My name is Caitlin and I like when people know how to use their eyebrows (i.e. those who move them excessively, but not necessarily intentionally so). I write plays because it makes sense for me, or rather it helps me to make sense of things. I guess there's a lot of things that I'm trying to make sense of.

“Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners,” by the Foo Fighters

This instrumental really makes their last album what it is, I think.

Diana Ross & The Supremes
The past couple of weeks I’ve noticed artists who have stood out because their music invaded my senses (or emotions) that week. Last week my personal artist of the week was Public Enemy. This week it’s a tie: artist of the week number one goes to these fine ladies.

"That night in the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling the we had come home, feeling no longer alone, waking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away; all other things were unreal. We slept when we were tired and if we woke the other one woke too so one was not alone. Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others. It has only happened to me like that once. I have been alone while I was with many girls and that is the way you can be most lonely. But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together. I know that the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started. But with Catherine there was almost no difference in the night except that it was an even better time. If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."

— Ernest Hemingway (A Farewell to Arms) (via jw-jones)

Hemingway always makes me drool.

I like the sound of that

It’s November and I’ve got windows open and I’ve been walking around outside with this short little dress on. What is happening here? It’s 70 degrees and I like it like that!

Just recently looked at a map of London and realized that I’m going to be living only several blocks away from Abbey Road studios. Now I know where I’m going to go when I feel sad or homesick—I’ll go watch all the people try to walk across the crosswalk for a picture and nearly get hit by cars.

Last week I was thinking a lot about the Lord of the Rings movies and this week I’ve been thinking a lot about Kevin Bacon. Yesterday the two collided and I thought, “Wait a minute, what if they put Kevin Bacon in the Lord of the Rings?” This made me laugh out loud to myself. I told Carly about that today and she said that he could take Liv Tyler’s spot.

You wouldn’t believe how many people have told me that they think I’m “anti-mainstream” and I think that’s bull shit. For the past twenty-four hours I’ve had the last Foo Fighters album playing in my car. I really, genuinely enjoy the Foo Fighters even though I’m a supposed “nonconformist,” (whatever the hell that even means anymore) and I’m a Nirvana fan (and apparently it’s against the rules to be a fan of both?). There’s another one: Nirvana, I like love Nirvana! Anyway, I think that the Foo Fighters are a good ole American popular rock band. I think that they’re music is really satisfying: it’s a perfect balance of energy, sentiment, and melody. And, frankly, I think that Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace is their best album because it displays all these things and, while I think the Grammy Awards are totally bogus, I think they deserved the Best Rock Album award that they got for that one, but that’s just my opinion. All in all, I think they’re a talented group of guys who use their talents to make really good, reliable hits. And, hey, I love ‘em for it! Feels good to get that off my chest.

I wouldn’t say I’m anti-mainstream and I wouldn’t say I’m mainstream, I’m my own stream. I’m Caitlin-stream.

"I would compare the short story to a guerrilla action—you hit your target and then you’re out of there—but a novel is an invasion."

1) I fucking love this song. It’s goofy and the movements it causes my body to do are likewise.

2) Those were good years when this was my ring tone.

I watched Tremors an absurd amount of times when I was younger and ever since then I’ve had a fondness for Kevin Bacon. Yeah, that’s never gonna quit.
