the summers out of reach
♪:
the ataris - the boys of summer

ahhhh... i had an amazing last day of summer vacation and now i'm feeling a lot better about tomorrow, for some reason. i'm even a little excited, but only to get my schedule, and use new supplies, and things. haha i'm such a dork.

so i spent the majority of the morning making phonecalls to try and organize this ultimate game today. it ended up being me, leah, rachel, emily, sarah, jon, and JOEY ♥ i'm learning to love joey so much (only as a friend, don't worry... ahhhh haha that'd be so scary). he's so sweet. now, keep in mind before i go on that it rained ALL. DAY. before emily and sarah got there the rest of us threw the frisbees around for awhile while listening to fall out boy... chyeah. once a frisbee went in the road and got hit by a car. lol. there's this big tire mark on it. oh and once i threw it toward a car and both tires missed it by a fraction of an inch. hilarity, i say.

when the girls got there we started playing ultimate. i SO rocked today. we kept switching teams, but still the team i was on won every game except two. it was nice to win for a change. jon yelled at me a lot, though, because last time i was on his team i REALLY sucked... so the last time we switched he HAD to have me on his team, hahaha. i was actually glad, because earlier when he was guarding me he randomly whipped his shirt off. i was like "nooooo, unfair defense!!!" lol. he tied the PINK shirt around his neck and it looked like a cape... so we turned him into a half-naked bi(mostly gay *cough*) superhero. amazing.

afterword joey drove rachel and i to rachel/emily's house (emily and sarah walked; jon and leah had to leave) and we sat and drank tea. hehe. i had to leave around 6 to go eat dinner cause i also had a date with dan tonight, lol. he invited me to the soccer game cause he was going to see mackenzie... mackenzie is the 4th coolest freshman EVER, yo (because nobody can beat sarah, emily and edith). hahaha. so dan and i sat pathetically in the rain and watched the varsity game, freezing... i had to leave at 8:30 because my parents are lame, so i actually didn't get to see mackenzie at all, but he stayed. the whole time we had really great conversation. like, it's so nice, because when we're all together we're goofing off 90% of the time... which makes me love serious conversation with dan so much more. he told me a lot of stuff that i was really surprised about, and he said he probably shouldn't be telling me but he wanted to. good thing i'm good at keeping secrets.

so yeah... i'm probably going to have a lot to talk about after tomorrow. here's to hoping it goes well. i'm actually not that tragically nostalgic, or anything. and there's also a band gig (The Band, as we college brats call them, because it's a cover band with all the professors) to look forward to tomorrow, which is giong to help a lot.

xoxo!!

i know it wasnt right, but it felt so good

the juliana theory - into the dark

blaaaaaaahhhh i'm tired. yesterday wasn't a chill day after all. leah MSN-ed me and she was bored as hell so we decided to call rachel and the boys that day instead of tuesday. we might have a giant ultimate frisbee game on tuesday, instead.

so around 4:30 we met at leah's house (we being the fabulous five who shout four on three - aka me, leah, rachel, dan and chris - and sarah) and walked to the field to lay around in the grass and play frisbee (no ultimate, just throwing and catching). i was exhausted and probably a bit of a pain for awhile but i woke up. chris was taking lots of pictures and videos, hahaha. the man behind the camera.

so at about 6:30 we went to chris's house to look at some pictures and watch videos and we were there for like 4 hours... looking at pictures and watching 'family guy', which the boys have got me addicted to now. the entire time we had about 3 people squeezed into a chair meant for one large person (it could actually fit two comfortably but somebody was always sitting on someone else's lap, too)... and i was technically supposed to be home at 9:30, but leah was going home at 10 so i just went with her and dan then. we didn't get home til about 10:30. my mom was pretty mad, even though i'd called her and warned her. she didn't yell at me or anything but i could tell she was pissed. or maybe just tired. but oh well... she knew where i was and i was having fun. she claims she just wanted me to get a good night's sleep but i didn't go to sleep till probably midnight anyway.

i dreamed all night and woke up at five freaking thirty. luckily i went back to sleep, but i woke up again at 9:30 when rachel called. i'm going shopping with her at like 12:30 and we'll be back around six. yup.

i really don't want school to start on wednesday. i'm not excited about anything at all, and all i can think about is not being FREE and having to do things. plus there's no way i'll be alive enough, since i haven't slept enough all summer and i'm going back to waking up at 6. *sigh*

feel like christmas in hollywood
♪:
bush - everything zen

wow, wow, wow. i was like 15 feet away from gavin rossdale last night. and do you know what i realized? i still have quite a thing for him. i mean, i don't have a shrine to him on my wall for no reason... sooooo freaking beautiful.

