First Day in Chicago

I don't even know what to saaaaayyyyyy......

Importante

That's right...

lunch with brittain

And a new computer!!!!!!! =]

purple and yellow.

Went over to the Van Mater's to paint Jacqueline's room today. It was a lot of messy fun. Bottom line is that I am just a really big fan of this kid.

Summer Time Activities

The neighbor's dog from two doors down has been hanging around here a lot. Her name is Dash and she is too sweet to be running around all the time, but every time I take her back, no one is home, or they tell me not to worry about her. I want to keep her because I don't think they are good pet owners.

I have been in summer school. Today was the last day. Summer school was good because:
1. half hour break in the middle
2. Ipod and cell phone legality
3. incredibly entertaining/terrifying student body

I went to Miami with my dad for father's day. I found shells on the beach and watched a scary movie and enjoyed the sunshine. I got dad What Happened, the book about the Bush administration. He really liked it.

I hung out with Joe to get out of the house. We ate cheeseburgers and shopped for cassette tapes, because his new car doesn't have a CD player.

I babysat Allie and Nicholas. I'm a bad baby sitter because I fell asleep. But when I woke up, they were both asleep too, so everything was alright.

Places

I've been going places and doing things, and in 9 (count 'em! NINE!) days, I will be in Chicago, far, far away from other places and other things, and it will be good.
I have books to read, music to listen to, people to miss, people to escape, things to learn, and art to create. Life is balanced, if nothing else, in it's own bonkers sort of way. It's good. Things are good. Better, better, better, better....

some heads er something

I am a bad photo blogger, but not really, because it is summer, and this sentence has several commas, which I enjoy, really.

IT IS OK!

I AM STILL ALIVE!

moreleans!

I have stories for later, maybe. I'm a little in love with the spirit in this town, and a little freaked out about it. I love my life. My life is awesome.

Views

Today I cleaned out my car, got it washed, vacuumed it, ate veggies, walked my dogs, bought a book, and came to New Orleans with my dad. These pictures are not from New Orleans, but tomorrow they will be. I get to spend my day walking around Bourbon street and hoping not to get raped, shot, or mugged.

New Orleans is cool.

The Universe

Once upon a time, I chose to upload a different picture when I should've picked this one because it is cool[er].

Haircut

Hard day.... half birthday, minus one month.

no artistic value, just vanity tonight.

Thanks

I am jam packed, I'm full of wit.
No, wait, I mean the opposite
Whatever you want to fit
I want you.

I am left and I am right.
I am darkness I am light.
I am peace that has to fight
I'll change for you.
A paradox of my own feat
neither precious or unique
not just knowing who to greet
or bid adieu.
