We’re gunna be different
and we’re gunna be good
we need to have faith so we don’t think what would
come on come on take me and sing
we’re about to change everything.

I love these. (Also did not realize that some of them were photos)
(Although can I express how much I would not mind a trans* woman also being included? Is that an ok thing to want to see? .__. )
You’d make a great Rosie, and I’ve got a camera… not that we don’t know a professional photographer or two.
Missed you at SPWF, BTW…

The Postal Service - Such Great Heights
I am thinking it’s a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they’re perfectly aligned…
They will see us waving from such great
Heights, ‘come down now,’ they’ll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
‘come down now,’ but we’ll stay…
