| 1) I find myself in a weird place in which Cupertino is dull, but Los Angeles is looming scarily.
2) I had my training meeting for Banana Blends at work last week - the
official launch is Saturday. I have not eaten a banana in at least a
good five years, and was unable to correctly peel a banana during the
meeting. Excellent!
3) I'm unable to figure out what it is that is making me uneasy.
4) I'm ever thankful for people who are genuine.
5) This list got a lot less exciting once I tried starting to write out the list I had made in my brain.
6) "Your comebacks they're quick and probably have to do with your insecurities. There's no shame in being crazy depending on how you take these words they're paraphrasing this relationship we're staging."
Summer is fun, and is also driving me crazy.

| The Mole.List of television shows that I really, really enjoy - these are shows that I really and truly enjoy every episode and can always watch.
1) Scrubs (Yes.)
2) The Office (I genuinely laugh out loud.)
3) Jon & Kate Plus 8 (THE cutest show, of all time. Favorites = Alexis and Aaden)
4) Project Runway (I'm a sucker for creative challenges, and the cast is always amazing. New season soon!)
5) Friends (Classic, I can still say most of the punchlines in each episode.)
6) Gossip Girl (Judge as you will - it's really addicting. Added bonuses: cute clothes, cute boys, good music.)
7) Gilmore Girls (Witty banter is right up my alley).
7) THE MOLE
While I watch a large variety of television shows, the above list sums up shows that I like the most and can always watch. But I have never seen anything like The Mole! A few weeks ago, Natalie randomly invited me to her Mole party to watch the second episode of the fifth season of The Mole. I had never heard of it before, and was instantly intrigued. Since then, I have watched almost the entire first season (I am on the second to last episode, and about to find out who the Mole is)! I had inspiration to write about The Mole about ten minutes ago, but now the next episode has loaded on my computer and I am too nervous about the finale to write more about the Mole in here. I guess all I have to say is watch the first season!
Ok this was a useless post. Goodbye!
P.S. Jim is amazing

| Tan.In the few days between Senior Checkout Day and Graduation, I went swimming twelve times. While I wasn't extremely pale before that week, I darkened a significant number of skin tones during this time. Since then, anyone who hasn't seen me comments on how tan I got. I found this somewhat amusing, and kept a running tally - I am at twenty-seven people so far. Fabulous!
Summer has been good. Reconnecting with friends, late night adventures, and many, many firsts: standing in the middle of a plastic table, for one. I just got back from the 10:55 showing of Wall-E - very cute and clever. Movies always put me into a unique mood.
Seeing '07 friends after they have been gone for a year at college is really interesting - everyone has definitely changed, though that is not necessarily a bad thing. People come back more adventurous, more courageous, more assertive. Or at least, that's what the general feeling seems to be. Generic wonderment: I wonder what I will be like after a year of college.
I'm not sure who is still reading this, but it is nice just to type out some brain-thoughts. Perhaps I should be typing somewhere that is not my seventh-grade Xanga.
Have an excellent day!

| The Bane of My ExistenceHere is a list of facts about me:
1) I have been working at Starbucks for three months now.
2) Anyone who knows anything about me knows that the two things I greatly dislike are feet and bananas.
3) I hate the sound of people eating bananas, and the obnoxiously permeating smell you get when you open a banana.
Today, I was informed that in two weeks, Starbucks will begin offering some drinks made with fresh bananas. This means that my job description will also include touching, peeling, and blending bananas. While I do not mind doing dishes, sweeping, or taking out the trash as part of my job as Barista, this banana thing is far grosser than anything I could ever imagine. What are the chances of this happening during the one time in my life that I am working at Starbucks? They really must have known I was going to work there in order for them to plan this. Absolutely disgusting: after work I will no longer just smell like coffee, I will smell like coffee and bananas.
Other than that, here is a list of thoughts:
1) Texas was really good, I am glad that I went.
2) I am not sure how I feel about a lot of things, but what else is new.
3) Friendships seem to constantly change; I am thankful for the ones that don't.
4) Choir 'graduation' occurs on Saturday - the end of a twelve year era!
5) I need to catch up on The Mole and SYTYCD
6) Making acronyms and pronouncing them as they are spelled is fun (my new favorite is ATBFBF, pronounced "at-biff-biff". It stands for Applications To Be Freya's Best Friend - a program to find Freya Sampson new friends after the Class of 2009 graduates from choir).
That is all!
P.S. Bananas are the bane of my existence.

| I'm not sure I quite recall how to do this - write for an online audience. Especially to an online audience of random people that I was writing to many years ago, haha. Xanga is now equipped with five hundred new bells and whistles that I don't know how to use, so I will just type into the text box I guess!
Here is a list of thoughts in my head.
1) I am generally not very public about my feelings. I suppose I don't really come off that way - I have been told that I am candid, extroverted, and borderline obnoxious. But I am extremely bad at sharing how I actually feel about things (I suppose this is also in line with disliking the feeling of being vulnerable). Haha, these past few sentences have already turned this blog post into a too-public touchy-feely thing that makes me uncomfortable. I think I just don't like that the internet allows people access to my brain that I did not personally grant them. Which I suppose means I shouldn't publicly write blog posts! Haha I have nothing of substance to add to this point.
2) I have been working at Starbucks for about two months now (working at such a job was deemed "unheard of" by my ever-musical family at a recent family dinner - spending time making coffee-based drinks instead of practicing musical instruments or working at a music-related job). It's been a lot of fun - the people I work with are so different from the people I'm used to, and I like getting to know regulars at the store and such. I'm getting a lot faster at making drinks, but I've yet to figure out how to do the dishes with the sprayer and not get really wet.
3) Schoolwork as a second-semester senior in high school has officially come to a halt - I am done with basically everything. I mentally checked out from school since school started this semester in January. Recently, class time has been spent doodling, playing Lumines Block Challenge, or reading an Archie Comics (yes, Archie Comics) that I never finished. A few months ago, on a slow day in U.S. Government, I doodled my brain onto paper:
(click to enlarge)
It was strangely liberating, and quite fun - I encourage anyone reading this to draw your brain on paper as well.
I don't have much else to write about right now, so I guess I am done. I haven't posted a Xanga post in years! I hope you had a good weekend, and have an eventful week.
