'your tie is crooked.'

different ways to say ‘i love you’..

❝That’s the least of my problems at this point.❞

He gripes, though he looks down and begins to struggle with it immediately. At least his hair was alright he supposed, this time of night keeping up appearances was an uphill battle and there really wasn’t anyone to look good for. He’d fallen into a pit of contempt.

It wasn’t as though Sal didn’t like parties. He loved them, especially if there were a couple of broads and some form of entertainment other than droning around and talking. That was the exact opposite of the shindig he’d wormed his was way into today. It was a purely business event, a obnoxious stuffy ball-type affair full of washed up stars and old Hollywood types. His mother had dropped him at the door and told him to cozy up to some casting directors or not come home at all. He knew she was mostly joking but she hadn’t exactly specified when she’d get back.

It was late. Too late for his liking. He had to finish Wuthering Heights by Monday and it didn’t look like he was going to get to. Especially since he couldn’t find anyone to hitch a ride with and even Natalie had abandoned him an hour previous. He was pretty sure his mom assumed he’d take the bus but they’d stopped running and there was no way in hell he was walking home in the cold during the middle of the night. The venue was nearly empty though the arduous bossa nova played on and several b-list stars were taking advantage of the open bar.

i guess … i’m just naturally bad. no good in me at all. 

you’re a great guy.

‘trouble’ is a mild word for it.

when i was your age and pulled a stunt like that, i was spanked.

❝He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced–or seemed to face–the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.❞
