so much love

Summer '09 has barely begun, yet...
soooo many stories to tell.

first, there was Sam's drama party.
i met an Irish boy, a 6 week-old chiuaua, and a boy that i've gone to high school with for the whole 5 years, yet he shook my hand, said "nice to meet you Emma, I'm Trevor" as if he had never seen or heard of me before. he probably hadn't. huh. fun =)

then, there was a Peak Detour partaaay at Trevor's (not the same one as above) cabin.
we swam, swung, blew up Santa with fireworks, got kicked out of Newport Beach campground by an angry man named Cal, lit MORE fireworks, captured a cat, danced, discovered new music, ate Honey Combs cereal for the first time in years, drunkenly booked it down a dark dirt road (several times), cuddled, spooned, friendly kisses, laughed so hard, went 170 km/h on the highway, got some chinese food...

whoo.

i need an Advil.

Steadier Footing - Death Cab for Cutie

It's gotten late and now
I want to be alone
All of our friends were here
They all have gone home
And here I sit, on the front porch
Watching the drunks stumble forth into the night

You gave me a heart attack
I did not see you there
I thought you had disappeared
So early, away from here
And this is the chance I never got
To make a move
But we just talk about
The people we've met in the past five years
And will we remember them in ten more?

I let you bum a smoke
You quit this winter past
I've tried twice before
But like this, it just would not last

likes: driving in your car with you all day and that it feels like riding a rollercoaster. a really loud, really fast, yet really safe, rollercoaster.

dislikes: that i can still smell your strawberry-flavoured cigars on my clothes 3 hours later.

conversations with my mother

"what are you baking, mom?"

"Amish cinnamon bread."

"whaaaat? why is it Amish?"

"I don't know..."

retro sunglasses are the shit

Peak Detour canoeing trip:

• listening to Rise Against, The Offspring and gangsta rap on the bus ride
• slathering on what seemed like POUNDS of sunscreen (on both myself and others)
• at least 50 "I'm On a Boat!" references. damn you, Lonely Island. (only not really. i love me some Andy Samberg)
• celebrating Koz's 5oth b-day with a "cake" that consisted of a chocolate cookie, melted marshmellow, Gushers, and a half-burnt birthday candle.
• watching Koz get hit on by the overweight, bleach-blonde-with-a-helmet-of-black-roots campsite ranger with Amanda and Kaylee
• singing everything from Metric to Death Cab for Cutie to Muse to Coldplay to Our Lady Peace to more Lonely Island with Gavin and Casey in attempts to make the canoeing go faster
• Dave the "big-ass" bug who liked to party
• Sarah's, ahem, well-endowed marshmellow
• SWIMMING (a.k.a being charmed, then tackled into the water)
• getting my tan on (kind of)
• Bryan and Marty's trout!
• developing really defined arms
• sleeping on the beach and talking for hours
• reading Cosmo with the boys
• and so much more...
