"I've Got To See You Again" by Norah Jones
I've been seeing a lot of friends and their families lately, and I'm getting a lot of comments on how I look really thin and pretty. So I guess I also accomplished my summer of goal of getting hot before college. It doesn't matter though, as I've already decided that I'm just perpetually not going to get any action. I have already accepted my life as a spinster.

"Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones
I feel dizzy and content. Sitting on a beautiful summer afternoon sipping milk tea and watching "Passions", listening to Norah Jones during the commercial breaks, and wiggling my toes covered with splatches of oil paint, I just have an utterly at peace feeling with the way the universe is moving. I love Norah Jones, everything feels so much better when she's the soundtrack to my life.P.S. - I didn't say stop with the comments.

"A Woman's Worth" by Alicia Keys
Oh...what a year can change. I'm one year older from all the events that transpired from this date one year ago. But it feels like so much more. And if only I had known that so much bad stuff was going to happen, then maybe I would have done better. I did the best I could, which I guess isn't half bad considering I'm once again sitting on the 27th of August, a very content girl. Don't let's start, I've got a weak heart.I'm not sure if we're going to visit the grave tonight or not. I'm not sure about a lot lately.

"Shining Light" by Ash
Working Sunday was boring all by myself, but so entertaining due to this organized yet unaffiliated event. They were a friendly bunch, seriously.Work is my life, but somehow I'm not that bitter yet. Maybe because they ended my season after next Tuesday, and maybe because I'm working with people that I like. I've got a secret smile that goes on for miles and miles...oh please please please let me get what I want this time.
It feels like everyone and their moms have already either started school or moved away to start school. I still have three more weeks! I was thrilled about going back to school late, but now that I'm not going to work and all my friends are gone/in school, I just don't know what to do with myself. I don't remember what it was like to have a real summer! I haven't had one since high school started!
Of course, I could always do the following (which is really what I need to do):
1) Clean my rooms (this will be a three week activity)
2) Pack up my life
3) Do all the paperwork for school
4) Buy more stuff for school (computer, bathroom stuff, etc. etc.)
5) Finish my summer reading list!
6) Finish my five paintings!
7) Spend lots and lots of time giving lots and lots of love to Lucy & Pepper
8) Lose nine more pounds (I lost six pounds this summer doing nothing! Go me!)
9) Get all my contacts together
10) Spend lots of time with friends
11) Start talking to my roommate
12) Do lots of shopping with money earned this summer
13) Throw out magazines
14) Finish watching season three of "Sex and the City"
15) Send off promised packages ;)
16) Spend lots and lots of quality time with best friend
17) And hopefully, in between all that, date and be cuddled a lot.
BTW, did I mention I cut my hair about three weeks ago? It's too short for my liking. Never let me cut my hair short again.

"Running" by Jason Mraz
I'm back, Florida was hot and humid and approximately 1/2 DisneyWorld. The other half being swampland that was too soft to build DisneyWorld on. It's sick, but I missed work. Sigh. The people are so much nicer here at Disneyland than there.I finished Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood and Like Water For Chocolate while I was there - two very very good books. Ummm...I updated Girl a bit, can't remember what I changed (it was awhile ago). Three more weeks until I move, rocksteady. I've got tons of packing, cleaning, buying, dating, and painting to do before I leave.
Dude, Alex where have you been?? I have a question!
That's about it, kids. Let's keep the comments rolling, shall we? I would love it ever so much. :)

"Your Body Is A Wonderland" by John Mayer
I seriously seriously seriously think that is the best song to get it on in an afternoon with. Not that I ever get it on...much less in the afternoon...so really what I think has no ground. After last night's experience, and my tango with death in the form of the 101, I came to one complacent conclusion. I absolutely love Los Angeles. Despite its shady underbelly and its plastic upperbelly, I love it for all its dirty beautiful ways. I embrace the silicone and the sweetness. I love LA. I'm in love with that city, and I've realized that there is no way that I could ever live anywhere else when I grow up. Last night's experience affirmed what has always been my dream: to live a beautiful life in LA.
Have a nice week, kids.

