"Ramblin' where to begin,

I taste the summer on your peppery skin"

SUMMERSONG. THE DECEMBERISTS

Hurrah! it is finally the summer that i have not been looking forward to at all!

i dont mean this like im not going to enjoy my summer. i mainly mean this to mean that school represented 6 hours a day of effortless experience. like, it was inevitable that i would at least learn something new/some new side of someone/meet someone new. but summer requires me to actually try. like theres 8 weeks of possibility stretched out before me, and its neither reaching to me or running away. i have to take the initiative to do something with it

summer life has been an endless cycle of my moms old CDs

since my only computer with working speakers has broken. at

first i considered that a tragedy, until my love for paul simon,

david bowie, the clash, and billy bragg& wilco was completely

rekindled. i am sad to say that i listened to my old backstreet

boys CD as well, when i had exhausted the supply of my

moms. im sad to say that i still greatly enjoyed it!

im not going to list all the infinite details of the past couple

days that i have been unfaithful to this blog because that

would be boring to everyone but me, and possibly the people

involved. but in summery: (haha i just spelled summary

wrong, but i like the irony so im going to keep that)

-- take every chance you can to meet a new person.

meeting just one, single other person opens up another world to you, just as huge and all-encompassing and complicated and interesting and pained and beautiful as it feels like your own life is. if i could just meet at least one new person each day.. id be so worldly :) despite my lack of traveling

--take the risk to be the vulnerable one to someone. because everyone is human, and (this is just my belief, i could be completely wrong) everyone just wants to love and be loved in return. the more love you give out, gets returned to you with extra, and then you have more to give, and get, and give ... its a cycle. i am cringing at my corny-ness right now, but thats how i feel

my dad told me yesterday "you fall in love with something new everyday". i hope i never ever ever ever stop!
