Flaws Make You

song to you from me

I Like Your Flaws

Dec. 20, 2011

By Stephanie Georgopulos

I like how you mispronounce words sometimes, how you fumble and stammer and stutter looking for the right ones to say and the right ways to say them. I appreciate that you find language challenging, because it is, because everything manmade is challenging. Including man, including you.

When you sleep on your side, I like to map the constellations between your beauty marks freckles pimples, the minuscule mountains that sprinkle your back. I like the tufts of hair you forgot to shave and the way you smell when you haven’t showered in a while; I like the sleep left in your eyes.
I like the way your skin dies in the middle of the night, how you die from embarrassment the next morning; how you writhe in the snake casing you’ve left behind. I like that you think pillow snowflakes carry more weight than pillow talk; that you think my opinion of you is so fickle that it could change overnight. (It’s not.)
I enjoy seeing you insecure, vulnerable. I like to watch red steam light up your cheeks, a spreading mist of shame when you think you’ve done something unacceptable like missing a step on the stairs or not having the perfect answer to something I’ve said. It’s like you honestly don’t know how wonderful you are, it’s like you have no idea.
The burns, the scars, the black and blues on your face body heart, I want to know their stories. I want to know what hurt you, who hurt you, how bad the damage is. I like your hard, ugly toenails and the layer of fat that lines your belly, the soft parts you try to hide. It’s okay to be soft, sometimes.
I appreciate your ability to get inappropriately angry as much as I appreciate your willingness to apologize afterward. I like how your passion manifests unpredictably and uncontrollably, how your feelings cannot be caged or concealed, how you’re incapable of apathy.
I like how you can’t dance, how you have pedestrian taste in music, how the worst song on every album is your favorite. I like how enthusiastic you are when you hear it, it’s like you don’t know how terrible it is, it’s like maybe how you’re able to love someone like me. (Perhaps that’s your biggest flaw, perhaps that’s the one I love most.)
Your flaws single you out, set you apart, make you different from the rest, and thank god. I don’t just settle foraccept your blemishes, I like them. I like them because they make you human, and humans are easier to love than photographs and illusions and ideals; humans fit more easily between arms and between legs; humans are welcome to their imperfections because if there’s one thing humans can do perfectly, it’s love. Humans can love, they can do it flawlessly.

I Go Photographer

Song

Sorry I haven't blogged lately, I usually have BIM class every other day but TAKS testing is going on, so the schedule is all messed up. An upside of TAKS testing is that I had late start today, so naturally I spent the morning watching The Office and annoying my sister. Oh! I also made some wonderful pancakes for the two of us.

(Left to Right) I put almonds, chocolate chips and pecans in them.

 

And a little cup of Wild Berry Tea. (In the coffee cup my big sister got for me.)
 Can you see that little coffee grain? Yeah those make me really mad. Yuck

My Sea Dress

Sing Song

Just thought I would share the darling dress I got from ModCloth. Adorable.

HAPPY TIMES but sad at the same time

The song for the day

Some great things have been going on around here, Most including buying things. :) I will share them with you all. Reading John Green is the sad part. Good books but make me want to drop out of school and do something with my life. But my parents would never allow it.

Doing garage sale shopping and a bit of Salvation Army.

Going shopping with these two beautiful girls. We made it to Playdo's and Salvation Army but we were cut short before we could get to Urban Outfitters or Buffalo Exchange. Stupid dog pulled trash out of the trash can so we had to turn back. Fortunately I convinced Hannah to let us go to Target before we ended the trip. Which is where I got that dashing backpack.

Meet Empress Sapphire. Totes def the most gorgeous objects
EVER.

WEST SIDE STORY *scream*

Alrighty thank you errybody. See you soon.

Some Boys As Of Late

I actually know the second guy in this first video. My brother's friend from college.

Listen to this one's words. 

I think this is one of Drake's best videos, quite moving.

Don't you just hate it when you fall in love with someone but they just got out of a bad relationship? I know I do... See ya'll later.

We Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

Do Not Forget The Song Song Song

I do not know if anyone can understand how much I love this woman.

Still I Rise 

You may right me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Maya Angelou

I wonder if you enjoy her as much as I do. Hope so.

The Wonders Of This World Will Never Cease

The Song I Got For You
My big brother got me a vinyl record player for my birthday. And some records.

Do you know what this is?

Do you know now?

In case you did not know by now it is the vinyl for Bon Iver's self titled album.

The Police, layer 1.

The record

 I am so happy right now. Have a wonderful day.

To Have Love Is To Have No Fear

song for the day
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
                                            i fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

E. E. Cummings

Forever Alone

 

The song you were waiting for

So I haven't really been able to think of what to blog about. I have like three drafts that I do not know what to do with. I was going to tell you about my shopping trip but I cannot find the cord to connect the camera to the computer. I also like blogging when no one is around that is a rare moment. Excuses excuses.

It was my birthday last Tuesday (March 27th) and I got $300 from my Granny. I have been looking online for some really cool shoes and have been ridiculously unsuccessful. I will show you what I have tried.

These are a perfect price, but they only have 5.5.

Didn't have my size.

At first it was because these were too expensive but then
they went on sale. They just don't have my size.

I'm just having shoe drama, it's pathetic really.

DEUCES.