"3x5" by John Mayer
Somewhere hidden on the forest moon of Endor...was a very beautiful night with about ten thousand women, five thousand grumbling boyfriends, and one delicious man with beautiful hands. John Mayer was awesome awesome awesome, and it was refreshingly beautiful to be hidden deep inside Griffith Park with a beautiful man. He opened with "3x5", which was so incredibly fitting for that moment in my life. He closed with a colorful version of "Neon". My favorite performance was "Your Body Is A Wonderland", which he opened with a bit off of "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic". I couldn't stop grinning :)By the way, don't mess with me: I tangled with the jungles of the LA freeway. That makes me tough, right?

"Someday" by the Strokes
My room is one gigantic disaster. But for once, my life is not. I think I like the way it feels. I've got a perpetual cold, but I've got a reason to be perpetually smiling. I'm seeing John Mayer tonight. Two adorable guys in one week? I'm a terribly lucky girl :)

"A Girl Like You" by Pete Yorn
"She is the saddest girl to ever hold a martini."Do you all remember the scene in Amelie where Nino goes to the Deux Moulins to meet her? And then she's writing the menu backwards on the still shots and denies to be the girl in the picture? She practically runs away, and when Nino finally leaves, she melts into a puddle?
Well then you will all have witnessed my night. I feel so stupid - I'm not normally like this. But I just got so...shy. Unexpectedly he was still there - being so shyly modest and so adorably smiley that I just felt hollow inside. My cheeks were burning from my silent embarrassment and painful self awareness. I felt so empty and full of nothing that it wasn't worth my time, and more importantly, his. So I ran away and melted into a puddle along the way.
He's the Nino to my painfully shy Amelie inside.

"Lose You" by Pete Yorn
I've had a very discouraging evening and I feel pretty terrible about myself. Basically wrapped up in a nutshell: I'm stupid and ugly. No matter how far I've come in life, there are always some nights where I feel as awkward and lame as that geeky 12 year old deep down. I'm such a freak.

"Savior" by Common Rotation
Worked an eight hour today...I realized that when I wake up in the morning I'm a very crabby person. I can't even find the muscles in my face that make me smile. But by the end of my shift I was singing and dancing like the rest of them. I finished Prozac Nation and I think I will start Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood next. I realized I've read three books about females suffering depression...which is two more than a lifetime's worth. I liked Girl, Interrupted best (just in case you cared). I think if I read one more, I'll have to do myself off as well.

"On Love, In Sadness" by Jason Mraz
Tonight was definitely, definitely a good night. Despite the fact that I was ten minutes late to work, stamped random strangers on their wrists with invisible ink, and lost a pretty Cinderella pin to a mean guest . . . I met a cute boy tonight! He was just so pretty . . . and funny . . . and witty . . . and, well . . . okay, so I didn't talk to him that much tonight as he wasn't even our stockboy, I just stole him because our stockperson disappeared (God bless her soul), and it was rather busy. He reminded me of Tag from Friends. Just with lighter hair . . . and slightly smaller. *sighs happily* I wish I had brought my Joycam to work . . . ahhh highlight of my night.So despite the fact that I'm working six days next week, for no reason whatsoever, I'll be happy. I'm making friends at work, finally. One of them even gave me his demo CD, which is good. Ahhh and working at the same location as potentially running into that boy is rewarding enough for me. (Although I admit I would not care as much if I were not being paid). Excuse the giddyness . . . this doesn't happen to me very often! (!!!!)
But the facts together don't look good, he's probably gay. Because where I work, I have to say the ratio of gay men to straight men would be 6:1. And secondly, I'm dangerously attracted to him.

"Toxic Girl" by Kings of Convenience
It bothers me a lot when people don't type with correct grammar/spelling. I think it is my new pet peeve. So if you were to ever write me a letter or eMail me, you would get a more enthusiastic response if you were to use the grammar rules you learned in school.P.S. I love the Kings of Convenience.
