school's out foreverrrr

well, kinda.

either way, i've been celebrating as if i will never step foot in a classroom again.

i have been on the liquid diet since thursday afternoon and my poor body -and liver, are crying.

i have pictures from one of the nights but am in no state to resize them at the moment.

there's a good chance my neighbors now hate me.

i don't know how it started.  especially bc out of everyone, my place happens to be the one w the worst parking!  but somehow, i have been the host of loads of drunken college grads and non-college grads along for the ride, all using my house as their pre-party, post-party and crash zone.

it has definitely been fun.

it reminds me of life when i first moved out.

at this point i am wondering when everything will settle down again.

return to my, at times, boring, normal lifestyle.

melanie called me tonight informing me she was in 'party boat hell.'

soooo glad i skipped out on that situation even though i really couldn't have gone if i wanted to due to other shit going on.

mel, i hope you survive, remember you don't have water wings.

if you make it, as promised, i will drive up and go out w you tomorrow.

eh, i really have nothing to update, it had just been a while.

picture post next.

death before swimwear

is generally my motto come sunny days and 90 degree weather.

but this year.

this year i've decided to do things differently.

not hide inside.

enjoy the sun & water like i did growing up.

well what better way to get excited about summer than with some new swimwear to be equally if not more excited about?

until today i had been nothing but disappointed. 

none of my reliable stores have had anything bolder than vanilla.

i'd convinced myself there was no hope and settled with a simple target suit--which you can never go wrong with by the way.

but alas, i have come across a little website specializing in swim wear--re invigorated my excitement for summer.

so far there are 5 that i need to own before my coats come back out.

(here are my favs)

Bo

Romi

Golf Print Bustler

BK 1669

Courtney

...and if i've found this many i like on this one website then i have hope that there will be others too. maybe i'll just wear swimsuits all day everyday this summer.

nooo, i wouldn't do that to you.

fly on the wall

While getting ready to go for my mandatory run, the breeze outside my bathroom window picked up on a neighbor's frustrated voice.

it's not that i am into eavesdropping, but instead that i welcome any excuse to distract me from beginning my workout.

Amidst the powerful muse anthem, "YOU AND I MUST FIGHT FOR OUR RIIIIIGHTS, YOU AND I MUST FIGHT TO SURVIIIIIIIIVE..."

I hear the familiar voice of a 20 something male neighbor who resides in the building next door.

I've heard his conversations numbers of times before.

Most often it is not just his voice but the voice of a female as well, "baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabe, how much pasta do you want?"

"baaaaaaaaabe" "baaaaaaaabe."

today his was joined by the muffled grunts of another male.

"It's just, it's just fuckin' bullshit.  It's bullshit.  I've never loved someone before.  It's always been easy.  It's not easy when you fucking love that person."

(then the ego boost) "I could get other girls, lots of girls like me--i'm sooo sick of that 'other chicks in the sea' bullshit..."

He rambles on and on while his friend mostly listens.

"maybe you should just try to move on" his friend finally suggests

"NO. NO. Fuck that.  I can't just MOVE ON.  Either shelby and i have to work it out-and we should! --or, or, i just have to wait til i'm over shelby and can get close to some other dumb bitch i won't care about"

in addition to the music it sounds like he's making lunch-a microwave dinner.

clearly this dude's a mess.

the microwave door is slammed shut and you hear some cups rattle. 

ohh shelby, whoever you are, you've cast a spell on this bro and he's hurting bad.

i can hear you criticizing me now

but i'm going to admit it anyway.

i kinda like the new coldplay song.

mostly, i like the fact that they're giving it away for free on their website right now.

i have been partaking in lots of retail therapy this past week.

light weight scarves & ruffled skirts. gladiator sandals and dresses. faded tops. purses. 

dvds.

books.

groceries.

things i have no business spending money on but didn't really care.

it's weird, my instincts stop me from spending money i don't have on finding out what's wrong w my ac and from buying airplane tickets before i have enough funds but for some reason, when i feel in a rut, nothing can stop me from spending on the things i need least.

i WILL be making that call to the parents this month.

: /

i am supposed to be headed to joshua tree this afternoon but pulled out last minute.

instead i'm riding to san diego.

i'd like the wind to take me somewhere, just whisk me away and drop me somewhere awesome.

finally.

so this one time, my best friend moved to san francisco and right before doing so, she held a party at the formosa cafe.

these are the long awaited pictures.

alright i lied, i had to post these two first bc they are of betsy trying to assemble a stripper pole these dudes kept in a box in their basement.

ok and here they are, for real- finally.

  

good luck in sf b : (
