Sunburn

Car Show

Ann arbor is good. Really good. I love it here! I walk everywhere. It feels good getting so much exercise everyday. Going to camp tomorrow

First day is good...long. Someone cried. I taught arts and crafts. I'm not supposed to have a phone and there are spiders everywhere. Oh,

I leave today.

Wilco. Please Be patient With Me.

I should warn you
When I’m not well
I can’t tell
Oh, there’s nothing I can do
To make this easier for you

You’re gonna need to be patient with me


I’m this apple, this happening stone
When I’m alone
Oh, but my blessings get so blurred
At the sound of your words

I’m gonna need you to be patient with me


How can I warn you when my tongue turns to dust
Like we’ve discussed
It doesn’t mean that I don’t care
It means I’m partially there

You’re gonna need to be patient with me

Columbia nerd: I feel weird just knocking on the door and asking if he's there.
Friend: That's not weird though?
Columbia nerd: But they're all hipsters and full of attitude and judgment. Those people intimidate me.

Lots of pictures!!

The first several pictures are photos of my new outfits!

The second half is me and Marisa the last day she was here. :-(��

I'm pretty sure that 3 people read this blog, so I don't care what pictures I post of myself. I mean, let me restate that: Unless I'm naked or seriously compromised, I'll post a picture of myself. Even if the whiteness of my body is more offensive than if I was naked and had a large tattoo of President Bush on my abdomen (Trying to think of what would offend a large amount of people simultaneously).

Anyways. I went to the beach with Mani today and that was a lot of fun. We didn't stay for a horribly long time...just long enough for my left arm to get ridiculously sunburnt. Why only one patch of arm you say? Who knows. Of course, I got a pronto pup. I also deflowered Mani's virginity to prontos. I love doing that!!��

Don't work til Wednesday...going out to breakfast with Beth bear tomorrow!

My new bathing suit

Girl from Germany looking around at Luke and Jason's fireworks party: Over in Germany, you always hear about how fat American people are. But no, look around, I do not see it!

Friend: Yeah, but these are indie-rock kids, they're not fat.

Fourth of July was once again...disappointing . Hah. Oh well! I had fun with my friends, just the fireworkz were baaad. 

Jason and Luke's killed everyones! More about all of this tomorrow...2:29 is my bed time!

I want a new phone.

I want a bar phone. Flip phones are too inconvenient. Gimme an iPhone! Somebody! 

In the 1990s and 2000s, the 1940s slang term hipster began being used in North America to describe young, well-educated urban middle class and upper class adults with leftist, liberal, orlibertarian social and political views and interests in a non-mainstream fashion and cultural aesthetic. While definitions vary, hipsters are often associated with alternative music, "indie" culture (indie rock and independent film), and other non-mainstream products, such as vintage clothing.

Our Night

���� �� �� �� �� �� Dang!

more cat pictures

I got some new things today.

I got a pack of cloth hairbands. They're pretty. Red, Blue, Yellow, Black, and White.

My red one is especially cute.

I just tried to take a picture, but it didn't work out too well.

I worked tonight 5-close. Its a nice shift. Goes by relatively fast. I have to wear a hairnet now. But its alright, because its blonde, and you cannot even tell that Im wearing it. I loves it. Kinda. I mean, for what it is, I love it.

Have I mentioned that I'm going to be a life group leader?

I'm volunteering for Mars Hill. Going to be in charge of a group of 8-10 5th&6th grade girls. Haha. Kind of out of the blue. I was at church with Mani one day, and I just got a post card that asked for volunteers, and I just thought that it'd be a really great time to do something. Unfortunately, its not until September so the immediate aspect that I was going for is kind of...gone. But either way, I am looking forward to it. 

Want to hear my schedule for fall classes?

1) Introduction to Cultural Anthropology 

2) Algebra (NO!!)

3)Fundamentals of Music (Had to take the art class, so I thought this would be a good choice since I already have a small background in theory)

4) Cognition (This will be cool?)

It's only 13 credits. I'm looking to take one more class, but having trouble finding one that fits into my schedule. Maybe I'll do that right now?

It's 2:30am and I have to work at 1 pm tomorrow.

O hai!!

You Are My Face


I remember my mother’s
Sister’s husband’s brother
Working in the goldmine full-time
Filling in for sunshine
Filing into tight lines
Of ordinary beehives
The door screams I hate you
Hate you hanging around my blue jeans
Why is there no breeze
No currency of leaves
No current through the water wire
No feelings I can see
I trust no emotion
I believe in locomotion
But I've turned to rust as we've discussed
Though I must have let you down 
too many times
In the dirt and the dust

I have no idea how this happens
All of my maps have been overthrown
Happenstance has changed my plans
So many times my heart has been outgrown
Now everybody’s feeling all alone
Can’t tell you who I am
When everybody’s feeling all alone
Can’t tell you who I am

I am looking forward
Toward the shadows tracing bones
Our faces stitched and sewing
Our houses hemmed into homes
Trying to be thankful
Our stories fit into phones
And our voices lift so easily
A gift given accidentally
When we’re not sure 
We’re not alone

Hilarious.
