Fell in love in reading since I was young, there won't be a time you see me not caught up in the book if I'm not studying, with dear Boyfriend or busy with games, music and family. One particular interesting book I came across in the library,
The ABCs of LOVE; Sarah Salway.
I picked up some phrases of the best word that represents each alphabet and has some truth and agreement for me. It's just what I too feel about
LOVE.Attitude".... strange thing I have noticed is that when people in the media get together, the only thing they talk is about what they are going to go & not what they do do. It makes me dull for enjoying my job cause there is absolutely nothing else I can imagine myself doing."
Blood"It used to be a craze at school to stratch the initials of your boyfriend into your arm with a compass and squeeze the skin until the blood came up before rubbing it over with ink to make it tattoo for life. It was Sally's idea to mix blood drops of blood together so that we are sisters now and nothing could seperate us, not even a boy."
Codes"... I fpeopl ecan' tunderstan dyo u, t he yten dt omak eyo univisibl e."
Read in between the lines. You'll understand the sentence.
Dreams"Sally once went out with a man who liked to record her dreams in a diary. She break off with him as she was too exhausted having to stay awake all night trying to think of interesting things for him to write about."
Endings"... you sit with unopened book on your lap waiting to meet the main character with that sense of anticipation you get on blind dates. And there's a moment - normally just halfway through - when your heart grows too big for your body as all these dreadful things are happening in the book and there's nothing you can do to stop them. But when you get to the last words, you can't believe it. It's as if they've shut the door and left you unwanted."
"... no one could expect to live happily ever after. It just didn't happen. There are no happy endings..."
Fat Women"... have you noticed how difficult it is to see a fat woman and a small, thin man together and not think of them having violent, needy, and possibly perverted sex?"
Grief"... Some mornings I was up and I know I've been crying in my sleep, but I just can't get the tears out. That's when you think you're drowning. You're not sharp or square. Just an empty outline filled to the brim with lukewarm water that numbs everything inside you. You're too full to take anything in and too blocked to let anything out. Everything else is just sadness, and seeing a funny dog can make you better."
Horoscopes"... but I bet it's Sagittarius. I have never trusted Sagittarians. They are too popular."
Illness"... your mum was so beautiful. I never knew what she saw in me. Even now, everytime she goes out of the door, I think she won't bother to come back. She was always seemed so precious. I was scared to touch her, you know. Scared I'd break her or something."
"... he touch her hand, and I saw that he still saw her as precious, was still worried he might lose her. Then one day I looked at my parents' hands together, and it seemed Mum had already died. Her hand looked like a marble effigy next to his."
"... Dad has passed away. He'd just given up the fight. But I knew he'd died of a broken heart."
Jacuzzi"... falling in love surrounded by shiny bubbles. Plus, when you've just swum yourself into a trance, you leave the rest of the world behind you."
Kisses"... I wanted to rub my skin against my grandmother's forever. She smelled of lavender and dried rosebubs and those thin tubes of Parma Violet sweets. I read a book called Freddy's Little Sister and was all about a boy who was forced to beg on the streets because his parents had died. He needed food to look after his little sister, who was all he had in the world, but no one gave him any money and everyone was horrible. ...Freddy little sister died."
Lesbians"... Colin lives in hope of walking in and finding Sally and me in a delicate situation together. It is his deepest fantasy. I'm so grateful that John understands friendship for what it is and is not always trying to turn it to his advantage."
Mustache"... rested all his fingertips over my upper lip. "I love your mustache," he said. I felt myself do tense, especially when he leaned forward and dolloped out little butterfly kisses all over my face. Was he joking? If only men would realize that this is all women need. To be desired without boundaries, to be loved for all the things we have got wrong with us, not for what we would like to be."
Nostrils"Sophia found me crying in the ladies' room at work, one of the last people I pick to see me at my worst. It's her nostrils. It's as if she's put two fingers up her nose and turned it inside out. "It won't be the last time it happens, " she said. "And every time it does, you will think this is really the end, that this time you'll never get back with each other, and your heart will break again and again until you don't think you can bear it anymore. But I promise you that you've a long, hard journey ahead. You won't be able to leave each other alone, and it will hurt just as much each time one of you decides that you must part."
"... I know about pain indexes. And men. He won't be worth it. They never are."
Orphans"... he wants to protect me so carefully that no harm will ever happen to me. This is why I have to do what he says, to be what he wants. Everyone needs someone to look after them."
Pain Index"... when we speak on the telephone now, I have a second conversation - the things I really want to know - going on my mind. This makes it difficult to talk, so when I do eventually say what I want to say, it comes out too quickly and harsly and I start crying."
"... he can't bear it. He just wants things back to being as they were. He says I need to find a way round this."
the Queen"John thinks I wear black lace underwear every day. He says it's such a change from Kate, who makes no effort. "It's important," I tell him, "not to take anything for granted."
Railway Stations"... a couple got on just when the train doors are shutting. They sat back at first, puffed out from running and giggling, but then they started to kiss. She stood up, and he guided her by the hips to sit on his lap. Eventually they went out into the corridor and lost sight of them. When the train cane to my station, I left by their corridor because I wanted to catch a sight of them. They were pinned up against the train door, wrapped in their coats, and moving slowly and gently that it seemed they were in a dream."
"The next day at the station, just as John went to shake my hand, I pulled him to me and kissed him properly. When I got on my train and took my seat, I hoped everyone in the carriage had been watching."
Sculpture"... what color was the model's wig and how I'd never really asked John whether he preferred blondes or brunettes."
True Romance"... loved her almost obsessively and they had one of those particularly close relationships you're not supposed to get with couples who don't have children. The architect beg the woman to leave the husband and move in with him, but she refused. The real love in the story was between the husband and wife."
Underwear"... purple silk with silver ribbon woven through the edges. Sally said we look like strippers."
"... both wearing that sort of lingerie that makes you long to be run over by a bus so you can make the ambulance man's day."
Voyeur"... looked up and saw a man standing in the doorway watching me through the mirror. He wasn't attractive but he was watching me with such intensity that I felt we'd both been caught doing something far too intimate. He was just staring at me, running his fingers round his shirt collar, when our eyes locked, and my whole body turned to liquid. I don't know how long we stood there; we couldn't seem to look away. But suddenly I froze, shut my eyes, and when I looked up, he'd gone."
Weight"I want to be strong so that no one can push me around ever again. I want to weigh myself down so my feet stay on the ground. I want to become such a presence that everyone can see me. I don't ever want to become invisible. Most of all, I want to matter."
X-ray Vision"... I am peculiarly sensitive to what people are really thinking. Gifts like this have to be used responsibly. Not everyone wants someone else looking inside their brain."
Youth"... it proves that some men are just genetically programmed to be jerks."
Zzzz"Love's not like a roller coaster because of the ups and downs. It is more because you queue up for hours to get on the ride, then you are strapped in, so you can't get out even when when you're about third of the way through and realize you've changed your mind. There's nothing you can do, you've just got to carry on until the end, and even then, you've got to wait until someone else releases you and says you can go. And once you're safely back on solid ground, you're rushing off to join the next queue."
Such a quirky way of getting at the heart of love using the twenty-six letters of the alphabet!
