I Am Your Opus

About Me

who threw their watches off the roof to cast their ballot for Eternity outside of Time, & alarm clocks fell on their heads every day for the next decade,I'm with you in Rockland in my dreams you walk dripping from a sea- journey on the highway across America in tears to the door of my cottage in the Western night


There are stories of coincidence and chance, of intersections and strange things told, and which is which and nobody knows; and we generally say, "Well, if that was in a movie, I wouldn't believe it.


You can't deal with my infinite nature can you?

You and me, we're at the goldfish pond and I was tagging along for the ride-- all the big mouthed fish really made us laugh. And while I stood still I felt a chill... I thought that maybe you did too; I wanted to feel that way forever

Butterflies are passive agressive and put their problems on the shelf, but they're beautiful. What is beautiful?

I live here on magic mountain. No one leaves magic mountain
How insensitive I must have seemed when he told me that he loved me.
"How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrid, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young. It will never be older than this particular day of June. . . . If it was only the other way! If it was I who were to be always young, and the picture that were to grow old! For this--for this--I would give everything! Yes, there is nothing in the whole world I would not give!"My name is Tove it rhymes with nova but has an "e". I once read the dictionary in 5th grade because everyone took too long to learn their lines. I'm all for making the wrong decision for the right reasons. I currently think that The Defining Human Accomplishment is the question "Why?." Unless I've just woken up, I type in correct english. I sound smarter online than in real life because I have fallen prey to using "like" as an unrecognized part of speech. I love falling in love-- even if it doesn't work out, walking around with a huge grin on my face all day is worth it. My best friends and I will start out sounding like human beings and end up communicating with strange noises. I once memorized Sylvia Plath's "Daddy" and chances are I still have 9/10 of perfectly preserved in my head. I love hugs-- if you hug me when I first meet you chances are good that I'll never forget about you, (unless you scare me, but I probably wouldn't forget you then either). I have trouble concentrating on one thing at a time because I over-multitask; essentially, watching movies with me can be a bitch.
