you're a boy and i'm a girl

listening to: silence vs. romance, rilo kiley

just tried to change my template. it half worked. unfortunately, i have other things to be doing, so i don't have time to dig through the css and html to find out what's wrong with it so you're stuck with this. i swear it'll look cooler when it's done. yay for internet and open source stuff. and i said my coding class would never be useful. psh. silly me.

i went tanning today. yuck. they made me lay still for HALF AN HOUR and now i'm all itchy. i'm just trying to not look the same colour as my dress in september and being gone all of august puts a damper on that.

my dad very cautiously informed me today (he thought i'd be offended) that he thinks i have add. that looks weird in all lower case letters. ADD. i think it's funny. and probably true. oh, well. i'm perfectly capable of functioning. we'll see what happens.

tomorrow's plans include: find a job, clean my room, babysit, do laundry, go tanning, save my sister from small children, send those stupid letters that have been sitting downstairs waiting to be mailed for ages, drive to chicago, see meganthered, see ruth, maybe see other people, save the whales. not necessarily in that order.

so this is where you are, and this is where i am

home again home again jiggity jig

within two hours i'm already fighting with my parents. it's going to be a long month. but i have plans to stay busy. paint my sister's old room where i'm sleeping, organize a garage sale (if i do it, i get the $$), cook for my family b/c it's easier than cooking for myself and then i can eat what i want, ummmm...i think there was something else in there. oh yeah. my sister and i are going to give ourselves facials or something.

so i got a dress for the wedding i'm in in september. thought it was going to be awful but it's actually really pretty. i'll probably have to go tanning a bit, but oh well. it's PRETTY and it looks good on me. yay pretty dresses that i'll probably never have a reason to wear again!!!

i just called my cousin to ask him a question about the aforementioned wedding (he's the groom) and after we got through the important questions he asked if anything was new. i told him what was new (i graduated finally, i'm going to manhattan next month, i need a job, etc) but what he MEANT was is there any new man in my life. he was disappointed when i said no. i hate the obsession with this stupid thing. why does anybody care? if i really wanted to date someone, i could probably find a loser, but i'd rather not settle.

saw people from high school last night. went to ibc with cory and julie, but then nate and sarah and some other girl came over. soooo weird. and then all we had to talk about was what's happened to people from high school since we all graduated. this is what i don't like about living here. everyone knows everyone, and all we have to do is gossip.

megan and i are going to ratatoooeeeeeeee tonight. we watched pocahontas this afternoon too. i am so cool
