This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one loves.

just some pictures out of many i've been taking, picking raspberries and doing henna. perhaps there will be more to come.

onto eclipse tomorrow...wondering if its even worth it.
anyway, hope you're enjoying summer as much as i am.

over and out,

The finest clothing made is a person's skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this.

i dont usually do clothes posts, mainly because i'm not fully 100% into clothes, or enough to post about them, but i found these really cool clothes today, and also i needed something to post about. the jeans are from gap originally at $90...got em for $27. so i'm happy :)

anyway...

This dream is of a carnival

me and two of my friends went to the fair yesterday, it was pretty awesome. i refused to go on any of the upside down rides so i looked like a loser the few times they went on with out me, but then they made me go on...wait for it...the zipper. it was freakin awesome. it was better but sort of scarier when you shut your eyes cause you cant see, but it was so much fun. pretty sweet.

anyway, thats all, i am crazy excited for a potentially awesome weekend with one of my close friends, you know who you are <3

au revoir.

You catch a flame to my sentimental view.

so last night i fell asleep listening to my ipod and i woke up at 2:00 am with the earbud cord wrapped twice around my neck. my subconcious mostly asleep brain thought it was a noose for half of a second. sometimes i wonder if there's something with my head...
so. the past few days have been...pretty much uneventful. so far. i've been playing a lot of music and getting a niiiice amount of sleep. so its all good. i went over to my friend's house yesterday, we just hung out and pretty much did nothing...listening to music, played my guitar and tried to sing, {we were kinda good actually} watched a tv show and made these amazing cookies. try it, its just brownie mix smothered on a cookie tray. i love that while doing nothing you can totally have fun. i did at least. oh and i finally watched sherlock holmes today. finally. see i have this thing where i NEVER see movies when everyone else sees them, its usually like a year after everyone was into it. so i actually made pretty good time with this one...it took me like three years to see public enemies and atonement, which both were amazing, by the way. anyway, for some reason i sort of really like sherlock holmes. so...yah. just thought i'd put that out there. also, just another random peice of current news in my boring little life...i'm kinda into nirvana right now. so.
anyway i'm going to go watch...transformers right now, for the trillionth time. dont judge me. please.

Spread your eyes and look closer, I'm beyond your peripheral vision

so. i'm bored, so i'm going to inform you on my current people obsessions {does that not make me sound like a total creeper?}
1. Jon Stewart, who is freakin amazing and halarious and i adore him. anyway if you're...bored or something check out the daily show, i love it.
2. jack white because i love his music, his hair, the way he talks, i adore his sense of humor, his writing style, the way he dresses, and he's also a freakin amazing guitar player, {he also just has a really interesting life that could literally be made into a really cool but weird movie} and 3. ani difranco because she is the most amazing musician and writer ever and she's totally political but in a comletely sane way, and plus she totally kicks ass live. i say this because i've seen her live at the kate wolf fest a few years ago. she was literally the best guitar player i've ever seen.
so. just thought i'd put that out there...if anyone reads this anyway. so.
over and out.

The days they fall like rain.

well i'm officially onto my second week of summer. and its going by sooo slow. it might be because i've been busy pretty much every day since summer. not today though...i can sleep.

so. i went over to my friends housitting job and slept over there, they have the coolest house ever. i seriously want to live there. it was amazingly fun though, we went in the hottub and fed the horses and donkeys and watched a movie on their projector and made dinner...i felt so productive. :D we went on a walk just up the road...had a little run in with a lizard. so it was right in front of us, and my friend stopped walking cause she saw it, but i thought it was a stick, so i turned around and was like why is she staring at a stick, and then i saw it...i dont barely ever scream or freak out really. that lizard saw a side to me most dont have the pleasure of seeing. aaand there was this freakin HUGE spider on the floor when we got back {i didnt really freak this time} but anyway. dont you just love nature? wow, that makes me sound like a total city girl, but dont worry i'm not, i live definitely in the country and i totally adore it.

but anyway. that was really fun, and then the next day i went to the harmony festival. i kind of love that festival, it kind of attracts the core of weirdness where we live. there was a guy as we were getting in dressed in a pink fur jumpsuit overall thing, he kept telling me 'here just give me your email and i can email you about another festival', i was like...no actually i'm not going to, sorry...he just gave me a card instead. it was about trees. then this other guy was walking past and i was wearing a led zeppelin shirt and he was all 'nice! led zeppelin...where'd you get that shirt?' i said ebay, he was like 'right on!' i was like suuuuure...anyway once you get past the...interesting...attire, or lack of, its awesome. there was really good music and they actually have really good food there. the other thing about the harmony fest, which is sort of inevitable is that its a total weedfest. which i dont mind but then people were smoking cigarettes too which for some reason bother me so by the end of the day i had the worst headache ever from the cigarette smoke. but i got to see my friend dance, which was awesome! and we were part of a painting too, it was pretty awesome :) its a pretty even list of pros and cons though, it was so hot, and plus tickets were $40. so i dunno...i'm not trying to complain here or anything, just trying to figure out if i'll go next year. i probably will unless the ticket price goes up.

then yesterday we had a family day which didnt end soo well...so we went to the beach yesterday evening, and my little brother brought his skim board. he spent about ten minutes trying to just get on it and then slipped and fell and broke his arm. i have it on video, its actually sort of funny....he was laughing at it too, so dont think i'm a mean sister. we didnt know it was broken until he went to the doctor that night, so now he's in a full cast. he's not taking it too badly, he made sure we all knew he couldnt do ANY work. so. :)

well i can tell this has been a thoroughly boring post, but i think i'm in kind of a bad mood, so i'm really sorry. i promise my next post will be better :)

over and out.

