rainy daze
well it's truly coming to an end. summer, that is. so strange. i have plans for the rest of the week and then after that i think i have to get into like packing/getting ready for school mode. how strange.
well today i work (obviously) until 6 and then i'm not really sure what i feel like doing. i don't think i want to go out but who knows. tomorrow julie and i are going to the aquarium baked out of our skulls. i haven't been there in so long. and it's been even longer for her. i'm excited. although i wish the australian exhibit was open already. they've been building that thing for months. so that will be sweet.
now thursday is questionable. well i work. but i think i might be going to the best of baltimore party with lauren? fill me in, yo :) then friday is sarah's grandmother's service which will be sad. but it's also fran's birthday which will be fun. i was thinking i could try and throw fran a party at someone else's house. like drew's. or something. and then there's always sonar. max wants people to come up to philly for saturday and sunday, but i'm pretty sure everyone refuses. and i'm the one who has to tell him that. he'll yell and shit. whatever.
i think bryan should be home today? (kevin, do you know anything about that) and if that's true i'd like to see him in that schedule sometime too. i hope he remembered the viking helmet i requested. probably not, that guy's a loser.
so i was already sent some freelance opportunities for september, which is sweet because i thought i'd have to wait to get some money rolling in. my dad already paid the first month's rent, but we still have to pay for the furniture in my room. sketchy business, this money thing.
i got to see antonia last night! for the first time in a while. she's at the tail end of a road trip she's been on for the past three weeks. she went to la, washington, montana, chicago, georgia, and other places too i'm pretty sure. she's like sort of in a band with her sister and her sister's friends. it sounds pretty interesting. i'm insanely jealous of the traveling she got to do, although she was exhausted from fitting all that into just three weeks. it made me want to go on a road trip so badly. but i really don't have time, which blows. road trips are made for summers anyway. maybe next summer. although i want to be in new york. great. well whatever.
10 years ago: i was nine. hmm, what grade does that make me? i guess i was about to enter fifth grade. hmm, well fran and i anna were my best friends. i think i got over the fact that anna was now in the picture too. because that took a while for me. cuz fran and i are bros. who knows what we did this summer? probably like random rope swings, maybe went to the y. i really have no clue.
5 years ago: oh jesus. going into sophomore year. this is when carrie and i got really really tight. it was also when bryan jeff and them all went to college so i would only see them on breaks. janine and i were still really tight. i think the fab five was definitely falling apart at this point. but yeah i would definitely say carrie and i were the closest at this point. what happened that summer i wonder. i think a lot of drunken towson nights. with smirnoff and ten car shows. that's most likely accurate.
1 year ago: finishing up my internship at baltimore magazine. going to the best of bmore party with fran on her birthday. about to get ready for school, i imagine i was kind of hesitant about it. joey and i were real good friends at this point. we just went out the two of us and smoked a lot. sarah was scrambling for housing at maryland and i was nervous for her. i was nervous for me, another new roommate and all. umm oh yeah on and off fucking mike, that shit doesn't change.
yesterday: woke up around 8:30ish, got ready, drove to work. worked on an aritcle about a court of appeals case all day. tried to reach people in the attorney general's office and um law school all day. august is a tough month to locate people. finished the article right before deadline. stayed until 6:30 to look it over with editor. drove home, made dinner, watched "cheaper by the dozen" which actually made me cry a lot and therefore come to the conclusion that i am unstable. umm julie and i went to anna's, walked to papermoon, met up with antonia. got coffee/food/talked for a while. we took antonia to her friend's house which is this SWEET apartment near hopkins. like amazing. uhh anna julie and i went to the talking head and had a fairly lame time. then smoked a bowl with julie on the home and talked about god knows what. funny how that's longer than all the others.
tomorrow: see above.
5 snacks I enjoy: grapes, pretzels (esp the mustard kind), wheat thins, baby carrots, and apple slices with peanut butter.
5 bands/artists that I know the lyrics to most of their songs: green day, brand new, bouncing souls, jimmy eat world, nirvana.
5 things I would do with a $100,000,000: oh jeez. buy my dad a house in the country (near the pa line). and probly another karmann ghia for good measure. pay for all my school and all my rent. ohh maybe even buy a nice new house. actually probably take off for a little bit to travel with all my money. most likely clothes. most likely stuff for my friends. umm and whatever i can't think to spend, i'll donate to the fund in my mom's name at the ms society. yip.
5 locations I would like to run away to: anywhere in italy, preferably the tuscan region. any sort of beach type resort type. cross-country road trip would be really sweet right now. i've aaalways wanted to go to australia, so that def. and somewhere in south america, like argentina or chile or something.
5 bad habits I have: biting my nails yeah. umm as of late i'm realizing i suck at remembering commitments. like it's kind of like i'll do whatever the last thing i said i was doing, no matter if there's prior stuff. like i told jackson i would hang out with him when i had to go to the airport. and i told anna i'd go to her house last night when i was supposed to pick up julie. yeah, bad habit. i guess smoking is obligatory here. i'm sort of too comfortable with routine which i hate. and uh oh yeah i spend way too much money.
5 things I like doing: going out to eat (esp to sweet mexican places like arcos), getting high and running errands (or going to the aquarium), swimming in the ocean, watching movies, walking around cities late at night (how safe!), going to happy hours, oh shit, that's more than five.
5 things I would never wear: any sort of vest, white pants, a popped collar, a business suit, those stupid little puffy coats.
5 t.v. shows I like: six feet under, entourage, sex and the city (does that still count?), friends (does that still count?), real world.
5 movies I like: wedding crashers def, the notebook, office space, united states of leland, hotel rwanda
5 famous people I would like to meet: hmm i think i'll take jessie's route: prince william, jimmy fallon, billie joe armstrong, collin farrell, vince vaughn.
5 biggest joys at the moment: my short-term plans, slight excitement for school, planning the sweet lunch i'm gonna get in my head, my friends (i'm a nerd), just the idea of possibility in general.
5 favorite toys: digital camera, my cat-in-a-fishbowl lighter (r.i.p.), playing with cat toys with my cat, playing cards, and um the various goofy hats in my car (i think that counts).
5 favorite books: catcher in the rye, five people you meet in heaven, lovely bones, on the road, the sound and the fury.
