when did i become so ridiculously cynical and bitchy? sometimes i honestly can't stand myself.
yesterday/today were just so excellent that i dont even care that school starts in less than 3 days. 3 essays is hot enough. fuhgeddabout the other 3.
saw john's last concert with stefan couture last night with andy, mike, will, ash, and allie. then we went to waterfire. got an extended curfew because my parents think andy is the best thing since sliced bread. met katie's rather attractive cousin. today john left for berklee, and will leaves on wednesday. ash starts classes tomorrow at ric. mike, allie, and i head back on wednesday. as if i haven't already mentioned that enough...
today we were supposed to go to see the bso at tanglewood in the berkshires. apparently it was supposed to rain there, so we opted not to, which was fine by me. i think that's why i'm in such a good mood. i was so mentally prepared to have a family day that when i was informed i was liberated, elation ensued. ryan was called, and a trip a la playa was planned. we met up with bucci, ant, and tori at naragansett. it was such a perfect beach day. everyone else in the tri state area concurred, thus taking up all the spots in the lot. but HAVE NO FEAR! i parallel parked for the first time ever today! and it was wicked sweet, if i may say so myself (just ask rye!) we had such a fabulous time- we totally got in without paying!!! bitchin'!!!! mike rather poorly attempted the nestea challenge- drinking a whole 12 pack. he failed miserably. it's funnny because he could definitely chug back 12 beers, no sweat. hmmmm... pansy. tori and rye built a lovely rock house with a thatched roof, moat, welcome mat, and flag. i kicked ryan's ass in a burping contest. we discovered that gummy food (like peach rings) melt incredibly fast, but are even yummier and stretchier thereafter.
after we departed, i unparallel parked like it was nobody's business and we headed off to the umbrella factory. total hippie haven. 6 or 7 different buildings, all selling assorted stuff you really can't find anywhere else. think: incense, bob marley, long skirts, dreadlocks, bongos, bongs, clay jewelry, wildflowers, and farm animals. we walked around the place for about an hour. i got new earrings and rye got these funky african statues that i can't even begin to describe.
we drove home with dave live from central park on the player. bliss.
oh! i heard an unbelievably awesome new song by the streets last week. chris martin (of <3coldplay<3) produced it. apparently, when they were recording, chris helped out during the chorus, but on the CD the streets have some other guy because chris didn't like the way it came out (?) well i heard the chris version and like i said... it's amazing. i highly recommending getting your hands on it somehow because it was totally one of those songs where i just completely dropped what i was doing, sat down, and listened. it's called dry your eyes.
