i swished in my favourite skirt down to nex after a glass of wine at hollv yesterday to catch Perks Of Being A Wallflower- so good :`) although as always, movies can never fully flesh out characters/the plot in the way a book can due to sheer logistical difficulties. what i loved though was that i got to see some of my favourite/most poignant scenes in the book in its cinematic brilliance. i thought the movie encapsulated the essence of the book, celebrating the joys and elucidating the pains of growing up, showcasing the common emotions dressed differently in everyone's lives.

infinite moments:

-we are driving back from a day out in Sydney's blue mountains, a stranger turned friend shows us where he and his friends go to get high/drunk/muck around- a grassy bank on the yacht docks and the glittering Sydney skyline beyond the river. it is a cold night and we left our coats in the car, the chill made me feel like i had never been more alive. my neck ached from holding the pose but still my gaze was fixated on the inky darkness of the night and the plethora of stars above our heads. also, sitting on freezing metal benches in front of the Opera House, marveling at the river's sights, wondering what lies opposite it and feeling very small on the cosmic scale.

- yakking, giggling and running about at an abandoned bus interchange at 2 am in the morning. lying on the top floor of an open-air carpark, feeling the chill from the cold stone floor steep into my skin.

- riding shotgun on a hazy sunny afternoon after brunch at a quaint restaurant, listening to John Mayer Live in LA and "the cry of his guitar" (which is on repeat as i write this)

- the lights turn green and the snap decision to race across the road with my best friends, then waiting for the rest to catch up. knowing that this is a group i want to keep in my life.

my dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