Wish 1.

even though i am bizarrely opposed to pink, i love this picture...its my girly side coming out. <3
Heres my newest blogging idea: I think I’m going to start a sort of type of post, wishes. If I could wish for anything, if i had thousands of wishes, and what I would do with them…something like that. So like a collection of posts, wish posts. In my head this sounded sort of cool, but putting it on paper…computer screen I guess, it sounds incredibly lame. And cheesy. Oh well…I’ll probably still try it anyway. It could be sort of cool. so.

Wish 1.
To have more time.

There's so many things i wish i had said, but now it's too late.

exeryone who sees this thinks its me, apparently...how does this look at all like me?? i mean im flattered i guess, but she looks nothing like me... oh well. just had to put something here to explain why i put it up here in the first place. so here it is.

so this week has been sort of amazing. i am out of school. finally! but you know what depresses me, because i know its completely twisted? im sort of glad that summer's short. i mean really, what the hells wrong with me? i dont know a single person ever who agrees. i do have a reason though, to see...someone. so. my friends still make fun of me though, no matter how much i try and justify my reasons.
also, i had a freakin fantastic last three days. so. thursday was my last day of school, i had to get through a math final, but orchestra was really...kind of fun. then after school i got five bucks from my pe teacher, then we all went downtown and pretty much just hung out, got food, free cookies, looked at wallets, i bought a tea, which no one else understands why i like tea, got green tea starbucks and smoothies, almost commited the act of trespassing, {haha, arent we such rebels?}, had an interesting time trying to keep earphones in our ears while walking on the highway, and i dunno...it was just awesome. then a few of us had to go play at the senior graduation, which was so loooooooooonnnnggggg. but me and one of my amazingest friends pretty much just talked most of the time so it was still fun. i have a question for anyone who ever reads this and if you have an answer just comment, have you ever heard of throwing tortillas at a graduation? or is that just my weird school? cause i swear to god there were like tortillas flying. everywhere. even some of the teachers were throwing them. i was so confused. and then...i didnt get to say goodbye.

isnt this totally sweet? this is actually my picture, i'm so proud :) i know its kida really cheesy but i found the idea on this website and i had to try it...isnt it kind of awesome?

so i borrowed my mom's phone because mine broke again and i was texting a bit on it and then i got home and...heres the convo...{i'm just going to try this out :) }
mi madre: you havent been texting on my phone right?
me: um. maybe. ?
mm: like how much?
me: um. not too much, like...20 texts. {i even rounded down, it was more like 24.}
mm: you're kidding right?
me: no...not so much.
mm: well my plan doesnt cover texts so youre probably going to have to pay for some of them...
me: k how much?
mm: i think like 2 bucks a text.
me: shit :0
haha yeh i dunno how well that whole dialogo thing really worked but oh well...it was sorta fun! anyway yeah, i am now officially in major debt. oh!!! by the way, i got an ipod!!! i mean i already have one but i had way too much music and i couldnt fit it all on so i got a classic, its pretty cool. its just black, but yeah. im happy :)
so...what else is new? hm... haha ok so i found out i got a C on my math final and a C- on my science final. which sort of depresses me and is also sort of ironic, because i thought i actually did ok. but now im really scared to find out how i did on my social studies because i literally BSed like half of it. my fingers are crossed though...

i love strawberries. so. freakin. much.

another highlight of my week: so we had our last pe class, which is a highlight all in itself, but we were playing ultimate frisbee {dont laugh} and the guys on our team were totally making fun of me and my friends and we were just kind of not caring but my pe teacher gestures me over to her and says emma, you need to tell them to shut the fxxk up, use bigger words!! big words are good!! tell them, i am asking you to!! so i actually did later, but i dont think they heard me. or maybe one of them did he just probably thought he heard wrong...dumbass. anyway that totally made my day.
so...anyway so then yesterday me and two of my friends had another sleepover, i made them come with me to this beatles tribute thing at this vintage clothing store right by my house at night, we showed up and we didnt know anybody so we walked downtown and then came back, said hi, then left and saw a movie. i was pretty sad, actually. and i felt really lame too. but anyway... we saw letter to juliet. it was...good. it was sweet but it was so totally cheesy, oh my god. i was cracking up in all the wrong parts. my friend kept looking over at me and i was laughing so hard i started crying except she thought i was reallycrying, and she was like emma, its not that sad. the guy in it was so akward though. it was totally awesome though, there were like two other people in the whole theater.

anyway, that has been my past few days, i'm in love with summer so far. but i'm also sad.

well...this was a dissapointment. i guess i wasnt really expecting anything, that would have been unreal. but i was wishing. maybe i didnt stay long enough for the wish to come true, who knows. i can dream, right?

anyway, i think thats pretty much it!!

oh by the way, all the pictures are actually mine this time, the picture of the girl is a picture of a picture i got from a really good seller on ebay, so i cant take credit for the actual picture. the picture of the picture though is mine...sorry i'm being so confusing.

bye.

{emma}

ps. i'm in love with this...and i can totally smell the summer<3
