Puffy white clouds, on a vibrant blue sky, accompanied by a steady but gentle breeze. Every summer day needs to be like today.

I've only started to relax just now, though I don't have much time left till I start work. Since last Saturday, I've already read four books. Mitch Albom may be completely unethical, but he can write a damn good summer read ( Read more... )

I called my dad last night, a few minutes after midnight. I whined about how Frederick drivers cannot merge onto the highway, how my brother is getting taller than me, and then how I didn't land an internship for the summer, even when I was sure I had it.

He asked me how the interview went, and I told him that overall, I thought it went pretty ( Read more... )

DISCLAIMER: I apologize ahead of time if I quote Fall Out Boy excessively this week.
... 'cause that's just who I am this week.
   -- "SUGAR WE'RE GOIN' DOWN", FALL OUT BOY

See? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. If only I could tell you why...

Auto-response from ___: I'm just a notch in your bedpost/ But you're just a line in a song...

"Let Down", RADIOHEAD

Transport, motorways and tramlines,
Starting and then stopping,
Taking off and landing,
The emptiest of feelings,
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes, it's so, so disappointing...

Let down and hanging around,
Crushed like a bug in the ground,
Let down and hanging around...

Shell smashed, juices ( Read more... )

[x] participate more in Alpha Phi Omega

SCHOOL: Finals are coming up, but at least I'll be able to have some fun first. (See below.) This semester pretty much told me that I'm nothing but average... for example, take JOUR200 (history of journalism and mass media, basically). I pretty much failed to ace any of the quizzes, any of the tests, anything. The term paper and the final are ( Read more... )

Not even two months ago, Meme and I looked up the videos and music of Conor Oberst, of Bright Eyes and found them all... interesting. Intriguing, perhaps. Well, maybe we didn't know what to think.

And now, I just finished listening to I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning. I liked it better than I thought I would.

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly, off the coast and I'm heading nowhere.

I, I don't know what to do with you 'cause you don't know what you do to me.

I hope you choke on those words, that kiss, that bottle -- I confess (so bury me in memory).
