i gotta let it all out

arden has a job?

madness. but for sooth!

it's actually kind of fun, so all is good. woop woop. throw your hands up...

yeahhhh... anyway. going to the beach this weekend, for the fourth, but coming back that night (wtf lame?) because both nick and i have work the fifth. totally lame. at least i think it's the fifth. maybe not. who knows.

austin was pretty awesome, lots of general enjoyment while complaining of long classes. though we did get a theme.

also, i am apparently unladylike for saying things like pissed. gosh darn it, and here i was trying to be civilized. dern.

yeah i'm hyper. oh oh oh oh

doin my thang

i hear in my mind

apologize for previous pathetically whiney posts.

in other news! i've been having a great past few days.

trevor + spring woodites: i. will. get. you.

i dont know what it is, but i'm in a particularly spectacular mood. and i'm not going to let small things continue to bug me, even in the least. well, try not to. i think the dancing again has a lot to do with it, before this week i hadn't really done anything physically strenuous (...i know what you're thinking, you dirty people). endorphines are good and such.

also, it has just been good. *shrug*

peace out.

all this music

where'd you go

you know what?

the worry about going to college.

it's way outweighted

by my desire

to just get the f*** out of here.

i miss you so

i want to give you something

this week... has pretty much been freaking awesome, for the most part. the mario party party, guys, was awesome. it needs to happen again. also seeing movies? what? i haven't been to see a movie since like... a long time. but cars was really good, and nacho libre was good (but not too spectacular).

also lots of other hanging out. jill, i'm +++ glad you are back. i kept almost calling you. and daniel too, you slacker. same with dee, only you're not back yet... since you won't be for a while and all. my spring woods homies, hanging with yall has reinforced the fact that i missed it a lot this year.

and you freaking graduated boys... what am i going to do when you leave? nobody will be online any more but me! it will be tres sad/upsetting.

and becca gets home sunday! which is exciting. and... lauren is still in germany... uli leaves, which is really sad. i'm going to miss you so much, uli. french class will never again be the same. you are an amazing person and i hope you still talk to me when you get back to germany. maybe we will all just have to come visit you.

i leave tomorrow for the beach (really early, too. bleh), where i will be until sunday night. i leave again next friday for yearbook camp (as if i wasn't cool enough already, right?). after that begins my sporadic being here/not being here-ness which will continue until the end of summer. so much for days of waking up at noon, not making plans until really late and getting home at midnight... sigh... oh well.

truth be told, i'm scared shitless about college. i want to go and all, but where... and what will happen. everything changes, you know? you lose touch with the friends you've had for so long. we will be out on our own for the first time. i mean, i'm sure we'll be fine, everybody seems to be. it's like when i was scared that i would kill myself almost instantaneously upon getting in the driver's seat of a car. but all the applications and the trying to make yourself look good... the doubt is tremendous. looking back, i almost regret not doing some things. never really getting my gold award, not trying harder in some of the classes i didn't like as much, never really having initiative with art, never doing something truly amazing.

/rambling of the day.

i've been wanting to give to you for years...

you know you want to.

maybe we could be happy again

and i want this

woohoo summer! it has actually been nice outside (if you ignore the fact that you basically have to swim to get anywhere...). so i've been outside! it's amazing, i know. i'm actually kind of tan. "what?!" you are thinking. "arden is not a pasty white?!?!"

i'm stunned too.

hung out with becca a lot this week. and shanon. it was pretty cool. sadly, rebecca left today for a cruise. same day we left last year for ours. oh, the memories.. the remaining three of us should have a party or something. get all nostalgic... "remember that time.. that we played pingpong on deck... or... or when that guy in the food place after midnight pulled down the thing for frozen yogurt and walked off and it got everywhere... yeah... cave tubing..." those were the days. i'd def go back to then. if it didn't mean having to go through junior year again. because that would suck. a lot.

oh yeah, we went to the bluebell factory and i got fat off ice cream. i took a few pictures (i've been especially bad about that this year... there are few pictures for some and no pictures for most of our adventures), they are on facebook.

chilled with danielle yesterday, which was awesome. probably some of the best fun i've had all summer. had sample lunch at central market then shopped around... kind of had no idea where we were going at all. all in all, it was pretty chill. love ya girlie.

yep... now i'm bored...

just to see you

thanks to all those who came out saturday night. i hope all the getting lost and watching little girls stand on stage was worth it.

and summer is officially begun for me now. sadly, this also means i will be out of town more. my heart goes out to all of you in summer school, because that seems like it'd suck. and also to the astros because they did suck tonight.

i would also like to give my soul to rebecca for being the awesomest scoop player i've ever met. and extend to her the idea that we should go to baseball games because 1) there's an incredible number of attractive boys there and 2) they'd probably be good at/willing to play scoop. also, we kick some serious bootay at ddr.

that is all.

i would do anything
