"Rainbows, I'm inclined to pursue."

I feel like when you have time to paint your nails, you have a lot of time on your hands.

In my young adult life I'd like to publish a book with "proverbs" drudged up from the depths of the minds of my friends and I. Mostly the short sentences would just be creations of sleeplessness, drunkenness, happiness, all those -ness(sss). Mostly no one would understand them but us and (mostly) we wouldn't care.
Above is a painting of Dame Margot Fonteyn by Claude Francis Barry. Dame Margot spent her entire life with the Royal Ballet. In her eventful life she graced the stage with performances composed by Igor Stravinsky, married a Panamanian Diplomat, staged a coup, appeared on postage stamps and lost her battle to cancer at 71 years of age. She is considered to be one of the greatest ballerinas by myself and thousands of others.

"Genius is another word for magic, and the whole point of magic is that it is inexplicable."
-Dame Margot Fonteyn
