short.

this is the third time i've come to this website today, with something to say and then fallen short when it came time to type it all out.

i saw "nick and norah's infinite playlist" today and something one of the guys in nick's band said really stuck in my head: Look, other bands, they want to make it about sex or pain, but you know, The Beatles, they had it all figured out, okay? "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The first single. It's effing brilliant, right?... That's what everybody wants, Nicky. They don't want a twenty-four-hour hump sesh, they don't want to be married to you for a hundred years. They just want to hold your hand.

maybe the reason i remember it so vividly is because it's about the beatles. but i'd like to think it's because it's got a lot of truth behind it. (not the song being their first single, that's not true, but the rest of it is). maybe the reason i've had so much trouble in the love department is because i've been so focused on looking for the biggest part of it: someone to love unconditionally and be with for a good long run. i haven't looked for someone to just hold hands with. i didn't think i would need someone who isn't in it for the long run, but maybe someone who will make my life more enjoyable for just a short while is enough for now.

at the moment, i just want someone to hold hands with.
