Teenage Dreams in a Teenage Circus

Yesterday a couple of friends and I went to the Strawberry Festival in Garden Grove. It was really fun just messing around making people feel uncomfortable. I, of course, had to wear something totally fierce! Alicia, Valerie and I wore sailor hats and nautical stripes. Hey it is Memorial Day weekend! We were just doing our civic duty and honoring the U.S. Navy!

I have to say for a "Strawberry Festival" there weren't a lot of strawberries. There was, however, a large amount of cholas and scene kids! We only rode one roller coaster and the bumper carts, but the most of the fun came from waiting in line. In one instance we almost saw a fight between a chubby chick and a group of scene kids. It was intense! The food was typical carnival food: sweet, fatty, fried and super mega delicious! It was expensive though ($7 for a corn dog and soda!). Anyway, I really enjoy moments like yesterday. There's something fun and nostalgic about them. Maybe it's the sugar, maybe the bumping techno. Whatever it is... it's magical.

P.S.- Oh today I wen't to the American Apparel Memorial Day weekend sale and I got some clothes which I promise to show later.

Listening: Björk, Homogenic

One the most beautiful albums I've ever heard.

The Animals in Collective

I went to the zoo last Sunday for my Physical Anthropology class. I had to write a paper on the Evolution of Primate Locomotion and Body Configuration. The essay was 10 pages long and it was pretty bad. Mostly half-assed. Anyway, the LA Zoo is pretty cool I thought it was going to be totally lame, but I really enjoyed myself. Mainly because my brother and I kept saying: "That animal looks delicious!" We mostly saw hominids, but I did get to see flamingos since they're really close to the entrance.

They're so gorgeous! Their plumage is so beautiful and the shades almost reminded me of the ombre that Rodarte did for Fall 2008. Not the palette per say, but more of the way the color moved throughout the garment. I just wanted to pluck a handful of feathers!

The gorillas were next. I don't remember much about this one. I know there was a female out there named Evelyn. They were very docile. Later I saw the orangutans, lemurs, giraffes and chimpanzees.

I loved the giraffes. They're like my favorite animal! Oh I also got to witness a lemur pleasure itself orally. That's some flexible spine they got there. Overall it was a good day. The only thing that sucked was the food. I highly recommend grabbing some chow afterwards.

Listening: MGMT, Congratulations

Super awesome, psychedelic, and unconventional.

I'm Good, I'm Gone

"Look, I know you think she was the one, but I don't. Now, I think you're just remembering the good stuff. Next time you look back, I, uh, I really think you should look again." -Rachel Hansen of (500) Days of Summer

Story of my life.



Listening: Crystal Castles, Crystal Castles (II)

Heartbreak Kid

I wish one day someone would sing this to me.
