“I hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick,
it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you’re always right,
I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh,
even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you’re not around,
and the fact that you didn’t call.

But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you,
not even close,
not even a little bit,

not even at all.”

10 Things I Hate about You,
from “10 Things I Hate about You”, 1999.

“If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.”

Oscar Wilde.

Don’t be too long?

I would very much like to have shaken Mr. Wilde’s hand, he seems an awfully interesting, vivacious, audacious character. We would have been fast friends, I’m certain!

I cannot wait to see the sea,
Exams are killing me.
Summer, the beach, being carefree!

I’m struggling to breathe at the moment. Eep.
