i saw ladapo today in the union! ladapo is a nigerian exchange student who lived in my dorm last year. he is also the cutest boy everrr in his traditional outfit struttin the espresso royale. he gave me the most genuine smile i have ever known and i forgot all about the smashed dead squirrel i saw earlier which made me almost run into a bus (sorry guys)...
xx cross my fingers xx i get that room otherwise someone is going to have to provide me with lots of weed and grateful dead posters because i'll be living in a stoner room

not only is brandon flowers beautiful running around china town in vests (excuse me, why don't boys wear vests more often?) but there is also the most adorable green monster creature who eventually ends up cuddling with one of the band members at the end and it makes me want to melt into myself!!!
i just want closure
and a cuddly green monster, meowww

cuddling kittens at the humane society <3 <3 <3
tucker and his rainbow capes
"sampling" chocolate raisins from the bins at strawberry fields
dips in the fountain by the alumni center
late-night porch gatherings
my roof after we were "over"
three hour shopping trips to meijer grocery store
paper airplanes & the potato couch
food network

history channel with momma
thrifting, sewing
dumpster bread
biking urbana streets at night <3
lemon flavored custard cup
the pond by japan house and bullfrogs <3
pandora radio at work
waking up next to 'someone' :/
sista phone calls at 2am
reading about the mayas until 5am
sushi for the first time!
the boys downstairs, the girls upstairs
stargazing, alone, not alone
cookie dough binges after too much 'consumption'
kiss & hold
spirituality
youtubing outer space
fourwheeling through southern illinois
drunken phone calls :o
blasting peaches in the car
those jalapeno cheese bagels at aroma cafe (delirious)
rootbeer & cranberry drinks
dancing to the faint and MIA nonstop, seriously guys
next morning stories (lol)
allerton park & falling into quicksand
hummus and falafils, mango sticky rice
secret allyways, failing to climb the roof of espresso!
falling off my bike too many times to remember
(i have the worst summer legs, they are literally butchered by my clumsiness!!)

how many of you still use livejournal? i think i'm going to start updating again, probably because i'm feeling antsy/angsty arrrr...
i just read all my old highschool entries, i can't believe how much of the same person i am :/ ? (i suppose)
anyway, updates coming later, i'll probably go home and redecorate my page...but i'm at work right now shhh!

for a while i forgot about livejournal
...but thats just because my computer is a crack addict.
i'm going away on the 22nd.
seriously, i dont know what to think. the biggest thing i'm thinking of is my mom crying when i leave, its the worst thing for me to see her cry.
i started packing today, and i'm really not bringing much. i feel like i should be packing my whole life for a whole year, and so i am obviously forgetting something/many things
i guess, in truth, i am pretending to be excited.
what i really am is scared.

last night i fell asleep in jahan's room, but we didnt really sleep. instead we talked until dawn and there is something so hypnotizing about talking to the rhythm of thom yorke's voice. then i had to go to the bathroom at 4am and i think i woke up the whole house because my house is like the oldest in northbrook and creaks like crazy and for some reason i always make more noise when i am trying so hard to be quiet.
then, today the two of us went to chicago because we live down there in the summer. 2 hr naps at millenium park. becuase there are a million couples lying together in the grass, but we are better than them. and i think i will miss her more than anyone.
i used to be so excited thinking about college, now i just feel nauseous when i think about it.

i have been in hibernation.
what have i been doing all summer, you ask? i can honestly tell you i have absolutely no idea.
i have become completely obsessed with sylvia plath and am reading the bell jar a second time around. plus i bought a book of her poetry, which is utterly depressing. but for some reason depressing books/poetry is all that can keep my interest. they are the only thing that is real to me.
a miracle has come, i can actually fall asleep without melatonin, my walmart supplied sleeping medicine for insomniacs 101. but only after watching reruns of what not to wear and i love lucy, which are always on at midnight and later. i'll post more tomorrow when my REM cycle is not taking over.

prom was silly and definetely not as cool as it was hyped up to be. dressing up and eating fondue at the melting pot were the best parts. and it was for sure not worth all the sour attitudes some had about arrangements. obnoxausea! but, as soon as someone cool can send me pics, i will post some because i didnt bring a camera.

my hair created quite a ruccus today. it decided to do an in-depth case study of the 80s poof. and my face is being rebellious. my clothes completely clash. to sum it up, i look really bad, and THATS OKAY! because i really want my psych book to be turned off when we have our study date this afternoon. hopefully, i will never be asked on another date by it again.

i try very hard to refrain from taking these, but i was curious.
I am 13% White Trash. I, my friend, have class. I am so not white trash. . I am more than likely Democrat, and my place is neat, and there is a good chance I may never drink wine from a box.
what part of me is 13% white trash? i refuse to see any validity in these online quizzes.
don't go showing off to me that you are 5% white trash, or 2% white trash. because we all know it is not classy to flaunt your non-white trashyness

the shins concert on thursday night was pure magic. we got there a bit early and so we headed straight to the floor-i was literally about 5 feet away from james mercer! there were some girls in front of me who were so drunk and dancing like crazy, quite entertaining. but then again, i couldnt help but start dancing too, everyone was, it was like some spell.
ahh the beauty. i can't even begin to describe it.

so it is decided, i will grow to be a bitter old maid

i wish i was a kaleidoscope and ppl would look and go aahh (not scared aahh, more like approval aahh). because i am fed up with all the judgemental kids walking around school, making me so self-conscious.
i kind of want to just start over clean. i guess thats what college is for

second semester...so far so weird. yes, i am being a senior and taking senior foods. but i walked into the classroom only knowing louisa, catherine hamilton-bleh, eugene who likes rammstein, and that holly girl from humanities. everyone else i had seen before, but didnt actually know. it was just...random. but am i really missing out on meeting ppl like them? hmmm..i will have to find out.
then ceramics with more random ppl, like carrie casper, the soph yael, some messed up stoner named david. random.
and of course spanish was most random when we watched arnold schartenagger dubbed in espanol.
then i came home with no hw, even more weird. so i ate food, lifted weights (bc i wanna be buff like arnold), listened to this pj harvey cd from daniella, talked googlism with sneha, and now im here. and i dont know what to do anymore.
i think i'll go read the collector, which i 'rented' from the library bc of many ppl's recommendations.
blah, this is so lame.
