I have a history of picking up random people and then making them my best friends in short amounts of time. Boys that I crush on, sprecifically.
I met my latest victim at a UNM football players party... Chloe and I were playing video games with these two guys, one of whom was from Riverside. We started talking about CA and NM, and as he is going to be a freshman at UNM, I decided I needed to show him some fun out here in the 505. Chloe and I wasnted to take them hiking. We left that night with no solid plans for a hike, but the next weekend I ran into my new friend again, got his number, and told him a hike WOULD happen...
It hasn't happened yet, but I did take him and another guy to a party with me, took him left over food from a dinner at Sara's, made him go on a mission with me in which we bought 7 Whopper Jr's and attempted to trade people whatever we could get for them, and watched movies/ Katt Williams with him at my house. And our hike is sceduled for when he gets back from football camp...
I'm kinda a creep. Haha. But It's fun having a crush who I know I'll only see every now and then, as we will be swapping states for the majority if the year... And did I mention there was kissing? Score.
I want to make him go with my to my sister's wedding when I come home at the end of September, too... we'll see if I'm ballsy enough to make it happen...

Erg.
Went backpacking with my pops this weekend.
It was grand. Until the ride home.
He was trying to tell me that a business degree would be a wise move.
Good thing all I want to do is transfer to a school that has a good art program and get my BFA. FML.
P.S. I don't want to leave any of you... And it may not even happend...but let's get real... I need to be at a school that has at least 5 kilns so I can fire shit ALLLL the time.

I Tried....
Sorry San Buen-ers (Staci, Jaqueline, Lenna, Gladys).
I tried for 4th floor, I really did (and by try I mean I hoped).
But don't fret...
I will be nearby.
Directly below you in fact.
SB room #321
In charge of rooms 311-325.
I'm going to become great friends with room 325....
So they can bang on the roof at inconvenient hours.
BTW: Your RA is Javvad Syed a super senior engineering major (my people).
See you next month.

How can you sleep at a time like this- unless the dreamer is the real you
Guys, I just ate Vegan Double Chocolate Cake. Badass Vegan Double Chocolate Cake.
I made a discovery a few weeks ago and have just now been able to go. It's this place called Elixir. It's a café that specializes in Vegan foods (but also has meat for those of you that require it). And they have tea and smoothies and boba. Oh my gosh. So. Good.
Couches also line the walls for dining and talking and, I like to pretend, reading with tea. And there's a small stage which, after talking to the owner, is for the live entertainment.
Their "Grand" opening is Sunday. Needless to say, I am going. It's like.. 5 minutes from my house. I'm pretty much going to spend all of my down time in the next week at this café.
Staci, I miss Living Room Café haha. This is a nice alternative though. I'm pretty sure this is the only place in Las Vegas that I actually want to be at.
So glad and SO EXCITED to be leaving next week for G-Vegas.
Plus, I am in love with this week. Gladys AND Seann are going to see me. That's 66% of my friends that just got into town. I think these are very good statistics so far. Especially when we consider that it took the past 2 months to convince one to even come.
Bethe Reed and Darcy: You can finally meet Seann next month. YESSSS
P.S. I've decided to change my major. Atleast... that's where I'm headed. English. (Teaching still.) I want to surround myself with books for the rest of my life.

1- DarSAY, bad ass target baby girl.
2- Antonio, welcome home, I'm glad you arrived safely :)
3- Told my parents about the tat tonight. Mom is still freaking out. Dad said it was "tasteful" then proceeded to tack the "Things I Could Have Done That Are Worse Than Getting a Tattoo" list on his wall. I LOVE MY DADDY. He's the coolest republican I know. (Trumps Arjan urrday)

while my brother was drunk tonight i decided to paint a giant target on the wall in his room that he uses for throwing knife practice.
he might still like it sober...
Just a meandering thought...
I don’t really trust anyone. Not even myself. That’s likely a bad thing.

