mid-summer

Wow okay, yes hi hello. It's been quite a bit of time, hasn't it? Hm. Well this past week in particular wasn't my best, so I apologize for the lack of posts here. I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things; here, and with everything else that's been happ'nin in my life.

Fourth of July was fantastic up until night's end. Downtown was cleaned up a bit, the air wasn't too chilly, and the fireworks were surprisingly impressive. I was with family only, since Mia was in Vermont and Kara was having a family party. On the car ride home, stuck in traffic, my mom pointed out a fight in front of some pizza joint to our left. A man in red was beating the living shit out of a lanky guy with corn rows, and even went so far as to pummel him with some sort of metal bar he got from his hummer. Between our bumper and the car behind us a shrieking girl took a blow to the cheek from what I assume was her boyfriend. My dad beeped the carhorn and my uncle jumped out of the passenger to grab the attention of the police. It was horrifying, there were puddles of blood on the sidewalk and everything. Absolutely terrifying, the crowd surrounding them took note yet no action, and the cops shrugged their shoulders with a "Nothing we can do," according to my uncle. Other than that my night was enjoyable! We also had cake for Ryan, opened cards, that whole thing. He's 20 now.

I hung out with Mia just about every day this past week. We found things to do and made things to do and it was eventful nonetheless. Yesterday Sydney and Vicky were walking by and so Mia and I chilled with them for just about the rest of the day. It was real nice, I ate some cheese doodles and bought a green tea.

I haven't been running either. The rain put me out for a good four days straight, and somewhere within that time my motivation vanished. This past week I wept myself out of a good two days due to how shitty I feel the morning after a cry(multiple cries), and the rest of the week can be blamed on lack of sleep, for I would've been dreaming by 3 and rising by 6. Excuses, excuses, excuses. I start anew tomorrow, haha.

Today I changed all the albums I have on my ipod, literally went tanning in my backyard for about an hour, cut my bangs, ate a peach (see above!) and watched a few episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia via hulu. There are birds making a nest in my window and turkey babies chizzin' beneath my trampoline right now.

I found some really weird/cute/awesome tights online today:

Some french designer named Marion Dubois has this new collection of leggings with prints on them, like these laughing mouths, and the fashion site I stumbleupon'd noted them as controversial yet alluring or some shit like that. I don't know, I kind of really like them. She has other ones that are made to look like bugs are crawling up your calves, or ones that create the illusion of undesirable veins, which, I don't think are half as appealing as the pair pictured above to be honest.

I don't mean to cut this short, because I did have more to say but my parents want me to go watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with them right about now, so until next time
