(no subject)
Today was really good. Matt and I went to the Franklin Institute all day with our little cousins and then to Chinatown. For some reason I've never seen the heart exhibit there, which I was informed has always been there. Where the fuck have I been? There was a special exhibit about animation and the process etc that was really cool. Matt and I made a hilarious video in the stop time exhibit where they take 14 frames of you and then play them together where it looked like Matt punched me in slow motion. There was also this part about Foley Actors, which are the people who make the paper scrunching noises and stuff in cartoons, where you had to make the noises for this short animation with some items that were laid out for you. Instead, Matt and I voiced over the animation into the microphone a la those GI JOE things and the result was HILAARRIOUS. I think we were just talking about crack the whole time, which in combination with cartoon characters is automatically ball bustingly funny.
Uhh, we went up to Philly again later on to play four square in Rittenhouse Square with Jimmy and a bunch of Philly kids. It was actually really fun. Like the parking garage daysof yestersummer! Later on we chilled back at Jimmy's place for a little while before driving home.
Lauren and I went out after that to Tom Jones for some greasy diner food and conversation. It was niiice as always. We ate so much narsty food but it tasted soo gooood. I'm so glad we're still tight after all these years. I really want her to figure out what she wants to do, set her mind to it, and go for it cause I know she can (:
I've just been thinking lately about how freaking excited I am to go back to school and learn and party and stay up allll night with the uva crew. I'm anxious to see what's gonna happen.
I gave some thought about turning 20 tonight with Lauren also. I feel like, though I never defined myself or anyone for that matter by age, letting go of the label of 'teenager' is really something empowering. I think especially with my trip to S.A. in the months before, when I turn 20 I'll actually feel much more mature. Which is not to saying I'll stop being silly or laughing at fart jokes, I think I can just turn on the maturity with more ease now (if that makes any sense) and I feel like I've gained much more of a sense of independence from being on a different continent doing everything for myself for almost 2 months. Something completely different than the 'independence' you have in college.
I dunno, I guess it'll be cool to be a year closer to 21, eh.
It's also pretty crazy that there is less than 2 weeks left of summer...
memo tomyself, this is a revised list of some things to do:
-dim sum
-sonicvision
-nyc
-kop mall
-bwine creek state park
-see mrs.mcmillon & yuki
