last night at a whim i decided to read The Little Prince again. At 3 AM, actually.
it was so brilliant, i concluded everyone should read this book daily. it doesn't take that long. it was shorter than i remember. then again, last time i read it i was 8 years old. since then i've read things like crime&punishment, so really hahah of course it seemed shorter. also, last time i didn't read it in english but german, i don't know if that made a difference.
in any case, i doubt that the first time around i understood even half of the metaphors and shit as this time. yay!?
it's beautiful.. soon i will go and pick out my favourite quotes from it.
and the drawings are so charming.
<3
*dreamy sigh* i think i'm in love~
with the book. *o*
i woke up inexplicably at 8:35, but went back to sleep ...
didn't actually wake up til the usual 1:30PM-time.
then my mom was being depressing.
but then she massaged my feet so it was alright.
that's right, the nerves/ligaments on the top of my right foot have been ailing me since last Thursday... they feel pinched and ouchy and sensitive :(
whyyyy????
massages and exercise hopefully will help eventually.. but it doesn't seem to be getting better.
and today, oh my god today i'm the most accident-prone loser...
i hit my left knee REALLY HARD on this clunky metal exercise contraption. luckily i was wearing pants, else i'd have been gushing blood and probably split muscles and fuck knows what else... but there's a 1cm-wide, 2-inch-long red mark/scratch and it's a swollen bump. bitch.
then at B&N i got a papercut from picking up a book. -_-
later, i hit my right knee really hard on a plastic box(?) and that's gonna bruise for sure.
last night i watched a movie called Ghost Town ... it was funny. i laughed.
yesterday my parents and i went to the Karabegovic fam's place. hung out pool-side. fun times. then little Selma took me to her room and showed me her tinkerbell castle, and oawihetapoweth her room is so pretty and colourful and sparkly and full of cute, amazing things!!! like the teapot/flower purse! and the rainbow butterfly mobile!! and the sparkly rainbow butterfly colourchanging nightlight!! and the two-headed chinadoll pillow. thing. Selma, bright kid that she is, soon figured out my affection for shiny things, and kept asking, "Do you want me to show you something else shiny?" and of course i would say "yes" and then she'd go looking for more shiny things to show me. what a dear :3 then we watched/interacted with Dora the Explorer. if it wasn't so slow, it would actually be truly entertaining.
today i went to Desert ridge with Megan from jpnese class. it was the first time we actually hung out successfully outside of ASU in a while, because we always seem to be in different cities hahah. anyway, that was fun~
i initially started this post with the intention of waxing poetic about deep philosophical rants and the end of the world and everything but... i guess that didn't happen.
ah! Tiny Masters of Today is a great little band . . it's like .kid punk, ... well they're a bro/sis duo, bro is 15, sis is 13 !! and their first album came out two years ago so... they would've been 13 and 11 !! wtf!
it's not necessarily musical genius but .. there's something to be said for precocious punk kids making cute catchy scream-along punk music.
i like.
i also have been listening a lot to:
Bloc Party [Silent Alarm Remixed album & Intimacy album]
Teriyaki Boyz [i just dl'ed today and i also like]
kpop stuff ~
The Cure [Disintegration album]
the Horrors [Primary Colours album] (they sound much like the Cure here, that's why)
Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack
Green Day [21st Century Breakdown album] (i haven't gotten fully into it, but by their show in August, i'm sure i will ;D)
SuG (i really adore this band)
Lady Gaga ..
stuff stuff stuff
fuck i need a job.
any ideas where else i should apply? i've tried the higher-scale places i wanna work.. ulta, dsw, the bookstores, costplus .. none of them will hire me, i don't think.. and i asked at Wet Seal and was told they have a full staff but are accepting applications. of course you're accepting applications, dumbfuck! but i asked if you were HIRING, bitch. could've just said simply NO.
where else??? JoAnn maybe? or will i have to settle for movie theatre or grocery store?
perhaps walgreens?
blaaaa~
i also want to go see Depeche Mode :( :( really badly some reason....
but until i get a job, i don't think i should buy ticket...
though i do have the money...
bye
P.S. thought i should note somewhere my lovely trip to the park the last Saturday. it was cloudy and cool day, it was sprinkling as i walked, and it was beautiful. the grass in the park was greener than i'd ever seen it. there were 392385 dandelion things (but the not-yellow ones.. the ones you blow) . and i blew a lot of them about.
there were also pretty purple flowers everywhere..
there was a gang of misfits in the desert shrubbery at the edge of the park.. one kid was kicking another. but the one being kicked didn't seem to mind. i wonder why.
there was a dad with his little twin(?) daughters playing on the slides. the girls were so cute.
there were three highschool guys throwing a football around. then they went away and came back with a baseball and a baseball bat and did that.
there were several dog-walkers.
there was a highschool couple carrying burger king take-out bags.
there were two highschool girls being obnoxiously loud.
and that's that.
i plucked a mini-bouquet of yellow, pink, and purple flowers on the way back.
