The one who so confused

So I've decided that I would love to be an urban explorer. Or just an explorer in general. I see pictures of these beautifully abandoned places, and I just want to be there to see it for myself. I see these ancient monuments, and I want nothing more than to see them with my own two eyes.

I may want to live in the flowers of the world (my ideal home would have yellow walls with white trim and a lush, overgrown garden) but I want to explore the grit and the secrets.

One of the things I most want to see is the underground city of Edinburgh. Of course, part of that is that I just want to go to Scotland, but I really do want to explore underground cities.

I'd love to take two years off between my Bachelor's and Master's degrees to explore the world.

Casey wants to do freelance photography in the Peace Corps, but I just want to explore things we forgot in our collective memory.

It sounds kind of amazing, too.

She was a star in Monaco

That show I was talking about? The 100 Monkeys show? Cancelled. The Fire Marshal nixed it due to something about fire extinguishers. But it ended up being okay, cause Casey and I traversed through the wilderness to a liquor store about a block away to buy candy and snacks. She then spent the night at my house, where we stayed up till about one just looking at failblog-esque sites, and then ended up going to bed around three. I did, at least.

Today, we went on a movie outing. We saw Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (an adorable movie. Steve.) and New Moon. It was kind of like insult to injury, seeing Rathbone in the film when we could have seen him at the show.

And that is all I will say about that movie. I might make make Twilight-the-movie-ers upset.

We did lots of wandering, left sweet sentiments in Carl's Jr., and got ice cream even though the weather was ridiculously cold.

She's spending another night, and she's using my mom's new laptop. For a long while, we were looking at the same site on seperate computers. Yes, apparently, we're those people.

Sorry if this post seems a bit odd. It does to me, at least. I'm pretty giddy on laughter.

No doubt in my mind where you belong

This weekend was nothing less than amazing.

Friday, I spent a few hours at Jessi's (Erika's friend) birthday party. That was pretty wildly awesome. There was sushi (handmade, handmade! Haha), dancing, one of those spinning coloured lights, the Time Warp, and awesome human beings. I have to be very frank here, the guy Casey and I more-or-less adopted was pretty cute. Just stating facts here. Haha.

Erika taugh this guy, Diego, to dance, and I swear there was a little flirting. Latent, but nonetheless. So I have this bet going... But it's a long-ish story.

Anyway, on Monday, Casey came over and we spent the whole day in a state of utter joy and silliness. From the waterlogged playground with giant yellow-brown puddles beneath the swings, to baking cookies to "Eye of the Tiger" and "Half-Breed", to attempting to do kid workouts and getting totally confused, to filming bizarre videos... It was pretty wonderful!

Today was a dull Tuesday. Meh.

Anyway, hope your three-day weekend was a good one!

All I wanna do is swing in the trees

It's Wednesday, and I'm finally blogging. Hmm.

Here's yesterday's item:

Anyway, I'm just full of plans recently.

This Friday, I'm going to a birthday party, which promises to be monsterously fun. I invited Casey along, so it'll be even more fun. :)

I'm going to a show next Friday. They're called 100 Monkeys, and their stuff is kind of funky, but I think it's pretty neat as well. You can check them out here.

As you can tell, I'm full of boredom. It's actually sleepiness.

G'night!

You say oh-oh, oh-oh

So, I'm watching Whip It, my new favourite movie, of all time. That and (500) Days of Summer. Best. Flicks. Ever.

Anyway.

So I did my speech on Thursday, and I'm amazed that it didn't suck. I was shaking a little, my voice was trembling, but I got a 4 out of 5. :)

The best part: I wrote the whole thing in third period and presented it in fourth. I had Casey send me quotes and interesting facts, and I've gotta say, she definitely made my speech rock. And she sent some amazing facts. Did you know that when the starting band was late (stuck in traffic), one of the hog farmers led the crowd in yoga? Silly hippies. :D

Erika and I spent half of Friday sifting through these crazy catalogues and circling and starring and heart-ing the things we wanted. It was wonderful.

Well, that's all for now!

Open up your folding chair next to me

So I've made absolutely no headway on my speech, my niece came in and tried to destroy my room this weekend, and I spent an unhealthy amount of time reading.

Oh, and my Internet is back. I hope!

Anyway, I think I found my Halloween costume already. If you've even seen The Scarlet Empress, it'd be the white army costume she wears toward the end. If you haven't seen it, then you need to change it. It's a gorgeous flick.

Well, happy Monday!
