Stealing Glances

Whenever I have someone that I'm truly friends with, who I share experiences with and who I come to associate a period of my life with, I remember them always. Once in awhile I wonder if they think about me with the same frequency and with the same sense of meaning and longing that I do them.

Mostly though, I hope that you remember Pooh bear and being unproductive best friends. I still remember the way you honked at people for no reason in your car and how I felt that I really understood the way you saw other people and how deeply you cared about them. I've always been the type of person to think back to the past often, but if I could only have one second chance in my entire life, it would be with you. It doesn't make sense, but I think about you and miss you often.

By the way, I had a wonderful birthday today with my family. I received a panda tie, new headphones, some books and a USB keyboard, among other things. I'm slightly (not to slightly) ashamed to say I got most excited about the panda tie.

Hi. Hey! How are you? I've been without a computer for a few days, and have been passing my time doing other things (reading, tending to the massive amount of summer homework I have) and have been overall enjoying myself. I really like the apartment I'm living in - despite my modern furnishings I can very well see each room of the house playing a role in some sort of film about college students in the 40's. Lots of aged wood, white walls, and old-fashioned furnaces. It's pretty snazzy.

Of course, now that I have my computer back, everyone following me on twitter has a chance for me to significantly annoy them again, so hooray for that. I know this probably seems scatterbrained, but there's just so much on my mind lately. Everything going on right now definitely has the makings of a very positive, productive summer, and I'm quite excited about it.

In music news, ex-Be Your Own Pet vocalist/awesome human being Jemina Pearl's solo project has finally released some material on her myspace, and you can read all about the crazy, drunken, fun-filled recording process at her blog. Her voice is a little bit less gritty and a lot more melodic in these recordings, although one downside of that is that she's lacking the throaty, Kim Gordon-esque wail that made her stand out so much in Be Your Own Pet. The songs are great though, a little bit of garage rock, a little bit of surf punk, AKA they're fun and you should listen to them.

And on a final, parting note:



You don't have to know me very well to know how excited I am for this movie. Judge it as you will.
