Day 17 never happened.

Day 17 - Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why


I wouldn't.

I like me.

I like the shoes I'm in and the skin I wear.

Some little girls want to grow up and be a billion different other girls. I always just wanted to be a better version of me.

See. I told you I was self-centered.

Things I that I love 8/10/10

• Vinyl Williams @ Kilby Court. Best band I've seen out of SLC in a while.

This night kept up the waves of nostalgia for hanging around the sketchy alley of Kilby Court, spending time fixing my hair in the graffiti-ed and be-stickered bathroom with my girls, collecting the free pins and stickers, flirting with boys with greasy hair and tattoos... ah the traveling bands. I don't miss you very much.

• Long car drives.

I've spent a great deal of time shooting photos of Chris in this exact angle: sitting to his right, as he takes command of the wheel.

• My faux-tattoos.

This face was on my forearm for about a week and a half. Much long than one would assume was sanitary. I just couldn't bring myself to scrub it too hard in the shower.

• 24th of July fireworks.

Katie B, Chris, and I got to do some thing not normally legal, something silly that shouldn't have made me feel so rogue-ish, something that probably isn't worth writing home about... but we sat in the middle of the street, with our bikes propped up against the median. Kicking back in the middle of the road, with hundreds of other "deviants" made me long for a good picket line or sit-in.

• Storm-ridden skies, with the sun streaming through the cracks, cheering me up and changing me for the rest of the day.

• Escaping parties. Look at this happy Exteena-girl.
• The Tokyo Pop van. (Still wondering why was it even in SLC. Ah well, my gain.)
• Kittens. Inspired by KITTENS. I played with Mandee's kittens all weekend, but I DO need to stop by Pearl's to see these little lovelies:

To absquatulate by sleep.

I slept 13 hours yesterday/last night.

Please bless that it's not mono, or I'd be proving the IHC nurses right.

Those vampires stick needles in me and suck out my blood (annnd maybe keep me hydrated, but I'm not dwelling on the good here), whilst crossing their fingers that I'm disease ridden, so they can glare at me with those accusing eyes.

As it stands RIGHT NOW, I'll be escaping back to bed as the work day is through.

(Maybe I'll wake up and go get frozen yogurt with Jess. MAYBE.)

(Update. I will NOT be getting frozen yogurt, as Jess has to go to a stupid wedding. Fine. FINE.)

Day 16: How to be self-absorbed.

Lesson 1.

Wear my clothes.

Lesson 2.

Sleep in bed

Lesson 3.

Be me.

It's my BIRTHDAY WEEK. So I can do what I want. (Day 16: Another photo of yourself)

Things that make up a good night:

• Sitting on and climbing around the steps of the Capitol Building in the middle of the night.
• Spending quality time with some of my best people- Jackie, Chris, and VincewhoisJeremywhoisVince.
• The Hipstamatic app for the iPhone. It's not just a fad.
• Summer.

Day 14 - η οικογένειά μου

In other words: My Family:
(Jewel tones and hotness. I wish I was blond too.)
