(no subject)
Well, I practiced clarinet today. About the fourth time since summer started, so I'm really behind. Also behind on health homework. Gah. I feel incredibly like a teenager right now. I'm sitting here in a SKIRT, updating a livejournal, and I spent half an hour on the phone earlier tonight. The skirt part in particular is really throwing me off. It's long and red, and the only reason I own it is so I can wear it in Costa Rica, but still it's a skirt! I don't think I've ever worn a skirt unless it was for something fancy or playing dressup. So weird to have one now.
Anyway, I realized I'm really obsessed with The Producers (the musical movie version). I've seen it four times in the past two weeks because we have it out from netflix, and the songs refuse to get unstuck from my head for more than a few minutes at a time. Right now I have "Springtime for Hitler" stuck in my head, and it's annoying the crap out of me.
Speaking of movies, I really want to see Imagine Me & You. I just watched the trailer, and it looks really good. I'm such a sucker for light and fluffy romantic comedies (they're a guilty pleasure) and this one actually seems to have developed characters and a plotline. Also it's about lesbians (well technically one lesbian and one bi woman), which, for reasons I won't go into now, seems to be becoming a repeating theme in my life.
But I can't see movies at all for a while, because the day after tomorrow I'll be going up to Pipestone (that's a lake in Canada). My family goes up there every summer, and it's my absolute favorite place in the world. There's no electricity, no running water, no other people (well, very few) and no stress. And it's beautiful and interesting without being actually dangerous. There are a few bad memories there, like almost drowning a couple times and cutting my head open on a rock, but Pipestone still manages to be the best place in the world for me. I'm excited to be going there, but it's also kind of sad, because when I get back I'll only have ten days left in Minneapolis. Then I go to Miami, and from there to Costa Rica. And once I'm there, I'm not coming back for six months (January 8th is when I'm supposed to return to the US). I'm really sad about all the stuff I'll be missing: Laura going off to college, school starting, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and half a school year (particularly Wind Ensemble). Plus all the stuff people do and say, including seeing the Schlatter's play and playing God Save the Queen at the Homecoming football game. It's just sad.
Damnit! I told myself I was going to be upbeat and happy for this entry. So I guess I'll end with something more positive.
YAY! I'm going to Costa Rica soon!
