we will still be friends forever

graduation was this time last year. may 13th, to be exact. the elation of the day was heightened by the fact that i was going to a jm show that night with mell.
i find it interesting that graduation is called "commencement," the beginning: the act of starting something. most of us just think it's the end of college. the end of student life as we know it. no more tests! no more papers! no more grades! yesss. oh wait, going to law school. nm. but, you know. it's like the beginning of the end. post-school is when everyone gets to jump head-first into this abstract "real world" that everyone always talks about. gross. SO avoiding the real world.

anyway. i'm not so good at nostalgic blog posts. soo. here's a photo. maja from the sounds. the rest of them are over in my gallery over at forthesound.com.

ode to traffic. or not.

i don't even know why i don't walk to the gym. i live three blocks away and usually i insist on driving. just. because. the past two days, i've decided i would be dropped off, and would walk back. on my own accord. slowly. for about 7 minutes.

when you walk, things take longer. forces you to physically slow down. that light won't turn green until about 500 cars have whizzed by you, all of them seeming to be intent on blowing you over. when i finally looked around today, as i walked, there are so many things that i realized you never see if you just drive. and in la, that's all we do.

when you drive in traffic, you attempt to block out everything. except maybe the task at hand. and the music. the music always has to be on. but you won't see the little things, like the spiderwebs forming on your neighbor's gate.. or the lemon tree hanging over the sidewalk, heavy with fruit and inticing you with the sweet citrus smell (i almost stole one, but decided it would be tacky). i never realized the neighbor on the corner has a palm tree growing in front of his house.

overexposed and i love it.

anything but ordinary

my week has been one big blur. it usually consisted of sleeping at 2am and waking up at 8am (aka iowa where the two things that did not happen were eating and sleeping).. or not falling asleep until 4:30am and waking up at 9am (once i got home to LA). needless to say, my sanity is probably not at its most stable position right now.

so that was a pretty boring post, but for those of you who know me.. it's been a pretty good week. in honor of lists, here are a few choice phrases/quotes (ps. i stole half this list from jenny, thanks): 1) "stop being superfan, mao.. NO MORE PIXXX"; 2) silverlake vs. venice. advice on not being intimidated by hipsters; 3) "i can do this, i'm good at it"; 4) SUP COURTSHIP; 5) meatsticks.. ; 6) hi-fives; 7) RUDE.

i haven't even gotten to the anaheim part yet.

sneak peek:


in other news, i've got elisa saying "sup" and "awk." it's the end of the world as we know it..
