cabinet of curiosities

i got a new bookshelf.
by which i mean my mother bought a new cabinet at an estate sale, didn't want it, and offered it to me in exchange from my desk. i agreed to the swap because i think it's adorable, even if it's top drawer smells profusely of parchment. which is weird, but oh well.
the cabinet is meant for displaying commemorative dishes or porcelain plates from china (made circa 1763 or something, maybe before then, whenever it was that the chinese had the secret of how to make porcelain and no one else did).
but instead of dishes with niagara falls on them or prettily painted porcelain i am putting all of the books that currently reside on the surface of my desk in the cabinet. plus some weird nicknacks i've collected throughout the years, so there you go. 
the title has been explained.
in the process of moving books i have also gotten, like, three spider/mosquito/mystery bites. thankfully i'm too sleepy to have a panic attack. 
also it is far too late early in the morning for capitalization. fuck that shit.
 future me is probably experiencing regrets about the lack of proper capitalization. well, whatever future me.
you'll be fine.


so! here we go!

music!

"would you go with me" by josh turner
so, i often stuff notes, b-day cards, and other papers of importance in between books. i found a lot of stuff tonight and one thing was a typed letter addressed "To my good friend Rachelle, who has found the way," and was signed in windings, but, because of the writing in between, we'll just take a wild stab in the dark and - aha! i have accidentally stabbed a trisha.
how it ended up in my room i have no idea, though it had been next door neighbors to a map of the paris metro and two birthday cards from when i turned four. idek.
but anyway, the note was comprised of quotes and a line from this song was one of the quotes and the only reference i couldn't figure out. thank you google.

rating: fuck this song is cute, omg cute, now i will attempt to sing along - oh god how does your voice go that deep?

"oh dear!" by good for grapes
rating: instrumentssss - let's dance and spin around a camp fire

"forever" by walter meego
rating: yes, yes good

"runaway" by mr little jeans
rating: what kind of band name is that?, more awkward dancing than book moving happening

i also listened to ridiculous things which i won't post here because they are very silly. like, "call me maybe" was included, the opening song to the film boondock saints made an appearance, as did the incredibly sexy female cover of "whatever you like"... which, actually, if you're unfamiliar with the anya marina version you should probably go listen to it and possibly swoon a bit. or maybe it's just me lol.


so i started proofreading this. why do i allow myself access to the internet this late? i'm at the point where if i keep fixing shit i'll just delete everything so i'm gonna just post it.

apologies for excessive obnoxiousness. 

i love you all, darlings
