so the playstation portable thing comes out today. johnny and his friend travis are excited to buy one. i think it's sort of cute that they're going really early in the morning to get one. notice i said sort of. it also strikes a chord in my heart because i know i probably won't hear from either of them for the next few days as they will be holed up in their rooms, eyes glued to the 4.3 inch widescreen lcd (see, i pay attention when they talk). haha actually, thinking about it, it's sort of adorable. i can't really talk, i waited in line for harry potter books and then read them all throughout the night and called off work to finish chapter 18. so yeah.
i bought my hot sunglasses today. they're gold aviators. haha all i need is a trucker hat and i will be the trendiest girl on the riz-oad. also, old navy had killer lace camisoles for 3 bucks. i bought a black one and a green one. and i got my upper ear pierced. it didn't hurt as much as i thought it would. though it's sort of throbbing now. maybe i have a high pain tolerance, but a low monkeypaw tolerance. hmm.
and no making out cause travis was there. but one of these days, eventually. maybe not so much now that the psp is out, but like i said, eventually. hopefully. maybe.
i hung out with ruth ann tonight too. on the way home to grab my suitcase, i stopped in at roos's apartment and we talked for awhile about dumb shit like boys and school and black men hawking dannon smoothies. which sound really good right now.
oh god, moonlight mile just came on. there are certain songs that if a guy ever put them on a mix cd, i would melt. moonlight mile is one of them. your song is another. umm... tiny dancer. birthday song by ben lee. nightswimming. oh you are the roots. in your eyes. maybe i'm amazed. an acoustic version of anna begins. man. seriously. melt. all over the place. forever.
4:30. i have a half hour. i guess i can go clean out all the cherry limeade cups out of my grandma's car. and then probably take a shower and stuff, too. and pack up the laptop and charge the ipod and things like that.
to tide you over for pictures, here's one of me in my hot new sunglasses, dancin around my bathroom. i don't have a steady hand, or any sort of aim. as you can tell.
