Dream

I had a dream that I had a lot of 50 dollar bills in my wallet. I wish that were true. I think I only have 4 ones in there right now. Bummer.

Don’t you hate that? When you’re sleeping and dreaming and whatever you see happen is really good and you wake up abruptly and have to remind yourself that when you open your wallet, there will just be receipts and moths in there?

Weekend

So, I actually got off my butt for a little this weekend. Went from work last night to Senunas’ (my old school bar) to meet my friends. Stayed over my friend Tracy’s apartment. So cute and nice and cozy. I liked it. Also, it had been a little over a month since I last saw her and I used to live with her and see her everyday, so it was nice to finally have a reunion.

Obviously, we drank and it was fun. But I don’t really go past 2/3 beers these days and that would be about once a week max, so my stomach wasn’t too happy with me today. I had dreams about drinking glass after glass of water and iced tea because I was so thirsty. Boo.

Today was nice, too. Breakfast at S&W. Sunday Matinee. Bonfire at friend’s whom I hadn’t seen in 2 years.

Unfortunately, my Labor Day weekend is cut short due to the fact that I will be laboring tomorrow (as I do every Monday night). I don’t mind working. I like my job. And I need the money. But I’m still bummed regardless.

And…side note. I don’t know if you still read my blog, but I still read yours. And it still hurts my eyes. You should fix that. K, bye.

Songs and Stories

Two of my favorite songs of all time are by the same artist: Cursive.

I enjoy their music overall, but it’s these two songs that keep them in a list of favorites. Both are so in depth and intense and involved that I can imagine each story unfold.

Because of this song, I never see Pinocchio the same way. But it’s not a bad thing. I love the story it creates in my head.

I do love “Driftwood” but “The Recluse” is pretty much my favorite song of all time. I could listen to it on repeat for hours. Or one hour. And I’ve actually done it before (teehee). I built this whole story around the song. I love that a beat and some amazing lyrics can paint a picture in my mind. That truly makes a good song.

I’m going to put some more thought into it and compile a list of my favorite songs. I’ll share them with you soon.

Listy

I find that I do my best posts when I ramble on in a big list about things I like or don’t like. Things I feel. Things I think. I might not be the best at composing a post that might as well have been torn out of a novel, but I feel that what I write is authentic, and that’s what I’m trying to do here. I don’t want to pretend to be something I’m not. My life isn’t perfect or poetic. It’s good or it’s bad, depending on the day. I worry or I could care less. I am active or I’m laying in my bathrobe debating which movie to watch next.

• I can’t stop watching the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall these days. No joke, I put it on every night before bed this past week. And I still feel the need to finish it the next day everyday. I don’t know why I love it so much. But I do.
• People have told me all too often that I’m pessimistic. I think that happened because I always think that the greatest things will happen and I tend to get let down. But is it so bad to have high hopes? It’s what keeps me going. Obviously, over time, they’ve fallen. But it is good to believe you deserve the best out of a situation. It helps you move on…because you really do.
• I hate how I’ve felt the whole second half of the summer. I hate that I’ve reverted. I hate that I get annoyed easily. I hate that I pick out flaws constantly. I want to be carefree again.
• I am obsessed with tacos yet again, specifically with sour cream. I don’t know why I never tried sour cream before. I don’t know why I don’t try a lot of things really. Most of time, especially with different sauces and dressings, I love them after I try them.
• I am scared of the future. I let that hold me back. The unknown is so frightening. You’re lying if you pretend that it doesn’t bother you.
• I’ve rented the movie Bonnie and Clyde three times this summer and I have yet to watch it. I don’t even know if I can get myself to watch it. It’s sitting right next to me and I’ll still probably pick something else.
• I’ve found yet another camera to swoon over. This will probably be the one (at least until the next “one”). Canon Powershot SX110 IS. 10x optical zoom. 9 MP. Manual settings galore. Reasonable price. And, of course, the fact that it’s a Canon.

That’s all for now.

Freedom

I feel bad for all them buggers that are stuck at school.

Thursday was gorgeous, and instead of spending a few hours in a classroom or campus or worrying about homework, I got to shop at King of Prussia and spend my day out and about doing whatever I so choose.

Though I love the huge mall, I hardly ever buy things there. I get so intimidated by the expensive stores. But I prefer to hold onto my money for things I really love anyway.

Even though I did buy one thing (I love that each item is so unique at the store. I have the purple/nude bra too, but my tie-dye is completely different.)…haha.

In other news, my weekend might actually be a good one. I don’t always have plans, especially not ones that involve spending the night at a friend’s house with a bunch of other friends and doing fun things. So…YAY!

Studious

Today was a nice day.

Spent most of it out with my aunt. We ate lunch at Taco Bell and shopped around the Hometown Auction, which was nice. I got a bunch of little hair knick-knacks, a pretty necklace, and a crazy pair of glasses that inspired a mini-shoot.

I’m sharing the photos below, but I want to redo this when I can have a hand in positioning these better, maybe have a better setup (I’m thinking a desk) and it might even be fun to have another nerdy study buddy. 

 

 

 

I’m most definitely a nerd. With or without the glasses.

But I’m very into conceptual photos these days. I want in-the-moment shots, but I also want to start setting things up. Telling a story. Hopefully, with some work, I’ll get better!

Can’t read my, can’t read my…

I learned how to play poker today (after a Chinese buffet trip…I definitely could’ve done more damage. Next time…).
Five Card Stud and Texas Hold ‘Em.

We bet with candy we bought from Dollar Tree.

I like fun days with friends.

Missing from photo above: friends Dana and Terry. Dana, because she left before I thought to do it. And Terry, because he was in the bathroom and my camera started actin’ a fool.

And…random pictures I took on Sunday as well but never added:
