it’s funny how only 160 characters can have so many reverberations depending on what they are so arranged to say.
those 160 little items can make you smile or cause your brow to furrow put you in a better mood or piss you off cause you to laugh or stress you out let you feel warmth or stop you cold make you feel cared for or make you feel jealous put your mind and heart at ease, or do...

woe⋅be⋅gone
[woh-bi-gawn, -gon] –adjective
1. showing or indicating suffering: He always had a woebegone look on his face. Troubled, forlorn, gloomy.
why is charles dickens the only person to ever use the word woebegone? i have never actually heard someone use this word in conversation. it just doesn’t happen.
thank you, apples to apples, for calling this word to our attention.

"the duchess"
of every bitter(sweet) moment in this film, this scene is the one that made me cry:
because in a way, it was strangely familiar.
you know… looking back, you weren’t even sad the day i left. indifferent, at most.
i’m sorry i made such a fool out of myself.

so, my dad is actually in conway for a business trip.. he said the city is going crazy (as expected) and he sent me some pictures from his blackberry. he also went to that restaurant that kris mentioned and got some free cheese dip. haha.
this is the only picture worth showing, because of the bright lights and stuff. but he was relatively near the front, there were tons...
so, tonight
and tomorrow night.. my dad is in conway, arkansas on a business trip.
that’s right, you kris allen fans.. CONWAY.
i’m looking forward to hearing what he has to say about the madness. haha.
the weather is awesome.
so i’m going on a bike ride!
also, i’m not letting anything ruin my mood/day. it’s been a good one so far, including, but not limited to: watching the ellen show with my mom, laying out by the pool, going on a bike ride, working on my first “project” of the summer, the pool some more, the american idol finale, glee preview(!), hanging out with rebecca and the...

the houston chronicle just ranked the company my dad works for as the #1 public company in houston. houston’s a pretty big city with a lot of companies/businesses, if i do say so myself…
yay! congrats dad. :)

i picked these myself on polyvore.com.
and if i had this outfit, i would wear it at least three times a week. maybe more.
too bad the bag alone is $288. sick.
dear disgruntled starbucks employee:
you probably thought i was just being a typical “skinny bitch” for ordering my frappuccino sans whipped cream. on the contrary, i actually like whipped cream. on desserts.
but the whipped cream that you guys garnish the drinks with makes the last few sips pretty gross. it leaves a filmy texture in your mouth and pretty much ruins the last quarter of the already small drink that i paid...
last post for the night.
i’m literally itching for my friends to be finished with finals and get home. even though some are staying in huntsville… i don’t mind, we will visit. and this summer will still rule.
but up next, tonight: bubble bath, read my new issues of relevant and nylon tomorrow: star trek in IMAX, summer clothes shopping next tuesday: paper route at walter’s on washington....
look.
handful of new pictures added to flickr.
old pictures, but i’m slowly gathering them all in one place which feels nice and organized.
to twitter?
.. or not to twitter? that is the question.
reason #5 i love summer: that’s likely to be the most pressing dilemma i deal with all day.

um,
really? my, how convenient and well-timed..
hello, houston.
i told you i was going to come back! summer’s going to be great.
sure signs of being home: my family heard me coughing and called me a 300 pound male smoker.
i’m none of the above.
there’s no place home. <3
i haven’t cried in a long time.
this feels kind of good..

summer is in the air, i can feel it.
and i’m not just talking about the 95 degree weather..
i don't know why, but
i feel like watching mulan. i have that one song stuck in my head. the “be a man” one. sung by donnie osmond.
yeah, you know.
also, star trek was so good. no, really. go see it.

the movie looks so good. can’t wait!

currently, i'm:
- eating chocolate-covered pretzels - drinking fruit punch powerade - listening to manchester orchestra - writing a philosophy paper over all topics discussed this semester.
can you guess which one i don’t like?
the final countdown.

haven’t had a real tumblr update in a while. for those of you possibly reading/caring, i apologize.
tomorrow begins my last week of school for the semester. i can’t believe a whole year has gone by. it’s ridiculous. and scary.
your college years are supposedly the “best times of your life”.. i’ve got one year down and so far, i’ve...
