i haven't worked in like, forever.. but this past week i've been working non-stop: three days waitressing at Mei for a total of 13 and a half hours and i babysat twice. I finally had some cash in my pocket.

now, what do i do with the money? after so many months of depriving myself of things i wanted, how was i going to blow off all the money i've earned?

Things I've Already Bought
Crochet hooks, 5 and 5.5 mm
White cotton thread
hemp thread
knitting needles 4.5 mm (in pink!!!!)
Lava cake and ice cream from Applebee's

Things I Want to/Will buy
Ukulele/mandolin
camera maybe?
a bed set for my new dorm!!

the biggest thing right now is weather i should get the mandolin or the uke. I personally fell in love with the mandolin after hearing Chris Thile's cover of the White Stripes' song "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" (listen to it here). I know, it sounds very "hick-ish" but there's something so comforting and uplifting about it. BUT the downside to it is that it looks VERY hard to learn... not to mention there arent a lot of good songs to play for it. I dont want the intro to the Goo Goo Dolls' Iris. I want an entire, legit song to play.

So basically the ukulele seems like the better choice now since it kinda sounds the same as the mandolin, only the uke has better and more songs written for it. eeh. i wish i could buy them both.

Anywayyyy, you know what i really want to do one day? play my guitar in the dark. I went to this one show once where the band played in total darkness, and while they played all of these images ran through my mind.. kinda like i "saw" the music they played. It was kinda cool how i noticed the little details in the songs just because it was dark and i couldnt see anything; kinda like it heightened all of the other senses. i think that if i played in the dark it would sound different. i dont know, its just a thought.

i have too much time to think. it's not doing me any justice.

every once in a while i would get these little thoughts of gratitude. i often keep these thoughts to myself because i know not everyone can feel greatful for things like "water".

Whoever comes are the right people. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have. Whenever it starts is the right time. When it's over, its over.

Only, it's never quite over.

The other day i drove my friends to Point Pleasant Beach for the fourth of July fireworks. we had a GREAAAT time but i'll never forgot how i had to throw the coins into the "basket" for the road tolls, and i TOTALLY missed! lol.

cinderella's on her bedroom floor
she's got a crush on the guy at the liquor store
cause mr. charming don't come home anymore
and she forgets why she came here

sleeping beauty's in a foul mood for shame
she says "none for you dear prince, I'm tired today.
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming"

snow white is doing dishes again
cause what else can you do with seven itty-bitty men?
sends them to bed and calls up a friend
says will you meet me at midnight?

a tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
"i would have cut it myself if I knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere n' keep away from the windows"

once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
man made up a story said that I should believe him
go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
but I don't want the next best thing



Currently listening to: Fairytale by Sara Bareilles
