how good it is to finally be alive
dana and anjali are gone. dana's called me twice and emailed me which is very comforting. i guess this is a wake up call that it's going to suck next summer when we're actually going our separate ways for months at a time.
i am seriously in love with this summer. a few nights ago i went to plum garden with kennedy, carlyn, and pat. the 3 of them ate "mega death" hot sauce and it was prrretty entertaining. pat kept saying "my eyes are sweating". we started discussing life at barnes and noble and decided to continue it on to sunday. last night susan and i went to lauren's first show at joe bean in webster and she was soo good. i had no idea her voice would sound like it does, i loved it. i bought the ghost tales cd "in the middle of the sea" for $1 and i've been listening to it non stop. it's so good, the song the last great triumph is my favorite. there's some good music around rochester that i think i should become more familiar with. i went to the mall today and for once i didn't drop $100 on clothes i don't need. i finally hung out with conor & sean and we did fun things like play i spy on the computers in the apple store and sit in massaging chairs at sharper image. dtm's grad party was also tonight which was fun. i got to catch up with sammi (ps julia us 3 are hanging out before you leave) and there were dixie cups!
oh, i got my license on monday. i love having it- it's so much more convenient to be able to just drive myself places and not have to worry about car pooling. i drove at night for basically the first time ever the other night and it was SO scary. i got lost on my way home from kennedy's. you know you're in trouble when you think you're going home and you pass a sign that says "welcome to penfield"... the whole scenario has scarred me temporarily and i think i'll drive at night with one of my parents in the car a few times before i stop being a wuss. does anyone even use that word anymore? anyways, i passed on my first time which made me feel pretty good. people tell me that i'm a slow/safe driver, which makes me sound like a grandma but i least i'm not wreckless and murderous. i'm so bad at merging though, i'm sorry to all of you that drive that might someday have to deal with it.
