Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

Log in to replyGood entry.
This is perfect advice. Just today I was thinking about turning my life into a movie. I was literally narrating my life as I walked from class to class like they do in the beginnings of movies! …..I’m so weird. ha ha
Log in to replyDefinitely the last one :D
Log in to replyQuirky Indie Dramedy is totally me. Just like, everything about it. (y)

Log in to replyOMG! The “Quirky Indie Dramedy” stuff is ACTUALLY MY LIFE!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! I love this.
Log in to replyapparently I should be in a “supernatural romance” movie. damn it!! I’d rather be modernized Shakespeare, it reminds me of my high school.
Log in to replyI love the ’80s movies! Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Breakfast Club, Say Anything! They make me wish I lived in the ’80s.
Log in to replyI’d totally be 80s Brat Pack. Breakfast Club is enormously an important movie in my life<3 haha also I do love myself a Quirky Indie ;D

Log in to replyi’m loving the site, keep up the good work!
Pretty sure I’d be living in an indie coming of age movie.
Log in to replyThat probably makes me sound pretentious, but I’m just so quirky that I don’t give a damn. Now please excuse me while I wear a peacoat while listening to The Smiths.
NECESSARY ADVICE thx.
Log in to replyI lead a Harold & Maude appreciation life.
Log in to replythis is pretty much win.

Log in to replyYou’re actually a psychic <3
I lost it at Shakespeare for sure!
Log in to replyThis is just brilliant, what else could I say? I think my coming of age movie would’ve been a mixture of Indie and Shakespeare, as weird as it sounds in my head right now…
But the last one’s definitely the best.
Log in to reply“We’re from different socioeconomic groups and we’re dancing”, my face hurts from smiling :(
@Pashupati – He’s from Submarine, which is directed by Richard Ayoade from the IT Crowd and so is therefore automatically brilliant.
