can't write much- so much packing to do... way to procrastinate, jess....

excellent past couple of days... finally got to sleep in yesterday until around 1230. Then made plans with Liz. Practiced guitar for an hour or so, guitar teacher canceled on me, read some harry potter, decided that rye should join us at liz's for the evening, picked up rye, picked up krispy kremes, arrived at liz's. watched made: i want to be a cheerleader ("you're fat! you're fat and you're ugly! now get on the trampoline!") with rye, liz, matty b. (an old flame...), veron(ica), scorp, y el hermano de liz, joe. a rousing game of frisbee was played involving at least 5 of us and 2 frisbees. i was bamboozooled by two at once, thus resulting in a bruised eye-bone thing. (ah, well, it was hot, you know it). after having the blood sucked out of us by wave upon wave of mosquitoes, inside we traipsed, and later rachel graced us with her presence. we had an evening of british humor, with trigger happy tv and monty python: parent sketch not included. (spam skit! yes!!!!!! but liz's impression is way funnier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) rye and i left a little after 10, and after dropping him off, i returned home.

after a brief chat with matt (mcmanus. note: from here on, any matt mentioned is [the one and only] matt mcmanus), i opened up harry potter and the order of the phoenix around 1130. i was on page 524. there are 879 pages in the book.

i stayed up until 417am finishing it up.

so.
good.

i love the hp series, and i so had it all figured out. yeah harry!

a mere 4 hours after i fell asleep, my phone rings and i am awakened by andy's greeting of "hello beautiful, i hope i did not wake you!" he, john, mike (the big lil bro), and the Blue Midnight Special manager mark (mahk) picked me up around 930 and we headed to la playa.

it was a beautiful beyond beatiful day today. we hit some traffic, took it in stride, listened to uh italian techno (?!?!?!), and were soon laying our blankets and towels in the sand, soaking up the sun. it was great. the water was perfect. there were so many friggin people!!! (doesnt anybody work anymore!?! how can you tell me our economy is still struggling!!!!!!) we met up with bianca s. and her brother mike. the rest of the day was spent resting peacefully and catching some rays (except for when they were trying to bury my hair and when andy poured freezing cold water over me to wake me up at one point).

i came home around 430, started packing. so much stuff. oh man. im so excited. 12 hours from this very minute (7:30.42) i will be taking off for irvine, california. and i wont be home for 21 days. i did this 2 summers ago, and loved it. i'm a little trepid this time though because now i actually have people to miss. and also sad about what ill be missing out on: the guster and zox concert, the 3eb and hot hot heat concert, ben folds, andy's party, hanging out with rach liz rye. speaking of friends, kieran's away for a month (he left last sunday) and its only wednesday but i already miss him tons.

i need something to distract me. oooo look, a butterfly
