Seriously

I love just hanging out around good people.

Being brutally honest, I’m losing faith in some of the people in my life. Perhaps its just the way things go. We are growing up, and some people must move on. But I never want to grow up, so you’ll find me still trying to have much fun as possible.

I spend a lot of time with the boyz at my friend Joe’s house. We watch movies, drink a couple beers (if there are any) and play video and/or board games. Sometimes my lady friends come and join. But its rare and, when they do, its not for long.

But ain’t no thang…we have a good time.

Soul Sisters

I had a wonderful day. After work, I got changed and met up with, quite possibly, the love of my life at Barnes and Noble.

Something you need to understand about us…I feel like I’ve known Lauren forever, and its only been 4 years. And the reason we met was something (Residence Life at King’s College, fate, God) brought us together as roommates. It took us nearly a semester to get close, but once we did, that was it. We were cemented. She’s been my roommate since then. Until now. I love her more than you can love a friend. A roomie like that becomes a type of sister. You drive each other bonkers, but you survive the bad anyway.

We don’t need to do anything spectacular to have an amazing time. We walked around Old Navy, Target, and the mall. We ate Personal Pan Pizza meals at Pizza Hut. We blasted Lil Wayne with the windows down.

I have good friends in my life, yes sir.

Is it wrong?

Is it wrong that I think owning a cheeseburger phone would be kinda awesome?

Is it wrong that I am jealous of people who have freckles?

Is it wrong that I am constantly craving fried chicken?

Is it wrong that I want this so much, I actually dreamt about it?  

7 Days

This week I will be

• swimming at Hickory Run
• enjoying hot and sunny summer weather
• spending one on one face time with my roomie and friend of 4 years (we were strangers when we first met, and now we know too much about each other)
• seeing my sister again for the first time in 3 weeks

Not a lot, but its enough to make me happy. Can’t wait to see Lauren and Maria. Can’t wait for it to actually feel like July. Can’t wait to lay out in the sun and swim in the water.

Happy 4th of July!

I hope everyone is going to be relaxing and cooking out and swimming and doing whatever 4th of July traditions you have (or any that you may be starting this year). As for me, I’ll be at work from 4-10, because Blockbuster never closes. Lucky for me, I celebrated last night. And I’ll probably find a way to celebrate again tomorrow.

Fireworks from afar and marshmallow roasting. Instead of making smores, we sandwiched our “shmallows” between these bad boys. Pretty tasty.

Oopsies

I’m in love again. Still in love with the former, but I’ve now added a new love. Perhaps the baby to my first love and me. A new addition to the family. This is bad.

Thank Lomography for being so amazing.

That’s right, folks. I’m in love with yet another camera. It didn’t seem possible about 2 months ago. I love pictures but I’m by no means a photographer. In fact, the extent of my photo taking was always my friends huddled in a group. But I’m trying to get more into it.

I thought I’d check out Fred Flare just to see what’s recently been updated on the site. And then I found this. It’s 35mm, so it won’t be hard to develop the film. And, on top of it, it takes 4 pictures that go on 1 photo. It’s perfect for capturing my friends dancing. I’m debating. I’m still not sure…but I’m just warning that you might be reading a post very soon about a recent purchase…

Thoughts for Today

Eating a popsicle, thinkin’ back on my day.

Worked ‘til 5, and it flew. I love busy days that don’t give me time to think about anything. Found a possible job that I should really apply for. Realized I am on a total rap kick and cannot get enough of it, want more of it. Spent time with two boys that I’m glad I can call my friends. Dropped off my Holga film and you might be able to see my pictures as soon as the middle of next week.

Small things make up for the things I’m lacking. I don’t really have money, a job that I can live off of, a place to call my own, or a love to share everything with. But I have good friends, a job I like, and, as I told my mom, I feel pretty rich just driving the Buick on a warm summer night with the windows down blastin’ Lil' Wayne.

P.S. How did July get here so fast?

P.P.S. I’d be doing the same thing…
