hello friends. though it's only thursday i fear that the end of spring break is already much much closer than i would like. there are so many things i wanted to do which remain undone! we didn't go to the mountain! we didn't go to the beach! i'm feeling mildly discontent for the first time since break began because i'm unsure of what i want to do. so i'm kind of paralyzed. i should clean my room. and work on homework. but i feel kind of... incapable... of doing that. maybe i should sleep more. i've been very tired lately. i suspect that if i try to read that's what will happen. boo needing to do things. i like not... having... responsibility. i need to figure out when we're going to sarah's tomorrow. and what we're doing saturday. tijuana possibly. though i really want to go to the beach. i wanted to go to venice today, but alex needs to do work. and ivy's not back from the lab. and i should probably work too. sigh. oh well.
break has been lovely so far though.
friday- palm tree sunday and bunnybunny and some random punk band played a show at the tiki room in pomona. palm tree sunday is alex's band, he's the lead singer and guitar, muffin plays guitar, sam is bass, sean is drums. bunnybunny is bunny singing and playing guitar and his girlfriend claire on drums. i love claire. she makes me so happy. watching her dance was possibly the best part of the show. anyways, it was good. they put on a fun show, which made me happy. the group of high school punk kids thoroughly amused me. "We hate emo because music shouldn't be a fashion" (whatever you say, mr. anti-flag-tshirt). afterwards, alex and i danced and drank champagne and initiated spring break.
saturday- dennys with ivy and kelly! then adventures with shroomers. a huge group of people took shrooms (bunny, claire, zach, alex, sean, zach ruben, muffin, some other westies i don't know the names of...). really entertaining. we walked around outside and they were just having an amazing time. muffin told me many times that he loved me. claire made me go to the bathroom with her because she was freaking out a little bit. zach and i rolled down a hall together. granted, i wasn't on shrooms... but they were just hilarious. alex started with a small dose and had to take some more before he felt anything.. but he was also pretty entertaining when he started tripping. he got really... nostalgic. he wanted to be by himself for a while and when we finally encountered him again he and i walked off by ourselves and he was literally crying because everything was so beautiful and perfect. the leaves. my hair. this random mug that was sitting in the middle of a walkway. we listened to the beatles and talked and watched videos and laura gave him swedish fish which made him skip and giggle like a little kid. it was really cute. and sweet. we went to albertsons when it was wearing off and by that point either my predisposition to be kinda permastoned or just putting myself in that mindset to understand things all night had gotten to me and i could see that magical sparkle in everything too. it was just kind of a perfect night. we bought food then hung out with people at north by the fire. saw zach, almost passed out in the room all by himself ("welcome to the universe"). went back to scripps, made pasta and drank white wine and felt grown-up in the good ways, not the bad ways.
sunday- spent the morning lying in bed naked, drinking wine and watching the Office. the american version. i'm kind of addicted. i want pam and jim to get together. he loves her so much more than roy ever would. then napped, drove zach to the airport (don't worry- i hadn't had that much wine). went to subway with sam and some westies. came back and got an amazing surprise phone call from MIRANDA. i knew she would be down here but i wasn't expecting to see her til monday. she was in rancho cucamonga and within about 15 minutes her family had dropped her at my door. she brought angie, which was awesome. we snuggled lots. i showed them around. we talked. i introduced her to laura and alex, we watched scrubs. we got in-n-out milkshakes. i had to drive her back to covina at about midnight, but it was so nice to see her. it was like a little piece of home being here. i love my mo. it was wonderful getting to see her. then alex and i played some drinking monopoly which was pretty intense. we stopped halfway. still need to finish the game.
monday- slept late, went to the grocery store and stocked up. had a dinner party with laura, dakota, alex and ivy. laura had hoarded all kinds of stuff from the dining hall so she sauteed spinach, brocolli, chickpeas, carrots, onions, and a whole lot of garlic. we mixed with with some angel hair pasta and feta cheese, made some caesar salad, and drank sparkling cider. it was very civilized and nice. alex and i watched sin city after that. i found it very.... gory and disturbing. i don't know. i didn't really like it. then we hung out with marielle, charles, kevin, and sarah for a while. drank a little. alex and i ate some of THE BEST SALSA IN THE WORLD. la victoria salsa. really, guys. you gotta try it. went on an adventure to academics, the mudd underground network of classes. it's really strange. alex gave me a tour of it. there were a surprising amount of people there considering it was 4:30 in the morning and spring break.
tuesday- got chipotle burritos and ate them on the scripps lawn. decided that the only thing better than a nap on the lawn would be BUILDING A FORT and then napping in it. so we dragged down all the pillows and blankets from my bed as well as the tables from the balcony and built an amazing fort in the middle of the lawn. sam and muffin didn't want to come in, but they chilled outside and muffin played the guitar. that evening i went on another albertson's run with ivy and then went over to mudd and drank with people. kevin was trying to complete a mission. he... succeeded for a little while. then failed miserably. it was pretty entertaining. we went wandering around the 5-Cs and kevin tackled me several times.
wednesday- did very little but lie around. really. we were planning on going to the beach, but we ended up falling asleep and being generally too lazy for it. went to denny's for dinner, ate a huge amount. came back and watched more of the office. tried to do work... failed. watched more of the office, ate more chips and salsa. about then was when i realized that i need my real friends to come back because jim and pam and the entire cast of the office are slowly becoming my new friends.
today- woke up early to 'do work'. 'doing work' turned into me reading 5 pages on the couch and then falling asleep for another 2 hours or so. that's when alex decided he had too much to do to go to the beach today and i'm now sitting here, updating lj... unsure of what to do. i feel so relaxed... i just want to sleep more. i should read though. or go outside and enjoy the sun while we have it at least. we shall see.

heh heh i don't know what's going on here, but i like it
soooo that's been spring break. in all its glory. mostly sleeping, sex, lying around. but i like it. i like it a lot. alex and i have spent a ridiculous amount of time together, but it's been nice. he... makes me happy. and i think, perhaps, that i make him happy as well. guess that's how it should work.
my kelsey is coming to visit soon. i am happy. so happy. mo and kelsey within such a short period of time? how did i get so lucky? angie... didn't you say you might be stopping by? let me know if that's happening. that would be awesome.
mmm spring break. you treat me so well.
kels, i hope this huuuugggeeee update is enough to satisfy you :) i miss you
