∟”I just, like, don’t want to give the baby to a family that describes themselves as ‘wholesome’. I don’t know, I just want something a little more edgier. I was thinking more, like, graphic designer — mid thirties, you know, with a cool Asian girlfriend who, like, dresses awesome and rocks out on the bass guitar. But I don’t want to be too particular.”

I just need to know that it’s possible that two people can stay happy together forever.

MOVIES I QUOTE REGULARLY DURING MY DAILY ADVENTURES: Juno (2007)
“I’m not asking for anything. Except for maybe mercy. Like, it would be friggen sweet if no one hit me”
Releasing Material Goods Into The Wild
I just realised that I have a fairly peculiar way of treating newly acquired goods - such as my (500) Days of Summer/Juno double movie pack that I bought a few days ago. This method has now been thrown into sharp relief through the influx of Christmas gifts I have received and I thought it would be interesting to share and see how other people treat their new, shiny toys.
“What is this method?” I hear you ask? Well, it is very similar to the rehabilitation/naturalisation and release of captivity bred animals. When I am given or purchase something new, I take that thing to my room. It is unclear how long it will stay there as everything has its own length of stay. It stays in my room until I have used it, to its fullest extent, once. Then it is released into the general population (of the rest of the house) to be used by others whilst retaining an unseen tracking tag marked “Hayden’s!” so that everyone knows it is tied to me and will leave with me when I go.
In my room, I currently have a mortar and pestle, a cooking thermometer, Julia Child’s cookbook and the (500) Days of Summer/Juno two-movie set. Who knows when they’ll be released? And this is why I find my method so peculiar: a mortar and pestle or cooking thermometer are not doing anyone any good sitting in my bedroom but yet it is there they shall remain. I cannot help but feel I am showing dangerous warning signs of becoming a hoarder - more so than I already am - in my twilight years like my Nana who, if it were not for the very sad but darkly convenient fact that she will not live for more than 10-15 years, would drown in her own possessions.
