wow.

I don't even really understand how this is possible.
but thanks to my good friend Stumbleupon.com, I have been shown something remarkable.

WARNING! aka, MOM: yes there are a few instances of profanity, and yes it is very likely you will not like this video. Spare yourself. If you do however watch it, please take a moment before calling me upset to realize that it IS funny and leaves you in awe.

thank you.

summer.

i will be home in exactly six weeks.

feelings? ecstatic. and motivated.

dad had to cancel his trip to stay with mama dean which i totally get and is definitely the better option, but still kinda sucks. i guess i didn't realize how much i appreciate his business trips here.

also i need to get my tan on. i can't have a repeat of last time when people were all like "what happened, you still look pale"

in other news: GO SEE SHUTTER ISLAND. i want to see it again to fully comprehend it because the ending leaves you with this pleasurably mystified look on your face and a feeling of what the heck just happened to my brain?
good stuff. it wasn't as scary as the trailer would like you to believe but it absolutely makes up for it with suspense and complicated plot twists that are truly epic.


back to being home in six weeks:
i have no idea what to do with all my crap while i'm home for the summer.
i have alot. no good.
i really need to go through my clothes and get rid of stuff i never wear because its taking up too much space and now that dad cant take some stuff home after his trip, i don't know how to get it back!!


song: walcott by vampire weekend

today.

was a beautiful day.

went to the beach on north shore -spot where all the tourists stop to look for turtles. surprisingly great beach.
drove a little further to matsumoto's shave ice for guava & lime, my favorite.
stopped in waialua bakery to say hi to the old roommate and her fam.
drove back to laie with the windows down and music at medium level. just enough to sing along.
took a dip in hukilau to cool off and had a conversation that came up with the conclusion:

life is going pretty well when it doesn't take some special occasion or interesting adventure to realize that you have had an incredible day.
if you can just drive around with your friend and get some shave ice and feel like you've had a surprisingly great time, things are looking good for you.


especially considering that almost every day this semester has been like that.

new goal: appreciate that my life is extremely blessed.



song: They Bring Me To You - Erin McCarley & Joshua Radin

again.

it's the type of day where i would much rather sit in bed and make some posts than actually read Metamorphosis by Kafka.

i love being 19. technically i can argue my adulthood, but who are we all kidding? i am completely a child, and i love it.

things i love about being an "adult" and not acting like it:
- a totally justified addiction to youtube
- less responisibility
- more freedom
- i watch mary-kate and ashley movies without shame
- being able to play dumb
- driving around blaring music
- enjoying the most inane humor ever
- the swing set is my favorite place in laie
- youthful anthems

you know how you have summer anthems and what not like "all summer long" by kid rock and "summer nights" by rascal flatts, well i have alot of songs that give me the same feeling about being young and the way i feel about life right now


tik tok- kesha
let go- dave lichens
TGIF- the secret handshake
kids- MGMT
seventeen forever- metro station
swing life away- rise against
brat pack- the rocket summer
stay young- we the kings
don't rain on my parade- barbara streisand
yes- LMFAO



also, go download some Ra Ra Riot. they're terrific.

mystery.

a medical one to be exact.
yep, that's me.
"well, obviously something is wrong with you, we just have no idea what it is" -dr. jensen
not strep like i thought. not mono...? and not my liver or kidneys...random.
i'm not sure what my liver and kidneys have to do with a sore throat and swollen tonsils, but whatever.
so now i get to take lots of pills to cover all the possibilities! yay! kill me.

sugar.

Weekend Update time...
[I will now be including in my posts a song or band that reflects my mood or that i just really like and want to share with all three people that read this]

Song: Pink- Glitter in the Air
"have you ever wished for an endless night, lasso the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight. have you ever, held your breath and, asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight"

oh, weekend. you are delightful. it might be 2:33am...but i continue to sit awake because it has been another of those nights. the nights with moments that you can't completely put into words. "they" say that college and this age is the time when you'll make friend you keep for the rest of your life and you'll make memories that you keep with you forever. well, I completely agree. what makes me think this? well, this weekend is a great example. don't await some incredible tale of adventure, most of my favorite nights are pitifully simple.


holy crap, i just started to write like a detailed and very stylized-writing depiction of the weekend but it took ten minutes to get through half of friday night. lets stick to the basics shall we?

friday- grocery shopping [i love it for some reason]
p.f. changs with becca joey steven danny and steph
throwing up in the car haha
had a moment---more on that later

saturday- slept in :]
hukilau with becca
met up with joey mitch dj bonnie, etc for my first attempt at surfing. basically, its not fun.
i didn't try for any waves and i am sore and very badly sunburnt. it will not be my new hobby
then to chinatown for the chinese new year festivities. great fun! watched lion dances, bought nonsense, ate crepes...?

sunday- church
nap [best sunday activity ever]
watched sunset with becca at sacrificial spot
movie with mitch spencer and caitlyn
skinny-dipping. [kinda...haha people had different people had different levels of clothing] it was weird.


like i said, a relatively simple weekend, but just so much fun. like the interaction and the feel of the nights are priceless. thats what i'm getting at with the moments i can't put words to. the kind of thing where you just know that this is what being young is about. this is what being carefree is about.

if anyone has read the perks of being a wallflower, i'm talking about the way charlie felt when they were coming home from the dance or something listening to that song and standing up in the tunnel and he says "i feel infinite."

oh hey.

i'm still alive. promise. i just don't have a working camera so i have no way of documenting the things that i do with my life. and also i'm very badat keeping up with my blog.

basically, this semester has been really fun but soooooo different than the last. i really wish i could take some freaking pictures so people would actually care to read this and i'm not just typing random crap that no one wants to see.

life right now:
1. trying to survive my english classes
2. finally went clubbing (twice)
3. actually going to every ward activity
4. downloading new music like crazy (suggestions please?)
5. i'm extremely homesick for whs theater. like alot
6. going to alot of movies.

like this one in a few weeks. so excited!
