carnelian stars like the bars down below / serve only vodka and gin
So, I was going to make a cranky LDR post, but, on second thoughts, perhaps not. I am cranky. At some level I always am. Long-distance relationships suck monkey balls. Don't do them, they're awful and sad.
But. Once again, Shim and I have been together for an integer number of years. During that time we have, inter alia: gone on long walks in the countryside; bought a lot of books; started a small kitchen fire; danced to no music under the moon; eaten pancakes in Amsterdam; run drunkenly down the steps of Sacre Coeur; spent hours looking for a stranger's missing keys in the snow; had screaming rows about nothing in particular; drunk wine on the roof of Lincoln at three in the morning; climbed Arthur's Seat in rain so bad the dye ran from my shoes; spent seven months apart; done a lot of dishes; written letters and emails and instant messages; made faces over Skype; been together.
And here we are. Still keeping on and carrying on.
edit fuck it, I am working out my cranky by listening to the Weepies' entire discography on repeat (I pity my next door neighbour) so now you can too.
The Weepies - Gotta Have You
no amount of coffee / no amount of crying / no amount of whisky / no amount of wine
The Weepies - Can't Go Back Now
you know there will be days when you're so tired you can't take another step
The Weepies - Same Changes
and everyone says this love will change you / well I asked does anything ever stay the same
The Weepies - Painting by Chagall
we live so high above the ground / satellites surround us
The Weepies - Hope Tomorrow
a windy fitful day in winter / charging towards the ides of May

At the moment I love "Antarctica" (such clean, perfect use of imagery!) and "Same Changes" is probably my most favourite (mostly for being right), and the melody in "Painting by Chagall" is fabulous, and oh, well, yeah. I should have listened to them years ago. And apparently they don't tour, like, ever! What's with that.
