actual summer

it's on. not being in school and hanging out with friends every night has never felt better. although the sun isn't particularly trustworthy, my care free, do what i want attitude of summer is fully intact. on monday i got laying in the sun, hiking, swimming, and enjoying beer with friends down all in less than 24 hours. great shows all the time, non-stop hangouts and adventures, aww this really is the life. the only downside is that now that it's finally here and everything is in place i can't help but feel slightly rushed. i am trying to fit a lot of experiences into this summer, and every once and a while start feeling a bit burnt out. i just need to take a deep breath and remember how easy it is to just enjoy everything whole-heartedly without question or concern. its been a wonderful couple of weeks.

first day of summer

dear seattle,

you are so strange and weird. i don't understand why you do the things you do. or why the heavy sounds of rain on my rooftop and all the clouds and gray and dampness would be so ridicously comforting. even on my very first day of no school work. you may have won me over this time, but honestly if i dont get some sunshine and warm weather soon im going to tweak.

love,
maggie

day dreamin'

i have had the strongest urge to spend an entire hot, sunny day laying in a huge field of grass and flowers and just lounge and chat with a good friend. in my pack i've got a good book and for lunch pb and j's and some fruit juice. this big overgrown meadow preferably has a small, cool lake to take a dip in when the sun gets too hot on my back. anyway i figure it looks something like this picture.

saturday night: too much pho, rocking out to shed at the ymca, will smith's "getting jiggy with it", car rides to seattle-redmond-seattle-sammamish-seattle, children's garden of grass spend-the-nights.

sunday: waking up at 12:08 for work at mario's, when i was scheduled for 11:30, hating my existence for the next 5 hours, then some really rad recording sessions with my "family" group from class for our final project which is focusing on the socialization of sex and sexualty i.e. lots of sex noises recorded into some whacky spoken word/jamming plus a really awesome spaghetti dinner.

i want to cuddle. more so than usual lately. bad news.

i hate sundays, but this one was ok.