and all the things i believed with all my heart when i was young // are now just coasters for beers and clean surfaces for drugs
OKAY SO.
You know how sometimes things just line up right?
Well I got this speeding ticket a while back on the way to the beach. (Not my fault, it was 4 hours away and I left after work I was just trying to get there before morning) It was $185 and 4 points because I was 20 over and apparently that's bad, but that's not the point.
I had to go to traffic court today in Laurens County (hourish away) which I was pissed about until I was at Target 2 days ago and I found this AWESOME dress that was maroon and beautiful, only this time it wasn't solid colors (because we all know how I have this debilitating affinity for solid colors) so it was just perfect, minus the fact that they didn't have my size. So the lady calls the store in Simpsonville and they DO have my size, which became perfect because Simpsonville is right in between Greenville and Laurens and holy Lord almighty I had to go to Laurens today anyway for my ticket!
So hitting Target on the way was still an hour long drive, only I had to take back roads because I-385 has a lot of construction but the point was back roads are the best inventions ever, I mean talk about stuffing your eyes with wonder!
Only this wonder wasn't as vast or as impressive as all the wonder up and down the 101, but it was still wonder and I loved it just as much if not more so, and I'm trying to figure out what this means, that things so small and ordinary are just as wonderful as things we're supposed to be monumentally moved by.
Target didn't even have my dress (LIARS) but I saw wonder, and my ticket got reduced to $81 and 2 points, and I listened to this new artist named Frank Turner, who I think Darcy will like best but he's just basically a BAMF and also English so who can really top that besides possibly Elton John.
Also I'm in love. His name is Mason and he lives at Waffle House as much as I do. He's small and has fucked up teeth and smokes way too much pot but he is captivating and real and has the best blue eyes and I can't remember the last time I was this attracted to someone, especially someone who's not that "attractive" in the conventional sense.
We've never really talked except for the time I was wearing my leotard and he said my tattoo was "awesome" and he "really likes it" and that "you don't see birds done that well often" plus it's "really original."
I want into his pants, ASAP. Screwy teeth and all.

You're not even aware you're such a funny pair
In beloved memory of Ethel, this song is to be played with this post:
It is my sad duty to inform all of weird floor that another life has been lost this summer.
Her name is Ethel, she is 19 years old, and she will soon be put to rest for good.
We spent three unforgettable years together. I was so afraid to drive her that I went home crying some days (I blame the teacher though), but she was patient with me and all was well. She escorted me to my first year of college and to many events at all hours of the day. She never protested my impatient driving, and her tiny frame made my life so much easier.
Of course, she wasn't without flaws.
Only two speakers worked.. if she was feeling really good that day. I could lock people in my car because her switches didn't work. The carpets don't stay down. The AC barely puts cold air out. The middle console pops right off. It always took at least five tries before the windshield wipers would even think about turning on, and turning them off could leave them stuck in the middle of my windshield. Pleather seats. The side-view mirrors barely stayed up. Nobody should EVER have to see the acrobatics I have done many times just to close the gas tank. She lacked power steering... leading to some very interesting attempts at getting out of parking spots. Oh.. and who could forget this:
She was the best first car I could have ever asked for. As it turns out, those loud noises she's been making for a while are very very bad. According to her doctor, the question is no longer IF she will cease to run, but WHEN she will cease to run. She has been deemed too old and too sick to operate.
I am going to retrieve her from the doctor tomorrow, and she will be brought back to my house. She will not accompany me to San Diego next month.
She will be missed.

Life on a 4 day weekend
This weekend=Best. No work. 4 days.
Get Jared from the airport.
Party on the 3rd at Jared's parent's. Watching 15 year old boys beat the shit out of each other. Fireworks. Food. Parents being sloshed. Randomness.
Hugging Shane Boyd... My friend's (sorta almost ex from freshman year in HS) little brother lots. I love Shane. He's a man now (15). So weird. But I love him so much.
Sleeping in Jared's bed with Chloe and Jared like the good old days.
Picking millions and eating millions of apricots at my grandparents AND baking cobbler and making jam.
Swimming. Chicken fights. Sharks and minnows. At the Piersols. Win.
Going to Walmart on the Fourth with Jared and his brother Jordan. Jared buying $220 worth of BADDDDDDAASSSSSSS nerf guns. War at his house. EPIC. Dear Lord, so epic.
Zoo with mama and her fiance's daughter and 2 grandkids. Keason, 1 and a half, talking to all the animals. SOOOO cute. He's my best friend.
Golfing with my dad.
Girls swimming at my house. All 5 together. I love them and miss them whenever they are absent.
Glory. Content. I'm too ADD to write full sentences all the time.

Everyone's a hero in their own way
I've been busily experimenting in the kitchen.
I made Oatmeal M&M cookies. Always a good choice.
One night I baked teriyaki tofu and put in on rice.
Yum.
I also tried Miso Soup somewhere between that one and the next one.
It did not turn out well.
The picture is deceiving, so I will not be sharing it with you.
Then, last night Nadine and I made teriyaki noodles.
I will be making this in the future. Nadine and I were very happy with it.
Oh, and we had to have dessert...
I also went to Eclipse with my aunt Tuesday night. I don't think I'd ever experienced so much dorkiness over a movie. We had to go searching (unfortunately unsuccessfully because I thought of the right store too late) for an Eclipse shirt and fangs so she could wear them to the premiere. I expected that of Darcy, and other people my age, but I went with a group of teachers. Love it.
...then I turned around and went to the Avatar premiere last night.
...Needless to say, I surpassed my aunt's dorkiness. Easily. With paint.
If only the movie was as awesome as we were.
Newest piece of trivia I have found out through a tattoo blog I follow on tumblr:
Oregon's state motto is
"She flies with her own wings."
I just fell in love with Oregon a tiny bit.
