You are dancing through my veins.

The tranquil lights, stark water, conspicuously brave colours. Summer is the perfect time for love.

Shocks.

There's something beautiful about animals, and how they love you. Unconditionally. Unprejudiced. They don't care if you are good looking, or thin, or rich, or have high social status. They don't pay any attention to the color of skin or social beliefs or who you love. As long as you love them. And they will love you back with everything they have.

There's something beautiful about that.

I just literally got hugged by one of the coolest cats I've ever met. I wanted to kidnap him and take him home with me. I restrained myself, don't worry. But...

And it was sad news, i was not magnificent.

I know it's twisted...but i love it anyways.

Hello again. I am back. From what, you ask? Well.

Basically for the past week me and my best friend have been doing two things: laying on the couch, and watching all the Harry Potter movies in order, to make an epic Harry Potter movie marathon. This was all a build up to the second part of the 7th movie, which we saw the midnight premier of. I loved it...seriously, i did. And I cried {alot}. They did leave out a few crucial things, in my opinion; however, i would give it 9 out of 10. Maybe 9 1/2 out of 10. It was brilliant regardless :D

Anyways, other than that i have been doing alot of nothing, hanging out with someone special <3, writing alot of songs, listening to alot of Bella Ruse, {which you should check out if you haven't heard already}, and sleeping. I should probably get started on my History and English homework but...ahh! One more day i can relax, then I'll crack down. Maybe.
Oh, also, in other news, i got my nose pierced! It really didn't hurt barely at all, but for some reason a few minutes afterwards, i thought i was going to black out. I had to lay down and elevate my feet...it was pretty embarrassing. But the girl who pierced it was really cool. So, it was all and all okay.

Well, overall this is a rather boring post, but i felt it was semi necessary since it has been awhile.
Later lovelies.

You were my concience, so silent now you're like water.

So a few nights ago in the late/early hours of the night/morning, i was laying in bed half asleep, and i had what i thought was a semi-brilliant idea. Make a blog about music..as in, every time i find a cool band, i would post it. Fully awake it sounds less brilliant and more mildly cool, but hey. With summer comes a small amount of boredom, however much appreciated. So, here go's nothing. If you're in need of some music i think is awesome, check it out ;)

P.s.: Happy day after the 4th. Hope you enjoyed the fireworks as much as i did, and also i hope you don't have a bangover ;) ...from the noise of the fireworks i mean. Dirty minds you have! Heheh.
Hasta luego loves.

Baby, you're a firecracker.

You light up the sky like a fire in my eyes, you bring me up bring me out turn me on bright.

This weekend has been amazing.

To start, friday was just a great day. Full of tea and one of my favorite people :) Saturday was Warped, which is a mass concert with over 100 bands put on by Vans that tours around every summer. I went with three of my best friends, and it was pretty amazing. The sound in the amphitheatre wasn't honestly that good, but i could tell that underneath the bad sound the bands were really good. If that makes sense. But anyways, we saw Relient K, Go Radio, Every Avenue, Hellogoodbye, The Wonder Years, Black Veil Brides, and a few others. It was pretty cool. And there was also lots of free cds and stuff, which made it even cooler. I felt right at home with the scene kids and the hipsters :)

The next day, yesterday, was the 3rd of july. Which, yes, to most others would be like, okay, so the day before the 4th? But. Here in my small hippie town, we do things differently. Meaning all the fireworks and big town partying? Happens on the 3rd. Which is cool because then today, the 4th, we got to do our own fireworks, and firecrackers. But anyway, i forgot how much i love fireworks. They are one of my most favorite things in the world; i loved just laying in the grass and watching the bright colors and sparks mesh with the stars.

Spin you round through the roar of this crowd, tonight.

Do you think i'm a gullible? Or even a gulli-calf?
I have recently realized that my family has a humor that would be completely foreign to any other person.

I can't even explain what I'm feeling right now. I can assure you it's a good feeling, so good. But there's just so much of it. I love it.

I got back from Seattle/Portland yesterday; essentially, I'm in love with Portland. I think I'm going to college there; at least; i have a hunch. There was the most amazing stores, like this one called Cargo that was the coolest store I've ever been to. Like an oriental fairytale. Filled with bunches of imports of bright rustic furniture and jewelry and posters and prayer flags and masquerade masks and little blue bottles and old newspapers and baskets and gorgeous embroidered bags and blankets and huge tapestries and tons and tons of cards and beads, all from Asia. I could have spent hours and hours in there.
There was also Powell's Books, which i did spend hours and hours in. It was brilliant. Supposedly it is the hugest bookstore in North America, or something like that. I could get lost in there, gladly. It was like a palace for books; I spent an hour in the first shelf.
Along with those there was the Doc Marten's store, a little coffee shoppe, an Irish pub, lots of food carts, and other little miscellaneous markets and cafes. I could spend weeks there alone just exploring. Someday.
Seattle was also beautiful. We stayed with some close friends, nearly family, really. They have a four year old daughter who is just about the most amazing child I've ever met, in so many ways. For one, she's got some crazy ukulele talent, and she is so intelligent. And she's also simply adorable. I can't wait to see who she will be when she grows up. Anyway, in Seattle we went to this music museum which had a set based on the history of rock, which was pretty amazing. There were hundreds of guitars; i saw the stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix played at Woodstock, and Kurt Cobain's guitar. My brother was in guitar heaven, snapping tons of pictures as we went. We stopped at this music shop also, which i had been to before. Quite possibly the greatest music store i've been inside. I played a telecaster, {my dream guitar}, and i also discovered that i really like steel guitars. They have a certain twang that's sort of mysterious and blatant simultaneously. So anyways, the trip was wonderful, despite the intense 30+ hours of driving. Even then.

The day before the trip me and two of my best friends ever went to The Maine concert, which was absolutely incredible; we were literally about ten feet away, so close. It was a blast. And they were really good live, which makes them that much better. When we got home at midnight we sat in my kitchen eating ice cream out of the tub and talking. I adore my friends more than anything.
And the other thing that is contributing to my intensely perpetual wonderful mood, is that i found someone. Or, i guess; we found eachother.

spin you round through the roar of this crowd tonight, tonight
dance you round throught the bones of this town until daylight comes
hope, hope will put the colors in the sky
hope, hope will set this world of wrong to right, to right
love comes tumbling down

Anyway.
Bring it on, summer. I'm ready for you.

I fly like paper, get high like planes.

Whoa. Long time no blog.
Well, my summer is officially underway, although my summer weather is not. It feels like christmas break, all rainy and windy and grey. However, despite the extremely depressing weather, it's been amazing. Seriously.

And i have something to admit. Basically, a few days ago i watched Burlesque..twice. And i'm totally in love. Totally. I know since that movie came out theres probably a bajillion other girls saying the same thing "Mommy i wanna be a burlesque dancer!", {not that i have literally said that by the way}, but it's so inspiring. All the costumes and the music and intense lights..mm. I know thats more the hollywood version of things, yes, but wouldnt it be amazing if every club in LA, and all other cities in fact, had that insanely awesome vibe and precision and amazing dancing? I would be in the city all. the. time. Anyway, so as strange and random as it sounds, i have a new bucket list item. Be a burlesque dancer for a day. Or, who knows, maybe once i do that i'll find its my calling. A girl can dream...am i right?

Other than that, i got some concerts coming up that i'm pretty psyched for, and i'm going to Portland and Seattle in a few days. I'm excited. It's gonna be an awesome summer, i can tell.
Cross your fingers for sun :)
