No sunlight, No sunlight

I love the new Death Cab For Cutie.  I want to see them live. I also want to see Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Coldplay, Incubus, Dave Mathews Band... I miss seeing really good bands play huge arenas.  I haven't been to a show since the Brand New NorVa incident. But now I have to see dance shows for school and write critiques on them.. fun.

I just won a Brita Ultramax Water Filter on eBay! so I don't have to keep buy

ing huge packages of bottled Aquafina and pollute the world with plastic.  Go GREEN!

Speakng of green.. I need money. I need a job. Someone help me please. If anyone in Richmond knows where I can work in walking distance or bus ride away.. please help a girl out.

I have no clothes too. I gave 1/3 to charity, 1/3 to my cousin and now 1/3 is left.  I hate my clothes.  Someone please take me shopping!

I wish Greer and Abe had moved with me to Richmond. I miss my best friends.

I got another tattoo. But it rubbed against a lot of things and is completely fucked now.. Ugh I'm embarrassed and mad at the same time.  I guess I never realized how much my wrist touches things. I have to wait for it to heal to get it touched up.. for free. 

Greetings from Richmond!

I moved to RVA. I've started classes at VCU. I'm still trying to adjust to this huge change in my life.  I'm trying to work through a long distance relationship now, and it's very hard.  I miss the smell of the beach.  I miss feeling comfortable.  But one day this will pass. For now, photos!

move in day, me and Abe.

hello richmond in august

So

I've graduated from Kellam and Governor's School now. I'm enjoying the first couple weeks of summer and working as a lifeguard again. I'm counting down the days but savoring them at the same time.

VCU move in day is August 17th and school starts the 21st.

I'm realizing who my true friends are.. who's keeping in touch, who's still talking to me, who's still trying to hangout this summer before we all go on with the rest of our lives..

I've also hanged my career plan a million times over.. right now it's: get a teaching degree and teach elementary school while going for my french and international studies degrees.. gotta pay those student loans somehow.

SO after reading this hilarious article in The Rolling Stone

about evangelicals and modern Christians, I've come to the conclusion that God is definitely not real.

God is a symbol. I experienced close to the same thing as these "born-again" Christians; cleansing their souls and being reborn into a new person. I do it all the time when I'm sick of myself and want to start fresh. God's "miracle" can be achieved by anybody. All you need is the will to change for the better or whatever your motivation is.

I guess some people just need a theology to believe in before they can achieve the feeling.

I'm also not going to vote for McCain, ever, after reading this article.

hahahahaha :)

Free yourself of doubt and danger

Amen to the Spice Girls for their amazing lyrics.

I'm in the midst of rushing to finish reading Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and eating some multi-grain crackers. I'm currently hearing M.I. A.'s single "Paper Planes". I'm still tired form GSA's 20th Anniversary Gala and all the "work" I had to do today instead of hanging out with my amazing boyfriend who I can't stop thinking about. He makes me so happy and I don't want to think about the end.

This coming weekend I will be in NYC with GSA on the annual trip. Then when I get back I'll celebrate one month with Abe. Then my last Spring Concert will commence and I'll bawl my eyes out at GSA Graduation the next week. Just barely feel sorrow at Kellam's graduation the week after and then be set free into summer till I move to Richmond.

Life seems so grand at this moment in my life. I'm the happiest yet.
