"you're a part of my bubble."

Illinoise.

I've made up my mind.
I've decided.


I'm going to spend a hell of a lot of money for a one-day pass to Sasquatch. Hopefully it'll be worth it. Decemberists!
There goes most of my next paycheck. ;____;

Black.

L: Old black magic has me in its spell
K: Old black magic that you weave so well
L: Those icy fingers up and down my spine
K: The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

L: That same old tingle I feel inside
K: And then that elevator starts its ride

L: Down and down I go
K: Round and around I go
L: Like a leaf, caught in a tide

K: Well I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm aflame
L: Flame, burning desire
K: That only your kissss
L: Put out the fire!

For you're the lover I have waited for
K: You're the mate that fate had me created for
And everytime your lips meet mine
K & L: Baby!
L: Down and down I go
Round and around I go

In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
K: In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
K & L: In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love

K: I should stay away but what can I do
I hear your name and I'm aflame
L: Flame, burning desire
K: That only your kissss
L: Put out the fire!

You're the lover I have waited for
K: You're the mate that fate had me created for
And everytime your lips meet mine
K & L: Baby!
L: Down and down I go
Round and around I go

In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
K: In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love
K & L: In a spin, loving the spin I'm in
Under the old black magic called love

Under the old black magic called love!

It's been stuck in my head. Maybe because I love Keely Smith's voice.

Lip.

I've had a good couple of days, I think.

On Friday, I waited waited waited. I had my eye appointment, and then spent the rest of the day pretty antsy. I wanted to go see some ska! Eight finally rolled around, and I met up with Calvin at Safeway when he got off of work. It was a little awkward, actually. I went upstairs with him, and when we were walking by the deli, one of the girls working their called out "Heyyy, Calvin! Is that your giiirlfriiiend?" Ha, he just said no and we both ran upstairs. It's not the first time someone's asked that. I think most of the time it happens at Safeway, actually.
Anyway, he got his paycheck, we grabbed Tera and booked it to Seattle, and we didn't get lost this time! I rediscovered my hate for giving directions from the backseat, though.

Get Down Moses was awesome, though some of the kids in the crowd were really really disrespectful. But Easy Street was pretty packed. I have a Get Down Moses button now. :D
Rude Tuna was up next, and I guess it was thier first show. And then we found out where all the disrespectful kids came from. They were all kids that go to school with the guys from Rude Tuna, and we were pretty sure they'd never been to a show before. A couple of them tried to start a fight. And Calvin complained a little that none of them knew how to skank and just stood around looking confused. "They don't really understand the concept of a circle." Well, except for Dreadlock boy.
When Rude Tuna finished their set, most of the stupid high schoolers left, leaving the kids who actually came to see some good ska. And the Diablotones were amazing! I'm kinda dissappointed that we had to leave a few songs into their set, but we had to get Tera home by midnight.

....
Except Calvin's Jeep did not want to start for us. That poor little red car. We finally flagged someone down to jumpstart the car, and I had to talk Tera out of yelling at the man for charging Calvin. It is really stupid that a grown man would charge a stranded teenager money to jumpstart his car. But we finally got moving, didn't get lost this time leaving Seattle (like we did last week, we decided Sonya was our bad luck. <3 Even though we love her.)



Yesterday was an early morning, though. Rehearsal was okay, but it didn't seem all that productive because we had a few people missing. I went to Ladro three times yesterday! Once for every shift, haha! Saw Drew and Annie in the morning, Jared in the afternoon, and then I decided to come back after my meeting to see Sima. <3 I missed that girl. She's so adorable!
Calvin finally showed at Ladro, and we went and wandered around the mall. We snagged Ashlyn a little later and went down to Richmond Beach. It was kinda nice getting to sit there on the beach in the dark and just smoke and talk. Oh, and sing. Haha, I miss singing with that beautiful girl.

We finally decided to venture forth for food, so we hiked up that big ass hill from the beach and hopped in the car and went to Beth's! I miss Beth's cafe, and I'm really glad we went last night. Calvin and I annoyed Ashlyn with our 'silent conversations', which I thought was hilarious.

We took Ashlyn home, and I saw Cole! And got hugs! It was awesome, I miss that kid too. And I worry about him. I really miss our talks in Play Pro last year. :( Nostalgia, sad stuff.

Calvin and I decided we didn't want to go home, so we went and got bubble tea and just sat and talked until we both realized we were tired and wanted to sleep.



That's what my last two days were like. Today I kinda just get to veg until NET tonight. And Vespers after. Hopefully we won't fuck up as badly as we did this last time. I hate how music team has just been crashing and burning this year.

I think I'm going to watch Robin Hood Men In Tights, and then maybe do something productive. Maybe.

Dancing.

Dancing through life, skimming the surface..

This morning I went and paid a visit to the eye doctor, yayyy! It's been a while since my last check-up, and since I'm the only one in my family that doesn't wear glasses or contacts, we decided it be a good idea to get my eyes checked out. Sure enough, I am not the odd one out anymore. I still have the best vision out of the five of us, but now I need glasses.
So, I chose a pretty pair, and I can pick them up next week. I'm kinda or glad, actually. My eyes won't get so tired anymore. They're really tired right now, though. My pupils are really dilated, and even though it's getting better, things are still fuzzy. It's a nice day out today, too, so I'm hiding behind sunglasses, and I'm inside right now! It's just a rare enough nice day that I can't stand to leave my window shut and the blinds closed.

Tired eyes, tired eyes.

It's finally friday! I'm really excited. I'm meeting up with Calvin after he gets off work and then we're going to go to a show at Easy Street Records. The Diablotones, with Get Down Moses and Rude Tuna. <3

Uhm, rehearsal tomorrow. At NINE! Crap, I actually have to get up at a reasonable time. And do some costume stuff. My mom's going to be working doubles for the next couple of days, so it's going to be me on my own for a while on the costume front. So much to do!


I'm going to go sort of watch a movie until my eyes go back to normal. It feel wierd, having achey eyes.

Bride.

And leave you, leave you here stripped bare.

For some reason I have a desire to hack off my hair. But I know that if I do, I'll hate it about halfway through. I should just hide my scissors and wait for Mykee to do it for me. That's probably the best plan. Yeahhh...

Hmm. I had a nice long conversation with Laura today. It was a good thing that we had it. Answered some questions, mine and someone else's. I hate having to ask someone something awkward for someone else. But I guess it's a good thing that I did. Now we know.

Skipping out on the jazz festival this weekend. I'd like to be able to do it, but I really just don't have the time or the energy for it. Might as well leave myself time to do costume stuff. Be productive this weekend.

Going to a show on Friday with Calvin! And maybe Ashlyn? I'm not sure yet, actually. But I'm excited to go. It's been a while since I've been to a ska show, and I've actually never been to Easy Street Records. The Diablotones, Rude Tuna, and Get Down Moses. Should be good. I'm not sure if I can go to the Natalie Wouldn't show next week, which makes me sad, but we're still on for Chaosapalooza at Studio Seven, so that's good. I still think Studio Seven is shady as all hell, though.


Kaz-ba tomorrow. Work after. Probably some costume prep stuff before either of those, since I don't have class. Or maybe I'll finally catch up in Jazz Hist? That might be good. Maybe. And then Friday! Display and Costume, costume work time, then meeting up before the show. Yay!







Goodnight.
