kind of over blogging

hi I have some good news: my camera parts came and now i have a personally refurbished camera! also i found a monitor to plug my laptop into so now i can once again blog from the comfort of my bedroom. In bad news, I have NO photo documentation of the recent past, but i will make up for that in my forthcoming posts
So where did i leave off? Uhh the monday before LAST. jeeeez, hmmmmm....
I don't think I did anything important til friday. Summer school ended ... then i went on a bike ride and then i went shopping and coffee drinking with isabel and eloise. later on chrissy and i met melody and quinn and went to tagore's birthday party at temporary spaces. it was fun, everybody who was anybody was there. and everybody who wasn't anybody was there too. they seriously let ANYONE in. at the end we ate tamales and went to the after party in pismo beach or the palisades.. yeah the palisades. we stayed at this strange house until so early in the morning. it was weird and awkward for the bitch whose house it was I think.
Saturday i slept the whole day away and then went to the beach boys concert(well mike love, bruce johnston, and uncle jesse/john stamos)
here's a youtube I found of them playing summertime blues:

listen to the lyrics. . it hits a little too close to home.


anyway I didnt make it back to the real world/from alhambra until too late to go to rumspringa so some guy came over instead and we played scrabble and watched 10 things I hate about you.
sunday was the rumspringa show at the american apparel sale after party in some warehouse downtown. it was fun enough. here's a youtube of them too for your viewing pleasure. ACTUALLY scratch that, here's a cultural lesson for you all about the life of an amish:
gosh. . .

anyway oops i forgot something sunday was mom's birthday!! so we took her on a hike and bbq'd
happy birth mom!
on monday i went to paradise cove in the daytime and jayne's birthday party at talia's house in the nighttime. we went swimming and drank too much whiskey, actually.. maybe only i did. tuesday? recovery. and i got two new floral coolotte(??) rompers. wednesday? I had a job interview for the red bull wiiingsteam. I don't think I'll get that job, it didn't go well. maddy interviewed also, i think she's going to get hired, but don't worry i'm not bitter. i took the 761 to westwood and met nick and chrissy.. we went to don antonio's to meet andrew and his posse... then i opted out of their party for a private booth with erin charlotte maddy and shelea. we drank a pitcher of margaritas and dollar tacos and it was a very fine dining experience, in my opinion. pictures coming soon of that.
afterwards we all went to andrews and drank wine. then to some highrise apartment building to meet up with samantha and carolyn and turns out all of the rest of santa monica's alumni. suki, your brush with death was the main topic of everyone's conversation. what next? oh nathaniel cody and andrew g came by and things got awkward because i am a mole. we tried to find the roof. failed. then all the people that mattered went back to erin's for the first annual summer ball. um we huuuung out then me and erin watched part of deadringers and fell asleep.
it is a weird movie i hope to see the rest of it one day. the first scene was on youtube:



Mmmm then i woke up today.. drank iced coffee. went to eat really good indian food on venice. drove around culver city and then went to erin's dentist appointment.. read magazine's in the waiting room. that was the most time i've spent in a dentist's office this millenium. which is terrrrrrrrrible i know. then we went to the grove and then i went home on the subway. i watched stupid tv all night and now i'm going to bed!
this weekend should be fun. and if not on sunday i leave for camping in twin lakes? or i forget where. i'm excited. there will be a good follow up post after that i assume.
anyway one last shout out to maya, happy birthday! do you even read this??
and here's a picture i like of you
okay this post probably totally ruined my blog's reputation. i'm sorry! come back soon...................

what do i say what do i say

whats up are you ready for this? here's what my summer like, i'll make it as chronological as possible! This week on monday I tried to go to the room on cahuenga, but for some reason the door man was being an especially big tool this week and rejected me and eloise. So we grabbed chrissy and annette and went to the red lion and cha cha lounge instead. it was my first time(s) there and they were nice. some gentlemen bought us stagen optimators(?), then we met back up with el and chris and played in the photo booth.. In the end of the night that wasn't very long at all I ate 1.5 vegetarian burritos from burrito king. pictures below



the next day i went to school in the day time and at night quinn took me and eloise to the mandrake.. it was kind of dead this week. Caitlin Pugh came though, cayal for a minute, and alex blum for another minute, oh and ben nyberg! despite the deadness we still managed to close the place up.. again. Afterwards, we collected ourselves and went over to chrissy's. Daniel drove us home very late and ran out of gas on the 405. It was almost really bad i think. No pictures this week, but here we are there last week:

introducing maddy, erin and mele, and me of course. am i blogging right????

What else do I have pictures to post things about? On friday Charlotte and erin picked me up after a big fight with my parents and we went to the Getty for Dan Deacon.. We got there too late, but saw a lot of people and some DJ was still playing records. Hi shout out to stacey enoch and luke silasEverything got frantic about where to go next, we ended up at willa's. Erin and i made delicious sangrias which got us through the first half of the night but before midnight we stumbled over to 7 11 for free slurpees to spike.
We ended up in the valley and drank a lot of go girl until sunrise a
t nathaniel's, we went swimming at like 5. it's a weird summer but these nights are the better ones. finally we dried off and spike took us to donuts and then home.. erin had a flight at 9 am or something absurd. she sooomehow made it??


The next day/after that morning I woke up at 4, watched walk the line on tv, quinn
came over at night and we went to that ridiculous beverly hills party. A lot of people from high school and sbcc were there. it was fun? charlotte fairfax samantha max cody nathaniel travis gosh a lot of people ended up coming. but THEN the cops came. they put on a comedy show before kicking everyone out. most of the people i liked there went back to chrissys/my new house. . .. the night went away after a while and i went to sleep.


sunday we went to the beach with andrew. we started walking to paradise cove but the tide was getting too high. we hung out in the ocean for a little bit and then went home. that night quinn came over, we played scrabble until he got childish and ruined it all. I watched a lot of entourage and went to bed. now we're back to monday. which is where i started.
the weekend's tomorrow.. there are a lot of parties, but also a potential ride to santa cruz? do i pounce? or just not go because there's only one more week of summer school so i might as well just wait until the end right?

right probably.
