& I will help you keep your smile, promise me you'll stay a while.



This song is just so ahh. I love it.

The other day the best friend and I visited the Museum of Contemporary Art in the city. Neither of us consider ourselves particularly 'arty', but I think that made it even more interesting. I suppose it did get a bit tiresome hearing him say, "I don't get it" all the time, but we still had fun exploring and learning together. I don't have many photos from the museum because, being the goose that he is, the best friend took more photos of me than of any artworks or scenery.



This was made from aluminium cans the artist had collected.


This was one of my favourites: mirrored strips hanging from the wall, sending ripples of light swimming across the floor.


Another of my favourites. I just loved the different shapes and sizes and textures and designs and the way the shadows  overlapped and multiplied across the wall.



After the museum, we had lunch (Tuna Subway and a chocolate frappe from McDonald's) and bought some shoes for me, because I can never seem to have enough.



Black open-toe wedge heels, Rubi Shoes ($5)

One of the most amusing features of the day was the best friend's skinny jeans, and his self-consciousness about them. He has never, ever worn them before. Luckily for him, they weren't too tight because otherwise I would have made him change anyway. :P Actually, I made him change anyway, into outfits assembled by me hehe. He wasn't too pleased with modelling them but he is such a good sport. And at least he walked away with some free shirts (I gave him some of my ones he tried on). Besides, he knows I love him no matter what he wears. :)


This one makes me laugh so much. Don't worry, he was only posing like that as a joke.

After dress ups, we had a dance party in the hallway, had din dins, then watched Merlin episodes till 1 am with Daddy-o. Needless to say, we were tired the next day so we just chilled at home, watching more Merlin episodes, looking up old favourites on Youtube, eating lunch all rugged up in blankets, wrestling, riding scooters around the back deck, pretended we were magic, etc. It was so sad to watch him leave in the afternoon, but I got to see him at Institute that night, after his mission prep class. :D
The Old Testament class I usually attend was really good last night (Isaiah 29); we talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and the last days. There seemed to be a lot of people away, though. At least I didn't feel bad for sticking by the best friend's side the whole night (usually I have to tear myself away so he can have time with other people, and so I can talk to my friends/others who need me). We are so silly sometimes. We made shadow puppets on the projector screen that the teacher had left on. We invented a special way to hold hands. We played tag as if we were the only two in the room, weaving through people and chairs like they were just part of our game. Sometimes we are so childish and probably seem naive to others, but when we talk about the gospel, when we read scriptures and pray together, when we discuss our plans and our goals an our dreams, when we think about how to help our friends, I know that we aren't really. I realise how blessed I am to have someone who takes me as I am and who knows he can be himself around me. We don't pretend to be anything we're not (except sorcerers and sandwiches and dragons, etc. of course).
