okay! right! writing! you know how that goes!
no seriously, forgive me, i don't even know where to begin.
these not-so-lazy-summer days have been passing by way too quickly. whiplash and blurs, chaos swarms but i wouldn't have it any other way. i'm making good money working 30 hours a week. every spare moment i possess is currently being well spent in the presence de mis amigos.
highlights that i can recall right now include:
1. sipping on colorful flavored water at tealuxe on thayer with the upenn's finest. jon and i first stopped at *the candy shop* (must be sung, a la fifty cent. pardon me, 'fiddy') first, then waited 20 minutes for a superrr skeevy barista (who eyed jon one too many times, if you ask me!!) to boil our water, just so he could put ice in it, as ordered. no worries. while we waited we talked way too loud for such a cozy atmosphere, catching up on his loveeeee interest and recent purchasing of a stuffed alligator. or a crocodile. we're not entirely sure....
2. visiting my heroine at her place of employment, strawberries. madeleine looked damn fine in that red polo. jon and i kept annoying the shit out of her (and assorted harmless browsing customers that happened to be in the rock section by the Everclear cd's). it was the best time ever. we were seriously there for an hour and bought nothing.
3. then we slept over madeleines. jon wanted to watch some movie (whose name escapes me at present), but madeleine and i sank into harry potter VI (which i had already finished and cried over the night before, thankyouverymuch) and the idiot girls action adventure guide respectively. it was so wonderful to just chill out with two of the bestsssss everrrrrrr. love you gangsters.
**p.s. - madeleine dumped her hopeless boyfriend and jon gained a new one! hooray!
**p.p.s. - this one is over 21, also, so it's alllll gooooood. malibuuuuu, baby!
4. jeremy and i caught a late show of charlie and the chocolate factory sometime last week and johnny depp was, as i'm sure all of you are aware of, amazing. (the sets made me crave sugar like nothing else! on my way home i stopped for skittles. like i wish i were joking... buttttt i'm not...) i had been waiting for this movie to be released since mrs. hamilton told us tim burton was remaking it way back when i was in 8th grade (oh so long ago haha). the ending is different, but wouldn't you believe it - it was good. nice work, timmy!!! also i super want to see the corpse bride, his next movie to be released. if i had to describe it in one word, i'm going to have to quote obi: "delicious."
5. rye and i totally chilled the other night and laughed at old pictures of ourselves. oh, and current pictures, too. :) original plans were to rent eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, but alas, we were too wrapped up in reminiscing!
6. beached it with jlb and then we went back he cooked me ziti. yum!
7. ate an enormous salad at fresh city with ms. lauren
8. caught fireworks at the st. mary's feast with rye, jeremy, pat, and chris jackson
9. was greeted at my car yesterday morning to a rose on my windshield
10. watched eternal sunshine for the spotless mind (finally). oh my god. it was so amazing that i'm going to dedicate an entire entry to talking about it. like. shit man. just go rent it. so trippy. and thought provoking
11. got in the worst 'discussion' of my life with my mother 10 hours after she arrived home (and 5 minutes after i woke up).
12. developed a very strong affection for all things third eye blind.
13. bawled my eyes out until tears stained my shirt.
14. saw ross. too bad we couldn't really talk, but we're hanging out sometime very soon. love that gangster.
15. drank obscene amounts of diet coke
16. my sun kissed tan from florida and europe is shedding all over the place, and when someone was trying to comfort me about it, he said it was cool, and i quote "like tie dye." en quote. smooooooooooth, that's exactly what i was going for!!!
17. taken disk fulls of pictures
18. hit up waterfire with jeremy and ran into gerry, scorp, dyl, beth, mark, and mattie.
19. had pebbles thrown at my window at 157 in the morning.
and on tap for tonight:
20. Lauren's birthdayyyyyyyyy! that's right, folks! she's legal!!!! to celebrate we (lau, myself, zack, julianne, ivy, patty, shannon, jeremy, jon, mike, stephen, matt (?) and probably a bunch more people!) are hitting the clubbbb!!! ultra, i think. meet us there. or be square.
psssh. first though ryan and i are going to waste tons of money on candy and eat it on the lawn of the gazebo in garden city. i'm going to be needing my energy for the evening!!!!
