literally’. If someone tells you something surprising or annoying, you can answer simply “ah carrément.” see: tu me fais carrément chier.

J’hallucine / je rêve - are you annoyed by something? say these.

C’est pas possible - a classic. anything bad happens - c’est pas possible. There is no cheese left? It’s not possible. I’m hallucinating. This is a burden on me that solely I can bear I cannot believe this is happening.

Ça commence à me gaver - I’m starting to get real sick of this. see: Ça commence carrément a me gaver là, putain.

T’es relou - verlan slang for ‘lourd’ meaning someone’s heavy, personality-wise. They’re tedious.

Ça me saoûle / ça me gonfle - similar to gaver, means something’s pissing you off, you’re sick of it.

Grave - totally.

C’est clair - totally/that’s clear. Like ‘claro’ in spanish. “Justine elle est trop relou” “C’est clair. Elle me fait chier.”

J’en ai marre - I’m sick of this.

J’en ai ras le bol - I’m sick of this.

J’en ai ras le cul - I’m sick of this (vulgar).

(J’en ai) Rien à battre - I don’t give a damn.

(J’en ai) Rien à foutre - I don’t give a fuck.

C’est bon, là. -  That’s enough.

Perso, euh, - “Personally,” generally used at the start of a complaining sentence, to express how personal the matter is to you. Perso, euh, c’est bon là. J’en ai ras le cul.

Rôh là - general expression of distaste. Le longer the rôh, the more annoyed you are. Rôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôôh, c’est quoi ce bordel.

C’est quoi ce bordel ? - translates to “what’s this brothel”, means “what’s this shit?!”

C’est de la merde - It’s shit.

C’est une blague ? - Is this a joke?

Idem - ditto

J’ai la dal - I’m hungry

Ça caille - It’s freezing

Ouf - two meanings 1. phew or 2. verlan for “fou”, meaning crazy (as a noun or adjective). “Kévin, c’est un ouf! Il fait du vélo sans casque!” “Ouais carrément, c’était un truc de ouf!”

Kévin - there’s a running joke that all the young delinquents seem to be called Kévin.

Crever - slang for “to die”. Va crever, connard!

Connard/Connasse - c*nt, but a lot less vulgar in french peoples eyes

And finally,

T’es con. No English translation can express the power behind the words “t’es con”. While it may sort of translate to “you’re a c*nt/idiot”, it expresses something much deeper. You really are a god damn fool.

i wish the twilight cast could see the fandom now because i am 100% sure that every single member of the cast would rather see a crowd of gay and trans 20somethings holding signs that say things like “miss victoria, step on my neck” and “smeyer let rosalie be gay challenge” than a crowd of teen girls and unfulfilled housewives asking them to bite them.

Surviving IKEA

Never enter near closing hours.

Do not mispronounce IKEA product names. What you summon will haunt you.

Do not trust the arrows.

Walls shift and new ones appear out of nowhere.

Avoid, at any cost, staying after closing hours.

Do not ask employees for directions to the exit. Most of them have been trapped inside the building ever since they signed the contract. These once happy and good people have grown spiteful. Do not trust them. They want you to stay.

Make the bed after trying it out. It makes them less angry.

In case you are trapped:

Find John. He has lived in the store for six years, unnoticed.

Avoid eye contact with employees roaming around.

Hide whenever possible.

The ghost families living in the showrooms won’t betray you.

Do not steal any pencils. It will give away your position.

Avoid walking through the bed area. The creatures sleeping there won’t appreciate your presence.

When music from the 30s starts blasting through the speakers, Walter, the handyman, has noticed you and wants to drive his screwdriver through your ear.

Run.

He often shouts jokes chasing you followed by the laughter of IKEA personnel echoing throughout the store. Never let your guard down.

Open as many wardrobes as you can. Some of them are magic portals. Pray that you find one in time before he finds you.

Only go through a portal when absolutely necessary. What you find on the other side is often not pleasant.

If there is no other option, try pronouncing the name of the IKEA furniture closest to you. The ground will start to shake. Prepare yourself for the worst.
