sitting, waiting, wishing

camp is coming up.
camp is coming up.
camp is coming up.

it's weird to think that this thing i've been talking about for months is a few days away.
even though i've been there, i really have no idea what to expect.

i hope it challenges me.
makes me grow as an individual and leader.
and reconnects me with the friendships i've made along the way.

sesh 2. do the do.
i can't imagine ucla without it.

chasing pavements

i was thinking today about the phrase “opposites attract”.
i think it’s true. but that’s irrelevant.

the more interesting question to me is whether it lasts.
and in most instances, my guess would be no.

how do people find that exact right balance between being too similar or too different?

i get that people change as time passes.
i just hope it’s actually possible for people to change together.

i’ve very rarely seen people that are happily married.
or even really happily involved.
and that is so immensely depressing.

i know i’m still young. marriage is a decade away.
but it’s something that weighs down on me from time to time.

cause mostly i’m afraid that i’ll be the rule.
not the exception.
...to quote a mediocre movie.

ultimately though, and possibly foolishly,
i still think people can work it out. be happy.

wonderful world

when i was driving on the freeway the other night i was given a nice surprise.



thank you disneyland.
and i wasn't being a totally reckless driver.
... i didn't take the picture myself.

the best fireworks, though, hands-down, are the weeping willow ones.
sad and graceful at the same time. i love them.

can't let it go

i have a complaint.

i went to a drive-thru yesterday, and saw something i hadn’t come across before.
the window from which they pass you the food was not on the driver’s side.
it was on the passenger’s side.

wtf?
what if you’re in the car by yourself?
having to get out of the car defeats the purpose of fast food.

someone didn’t think that one through.

lazy day afternoon

listening to taylor swift's song "fearless" on repeat.
indulging in quintessential girl's music.

happy fourth.

do you know what i'm seeing?

today i've been movie-trailer browsing.

i'm partial toward characters with wit and the ability to give a good smirk.
sherlock holmes:


i probably wouldn't see this movie with different lead actors.
but a nia vardalos and john corbett reunion? i don't think i can miss that.
i hate valentine's day:


a scary thriller by martin scorsese... so odd. but as always, leo stars.
dvd rent-worthy. kinda scary for the theater.
shutter island:


and i didn't post the trailer, but go see 500 days of summer. it's not a new story, but the way it's told and edited is pretty great. waiting for the soundtrack.