we got there a couple hours early and had a little dinner and walked around the south side. stood in line for about 15 minutes until the doors opened... our tickets were at will call so we got in pretty quickly, but it didn't matter, cause we had to stand waiting for probably over an hour. during that time i breathed in more secondhand smoke than i ever have in my entire life, probably. i'm convinced i'm gonna die of lung cancer, and my chest hurts today. ugh.

anyway, all the waiting was well worth it... i seriously can't wait for this album. i think i'm more excited than i was for AAR and jack's mannequin combined. the band is really tight and the songs are great. the lyrics i could pick out were amazing. they also played 4 BUSH songs: everything zen, the people that we love, machinehead, and glycerine. i almost died during glycerine. like, i say that 'if i told you this was killing me' is my favorite song ever, but i think it has to be glycerine. i freaking have a cd with 17 versions of that song. yeah, i know. it was beautiful and i video-d most of it.

afterword we could've easily hung around and met the band, but we were tired and that's not really my thing anyway. i still feel really good.

i guess i'm taking a chill day, then tomorrow i'm going shopping with rachel and on tuesday hanging out with some people for one last day of freedom... *big sigh*

jimmy eat world - nothingwrong

ah, on thursday i did absolutely nothing, and it was wonderful. i think i needed a day like that.

yesterday i went to the fair again, only this time with alicia. we just walked around and stuff for about 4 hours... met up with abby and jenna after awhile... haha, i swear, next year i'm only going like twice. because it's just another place to hang out, you know? i only spent $25 in four days, though, and $12 of that was admission. so i'm pretty proud. anyway abby and jenna were supposed to meet up with these guys from buffalo that they met online.. but i guess they didn't.. i'm glad. that's kinda scary.

so anyway alicia went to see 'joseph' again, so we left at like 7:30. a bunch of people were either there or busy so i didn't really have anything to do and i was a little bummed... but i got home and talked to dan on msn for... let me see... 3 hours, which was lovely. we talked about music and college and some other stuff. he said he would've gone with me to see gavin tonight, but it's too late now, haha. i'm seeing him (and the rest of the fabulous five who shout four on three) on tuesday, before school starts. that's cool.

i went to bed after 11 and woke up at 8. blaaaaaaahhhhhh i hate it. but it's ok cause i had to go at 10 to take a picture with a bunch of other modern dance students at liz's new studio. that was that. only took like 10 minutes. i'm excited for dance this year, and i'm SOOOO glad i quit band.

ahhh... gavin mothereffing rossdale tonight. i can't breathe. it's still a little unreal, too.

i know that it is freezing but i think well have to walk
♪:
get up kids - i'll catch you

oh yeah, wow, so i've had like literally no time to write in the past couple of days. sorry about that; i really wanted to.

the fair with abby was actually slightly boring. we just walked around (her friend jenna was there too), watched meghan flirt with this one carnie, and yeah. the twins got there later. i was excited for about the first two minutes, and then it got really boring. because, like, we don't talk and nothin ever HAPPENS. i think i still like him, but if nothing starts happening soon, i'm completely giving up. i can't wait for him forever. god, i'm so contradictory, though... you'll see...

after that me, leah, rachel and emily went and sat in sarah's driveway until they got home at 11. it was so amazingly unreal and happy when we were all back together again. we have SO much catching up to do, though... i think we need a full two days, like, 48 hours, which is do-able before school starts. i got home a little after midnight and slept until **11:30** this morning. i was so proud of myself; i NEVER sleep that much.

i had to call everyone about plans for the fair tonight, and then emily invited me over there to watch 'conspiracy theory' because they rented it and i'd REALLY been wanting to see it. it was amazing. confusing, but really well-done, and made you think a lot. anyway, rachel made me call dan (he'd gotten the email about the fair) and see if he was coming with us today. so i did. so we met him, justin and chris (haha, i'm so glad they didn't all have to wait for us together, that would've been SO awkward, cause dan and chris know each other but justin is sooooo not like them) at liiiiike 4:45 (we picked up julia too and brought her with us).

so tonight was the funnest time i'd had at the fair yet. we found this porch swing thing and sat 6 people in it and one standing for the loooongest time. so much fun. i have great pictures. other than that we just walked around but it actually wasn't boring. i saw adam again and told dan to jump on me, hugging me. the look on adam's face was hilarious... but i think it was more of a, "wait, she's never with guys!" look than a jealousy look. yeah.

after the fair we (me, rachel, leah, chris, and dan) went back to rachel's house and played a little frisbee, but it was dark, so we all laid in a love pile on the trampoline. hilarious moments. then dan took chris and me home, but it ended up being me and dan driving for like 10 minutes cause chris's grandma (who he's staying with, obviously) lives waaaaaaaaay out there. i love driving with him; we NEED to take that road trip.

mmm, i hope i sleep lots again tonight. also, all i've eaten today is half a bagel with cream cheese, a few handfulls of goldfish, lemonade, and like two french fries, and i'm not hungry at all. wow.

xoxo
