I now pronounce Sept. 18th: Nerd Celebration Day.

What this lovely Saturday consisted of:

10:00 AM: Woken up by a phone call from my lovely friends telling me to be ready in ten minutes because Im getting picked up. Oh, and to bring chocolate chips.

10:15 AM: Hit up Starbucks for the ever so scrumtious pumpkin spice lattes, where I not only saw the infamous Hilary Sasse [best friend's mom], but I also scored myself an interview on Tuesday to be barista. YES!

11:00 AM: Make chocolate chip pancakes at Jason's house.

11:55 AM: Plop down in front of the television with our pancakes and watch Lord of the Rings.

3:30 PM: Drove in Ellie's car through the rain to Powell's City of Books [aka, MOTHERSHIP] where Jason and I nerded out on J.R.R. Tolken's books and I purchased The Hobbit.

5:00 PM: Return home to watch Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

7:00 PM: Ellie and Jason leave to an obligatory dinner while I await them to return to our marathon.

THIS DAY IS BLISS.

Also, it's pouring outside. And it's days like this, where I've been in my pajamas all day watching Lord of the Rings and eating a lot, that I really don't mind the rain.

Haikus to 99 degrees.

Naked body thinks

It is too hot for clothing

Even in the night.

This warmth is blissful

Please stay this way forever

I despise the cold.

This sunlight beaming

On my body and my soul

Bursting everywhere.

Seriously?

Ok, ya'll can just scratch that last post. Because it's July, right? WRONG. It's raining.

Bullshit, I say.

July: My Main Squeeze.

I love the beginning of new months. Love them. I feel like 30/31 days is just enough time for a month. You're just getting sick of it by the time it finally ends. And it's gonna be July now. The heart of summer. Where the sun shines it's brightest, you drink the most iced tea, attend the most BBQs, spend the most time outside, and wear the least amount of clothing. Those are all pretty much my favorite things. Hence, July is my favorite month...next to October, because I really do just love the beginning of the season of fall.

June is such a tease. It's supposed to be summer, but really, it's just gloomy most of the time. Stupid June. I've tossed you out and moved on to July.

I can be a ho when it comes to months.

Sun.

I dont know how many times I've talked about sun on this blog.

Probably like every other one.

But what can I say, its my favorite.

And right now its like 70 degrees in Portland in April, and that is just about the best thing that I could ask for right now.

Once again, I am smoking too many cigarettes, and spending too much money, and not doing enough homework. But Im happy. Real happy.

Even though Im blowing off things that need to be done and probably not making the best decisions, I feel like I am at a good place in my life. Things feel like they're falling into place, right where they should be.

It's weird though, because for some reason I have this looming feeling in the back of my mind that this feeling wont last long.

Welp! Guess I should enjoy it while I can.

ohh spring.

Sho.

Spring.

Getting warm. beautiful.

I literally cannot bring myself to go inside until the sun goes down.

Classes. ehhh.

Losing things are great. even when you've been holding onto them for so long.

Its almost a relief. A reassuring one.
