okay, so i am making this post on june 16th, which is more than halfway through 2009, but i have been toying with making an entry keeping track of the books i've read and movies i've watched for a while now and i'm bored so i'm just going to make it. i've been recording both on my own for the entire year, but why not share with the internet!

i'm going back to work tomorrow! i'm going back to work tomorrow! i'm so excited!

Silver things, they've never been good to me
Oh silver please, you know you've never been good to me
And I could see, I'm understanding
And it's just I didn't want to travel alone that much

Simple things, they tend to mean a lot to me
And busy? Please, you know some people are swamped
Those little things, yeah, you should pay attention
'Cause busy? Please, you know some people are swamped

And I could see, I'm understanding
And it's just
I didn't want to travel alone that much

Tell me where the start is
You can tell me where you heart is
Tell me where your heart is, where your heart is,
But don't say nothing

It's not for me, and I'm understanding
So speak up please
I don't want to be
A stranger in the Golden State
Oh, it's just I didn't want to travel alone that much
I didn't want to come back home and be alone.

1) the dining room is amazing. when it is over (guh! 2 days!) i will be a very, very sad girl.
2) i finished charmed thirds this afternoon and it was spectacular, if not quite as good as SF and SH.
3) this weekend is going to be ridiculous and i am going to get no sleep at all between friday morning and sunday night, but i'm still excited about it. even the SATs are kind of exciting, even though i'm going to do terrible on them... standardized testing?! right on!
4) mr. devlin has started calling me rip van winkle because i fall asleep in his class a lot.
5) i love pizza.
6) this afternoon felt like summer and i am so happy it's warm out and the trees are nice and green again and everything is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

i am wearing all black tomorrow. i am in mourning for america. who's with me?
