"ONE THING I AM NEVER GOING TO DO WHEN I GROW UP
Is fall in love, drop out of college, learn to subsist on water and air, have a species named after me, and ruin my life." - Nicole Krauss: The History of Love

The Way To Travel.
I love trains. I'm not really sure why, as travelling always makes me really tired and I tend to complain no end after going on a journey anywhere, but I really love trains. I always try my best to get a window seat, and I love watching the world blur past, especially in the summer when the fields are green and the sky is a really clear blue. I was on a train today, and the journey back in the early evening was one of those lovely train journeys. The carriage was full, but it was quiet, with everyone reading books or typing away on their laptops. I sat and stared out of the window, at the view that can be seen in the pictures below, and was a little sad when the journey came to an end.
introspective, adj. having the quality of looking within; examining into one's own thoughts, feelings, or mental condition, or expressing such examination. (OED)
A little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothing.
Snack food in vast quantities. A large cup of tea, 2 sweeteners. Loud music, long books and late nights. Black and white movies, rain storms, big sunglasses, painted nails and a never ending 'to read' list.
