we'll fill the metro skies with country air

i really enjoy summertime. when you don't have anything to do, or anywhere to be. sure, it does get boring. but i always find something to do. i spend alot of my time reading. this morning i started and finished a book. its really good, you should read it. Scrambled Eggs at Midnight, by Brad Barkley and Heather Hepler.

i really like happy endings. i like knowing that everything turned out all right, and that everybody is okay. one time for my friends birthday, we went and saw Ms Pettigrew Lives For a Day. i thought it was cute and thoroughly enjoyable. but some of my friends were saying how predictable it was and how it is so unlikely for things to actually turn out in the end. it might be unlikely, but i think its better that way. i have hope.

the other day i went to my friend's grandparent's house. the pictures are from there. it was fun. we even had a bird funeral. so we were watching a movie, and this bird just flies straight into the sliding glass door. it makes this huge thud. and it lies there on the deck, dead. it was pretty sad, but at the same time you felt like you wanted to laugh. we thought that it might be a warbler (a type of bird) and so we named it willie the warbler. it even has a little tombstone. pretty exciting.

and smiles to the night

today was really hot. my cousins came over and we went and swam at the pool. it felt good, but it was really crowded. so we left and came home. my house has air conditioning, which is nice and cool. i actually don't really like air conditioning, it makes it cold. okay that sounds really funny, but i guess i just prefer open windows and fans. and then later i had to go to soccer practice. it was very hot, and we were all sweating a ton. i think though that i prefer the heat to being cold. i definitely like summer more than winter.
okay you should listen to this song. its called graveyard girl by m83.
this video of it is really cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At5Skz8C6Dg

i'm in los angeles today

finally. pictures from the death cab for cutie concert.

and refused to fall, to fall

as of lately i have been quite bored. mostly i have just been sitting at home, and hanging out with my brother. summer is my favorite season, and i really enjoy being able to wear shorts and a tee shirt all the time. but i really miss all of my friends. so i actually look forward to going back to school because i will be able to see everybody again.

i need you so much closer

so the other day i went to see death cab for cutie. it was amazing. it was the second time that i have seen them in concert, but this might have been more exciting because i was with my friends, jee young, alison, patrick, nick, becca (i don't know her very will though) and alex, my friend from camp. it was awesome because we were about five feet form the stage and, right in the middle. me and jee young got there early, but it was definitely worth it. RaRaRiot was the first opener, and they were really good. it was cool, they had an electric violin and an electric cello. then the New Pornographers came out, and they were also really good. then finally Death Cab for Cutie came out. they have always been one of my most favorite bands. i remember listening to soul meets body on the radio, back when i was in sixth grade. i still love that song. it was funny because ben gibbard kept saying, "and we are Death Cab for Cutie", as if we don't know the band, that we all came to see, and are all excited about. i really enjoy living in an area that has such a great music scene.
and i really enjoy going to concerts. when all you can hear, and all you can feel is music. and you can feel the beat thrumming through your whole body. such an incredible feeling, like nothing else. and you look at all the people around you, and you know that they feel it too.
i took a ton of pictures, but i have ahad no time to get them on the computer. but when i do i will post them up here.

when it started we had high hopes

harry potter was amazing.

i went to see it last night with my friends. and then the night before, we stayed up all night watching the previous five movies. it was fun, we didn't really pay attention to the movies though, and we fell asleep at seven in the morning, haha.

the sixth one was really good though, i wont tell you all about it though, in case you haven't seen it.

i was in love with the place in my mind, in my mind

camp pictures. most of the time it was wet and miserable, but it did brighten up. and we had beautiful views.

just be patient, and don't worry

pictures from michelles beach house

someday you will find me

yesterday i got back from camp. i am still tired. i actually hadn't slept in my own bed in a week and a half. before i left for camp, i went to my friend michelle's beach house. it was alot of fun, we hung out, kayaked, made a message in a bottle, hung out with her brother, played with aqua gems, laughed, went on the beach, held a moon snail, and did fireworks on the fourth of july. and i actually lit one of them, it was called the friendship pagoda, and all it did was spin around and then at the end it popped up. fourth of july was actually pretty fun. i have always been somewhat scared of fireworks, i guess because they are loud. but this year was good. then both me and michelle left for camp the next day. it was really nice having someone there that i already knew. i had a ton of fun. we went to camp seymour, and went on a backpacking trip on the coast. i had never been backpacking before, so it was a new experience. but i learned that i enjoy it alot and im really glad that i went. and i learned how to wear the same clothes for five days, and not take a shower. we all smelled pretty bad on the last day. my counselors were awesome, and it was way cool hanging out with them. we hiked, watched the stars, swam in the ocean, ate nutella, looked at tide pools, watched banana slugs, climbed up ladders to get up a cliff, played ultimate frisbee, got eaten by mosquitoes, skipped rocks, got soaked from the rain, and relished the sunshine. overall an awesome time, full of epic moments. (sorry for lack of pictures, will post them later)
