librarians please add an “ordinary fucking people” tag to your romance search options on Libby; i don't want to read about a viral internet star or an heiress thanks

the next time i find someone attractive? it will probably be the same exact shit

the last time i thought someone was attractive, we were snuggled together in a queen-sized bed at a bed&breakfast in apple country, and they were playing some music from youtube on their laptop and softly singing along, and i looked up at their face and could just see every part of them reflected there

and they smelled like ginger snaps, or maybe that was the ginger snaps we picked up from safeway the day before

people who think i’m pretty? i think they’re full of shit

remember when i wrote

[matches [regexp-match "^((.)\\2*)(\\s*\\{(?:\\\\\\}\\\\|[^}])*(?:\\\\\\}\\\\|[^\\\\}]|\\\\(?!\\}\\\\))\\}\\s*)?(.*?)\\2*(\\s*\\{(?:\\\\\\}\\\\|[^}])*(?:\\\\\\}\\\\|[^\\\\}]|\\\\(?!\\}\\\\))\\})?\\s*$" trimmed]]

i long for those days
