Maybe updating this badboy will become a regular habit of mine again.
Well first of all, the trip to New Paltz was amazing. I met Cai at Penn Station, found Sylvia aboard the Metro-North, then met Laura and Kristy in Westchester. It was a lot of traveling. I think my heart exploded when we arrived on campus. Sitting in the theater was completely overwhelming. Allison's play was really good. And at the risk of sounding like a big cliched dork, it really was like we never left. I could look around and see all the places we had sat in that theater and all the things we'd done. It was a really... needed vacation. Haha.
But in terms of my life back home, I am loving Summer 08. This is the first year that I haven't had a camp or some kind of thing to attend every day. I thought I would be bored and restless but I LOVE it. I also don't even have a job because the more time goes by, the harder and harder it gets to find one. By now its near impossible, I'm leaving in what, a month? I hope my money from previous jobs/gift graduation money will hold me over until I go away.
My mom threw me a family grad party this weekend. I always anticipate a day with the family being agonizing, but it really wasn't. It was really sweet actually, I enjoyed it.
I go to the gym pretty religiously now. And I like it. How funny.
You know what's different about me recently? I started wearing jewlery. I've always been afraid of wearing jewlery my whole life, because I have this idea that I shouldn't have nice things. I break them, I lose them, I look silly when I wear them. But my mom insisted on buying me this silver heart bracelet and a pink topaz ring for my graduation, and I wear them all the time. And lo and behold, I love it. Since then I've been indulging my Impulse Buys for the sake of encouraging my creativity slash sense of self expression. For example, I bought a completley un-necessary $6 winky face necklace at Contempo yesterday. And by un-necessary I mean totally awesome because now every time I see people I'm all like ;D.
And you know what else I'm wearing today? A denim mini skirt! That's right, I'm one hot bitch now.
I'm almost embarassed to admit this: I've been the biggest dork for the last few days. In my downtime when I'm just hanging on the computer, I've been youtubing the most blast from the past shit. Like videos of Norbert Leo Butz (while fanning myself with my hands), or oldschool Wicked stuff. Right now I'm listening to Idina Menzel doing My Strongest Suit. Why? Haha.
In any event, about some stuff I wrote in the last entry: I've been trying to give myself a break recently. I don't know the cause of all that stuff, but hopefully the feeling passes. There must be a reason why I'm experiencing that all of a sudden. I know it's all in my head. I don't know, I don't have much more to say. I'm working on it.
But all in all, I'm having a really amazing time so far. I wanna keep going different places and seeing more people.
In the course of my travels today I learned that the trick to being more beautiful is looking at yourself in the mirror and saying aloud "I am 20% more beautiful than I feel." And it'll be true. So there's that secret, in case you wanted to know.
