I live in Bellingham now. A girl just fed my meter and all the meters next to mine.

Growing up is stupid.

For about 20 minutes tonight I reactivated my facebook account. In that time, my head nearly exploded. I don't think I should do that ever again.

Best summer ever, part deux.

Finals are over. Weddings are this weekend. I bought a charger for my little camera.

Best.


summer.


ever.


Bring it.

Tall nonfat chai, chocolate donut.

Mornings like this, after playing a superfun show in one of my favorite towns with some of my favorite people, getting three hours of sleep and still waking up too late to do exactly what I'm supposed to and opting instead for the old reliable morning combo when it's completely gorgeous out and browsing assorted music jobs on craigslist (apparently some of these actually exist), I get antsy. The restless legs kick in and I think of how I kind of miss things like the Coffee Bean's Moroccan mint latte and the urge to just walk around because I was somewhere I'd never been with nowhere I needed to be and even the residential areas were worth gawking at and waking up to the sun on a lake blinding me from the side of the freeway. Good gravy, can we make a record so we can go on tour?

Here are some things I currently love in the order in which I love them:
1 - My mom
2 - My dog
3 - Connecticut Four/Playing music with Meghan and Valerie
4 - Learning to play bass, learning to skateboard, learning about angler fish... learning, just in general.
5 - Liking the boy that I like
6 - Summer!

I want to love you.

This is going to be the best summer since 2006.

1.A.) As of 12:30 this afternoon, I am officially a beauty school dropout. Monday at 8 AM I start hauling stupid amounts of ass to try to get into the UW's undergrad neurobiology program. Bring it.

1.B.) I get to keep all my tools and education from beauty school, so I can totally do your hair and nails for free.

2.) The band is called Connecticut Four, and I love those girls and playing music with them even more than I love Canadian Slurpees or potato burritos. Together as a system we are unbeatable.

3.) Meghan and I had our first run-in with authority as skateboarders last night on our Positiv boards. Apparently security doesn't like when we push shopping carts while on skateboards.

4.) Jackson and Phil and the record! JACKSON AND PHIL!!!!!!! And the RECORD!!!!

5.) I'm not giving up hope.

Watermelon nights are erasing all the teardrops on your face.

This week's been iffy (except for the acquisition of Wii Fit!), but yesterday definitely compensated:

Started working on the guitar straps, and I can't tell you how much cooler they are turning out for me doing them from scratch rather than embellishing the pre-made kind. I found hardware and really cute textiles. Say goodbye to bunniesxo and hello to the Hypomanic Empire.

Last night I got to see some great friends and excellent bands. After BOAT (and the Young Sportsmen - How have I not seen them before? They're so good!) at KTUB, I headed to Fremont just in time to catch Tennis Pro. During the set, some grown woman thought I was married to Phil, so I accidentally convinced her that he was my dad instead (My words were, "No, he's like my dad," but I think she heard, "No, he's, like, my dad."). After the set she told me my dad had done a good job and "that guitar guy is hellacute." Thank you, High Dive.

Today's highlight so far has been discovering that the UW has an undergrad program for neurobiology. YES!!!!

I'll try to squeeze a drop of blood from a sugarcube.

My heart hurts. It could be any number of things. For example:

+ I got a MySpace message from Ted Leo! Neat!
+ There was a party for Jack and Erika! Friends and sugarcubes have never been so surreal!
+ I've found suitable replacements for the red Keds I had to throw away in the UK! Yeah!
+ There's a theory that the female orgasm might function as part of a selective fertilization process. Though this might sound terribly facetious, I think it's the sweetest thing I've ever heard on the matter.
+ At 3:39pm today, I was certain of something all the way down into my bones. That's pretty rare for me, and this time it was really comforting.
- Phil was attacked?
- Bidding mysteriously ended four days early on the ancient Gallien Krueger 400b I was totally going to win on eBay.
- Someone I'm supposed to respect used the non-word "irregardless" while other people I probably should respect out of courtesy didn't even flinch.
- Everything sounds terrible with noise reduction on, but everything sounds noisy with noise reduction off.
