well

it has been a few days since i reflected on myself, so i believe now is as good a time as any.

i cannot put into words how frustrating the weather has been. i love rain storms, i wait all summer for them...and right when the promise of one comes, it just disappoints me. we have yet to have a fantastic storm. and so maybe when i am in Florida, on (crossing fingers) a day when i am not going to the parks, say on the Orlando Mall day or so, i hope i get to see the sky light up with electrostatics.

that's another thing! i am so beyond excited for vacation. to get out of this town and see some new faces. watch some fireworks from the white sand beach and eat some of the sweetest fruit you have ever tasted. i love going on vacation, i just hate saying goodbye to my cat. is that not the saddest thing you have ever heard, or what? you do not have to call me pathetic, i already know.

i have been spending some much needed time with my friends lately. i am pretty content in the knowledge that they are God's gift.

i guess that is all for now, i want to save some of this precious material for a day when i cannot think of anything else to say. hopefully i can go to IKEA soon, i really crave some sparkling pear juice.

Tschau Wiedersehen.

titanic evening

so whenever i watch titanic i try to find some type of distraction once the water starts pouring in. it cuts the emotion for the most part, but really it doesn't. that's right, i am lying to you. i start crying as soon as people start hitting the water. there is no preventing it. but it gets me to thinking...why was i so obsessed with this movie when i was a child? was i sick or what? i was so interested in anything that had to do even the slightest with Titanic. the actual ship and otherwise. i think it explains a lot about my personality now. it helped to develop my strange sense for the sadness in history. my favorite things are the depressing things. i don't know why, but it makes the better, brighter days seem so much more special...remembering the sadness.

red sam

every fourth of July i wonder how many more years i will be in this country.

i think the numbers are severely dwindling. anyway. i haven't tried the west coast yet. or Florida. maybe i will move to Orlando, and work at Disney world. i love it there...so much.

which reminds me. i will be there in just a few weeks, which means the excitement is building. i really hope this time surpasses the last on the fun scale. honestly, it would be horrible if this trip ended up being a disappointment too. i would probably kill someone. but i am not going to let that trip go down in history as worse ever like last year.

"never again is what you swore the time before."

anyway, so for now. until i find an urge to speak again,
fireworks, purple mountains, waving gang flags, rodeos, McDonald's, obesity, crayon factories, mickey mouse, NASCAR, hard rock....i guess what i am trying to say is...

Happy Birthday America.

summertime and the living is easy.

i have thankfully resorted back to my primary schedule of staying awake until 2:30 in the morning and sleeping until 11:00. i believe it is the best way to enjoy life.

at any rate, I Love Lucy and peanut butter toast make an excellent wake up call, and it may not seem extraordinary to some, but it is beautiful to me. no stress, no commitment, i am living up the last moments of "summer vacation" i have left. before scary college villains whisk me away.

it is ridiculously hot outside. i find it vital to note that for the past three days, it has been hotter here than in Los Angeles. and i would much rather suffer the heat in a place that deserves it where you would expect it to feel like you are walking on the SUN, than in a place where it should never be this hot. what happened to insulation from the beach? what happened to coastal breezes and cooling nights? gone are the days my friends when you could go out and not melt your face off. and if you are going outside, it is a veritable Olympic dash from the front door to the car door in my opinion, that is, if you want to keep your skin before it bursts into flames. even in shorts and a tank i am ripping at my skull from the microwave feel outside... i think its my hair. it attracts so much sunlight, that it practically burns your fingerprints off when you touch it. if ever you kill someone, just come touch my scalp. it will probably scorch you to safety.

anyway, please know i do not condone criminal behavior, nor will i assist in any Risky Business, even if you are Tom Cruise. haha.

anyway, in other news, i was just looking at my nails. i decided to paint them a color other than clear....and now i am happy to report that they are kelly green. i bought the varnish because it was named SAN FRANCISCO, but i like to think it was a hint at emerald city. i guess if someone were to ask me what my favorite color is right now, i would say emerald.

so dear reader, until i change the color of my nail polish, have a fabulously Green Day. pwhaha. (yes, i went there)
