today is saturday

so i bought fast times at barrington high today, finally. i agree with everyone who says its more like almost here than santi, but i dont really think you should think of it like that. i really loved santi, but almost here is great too, and now so is ftabh. they're all different and good no matter how you compare them to each other. im just mad at william for having the guy version of my hairstyle. his is shorter and obviously brown but its still unfair.

but the point of this entry is, i am very excited about something. i went to hot topic today [and ended up buying two shirts because they were on sale] to look for an album. this album is called dressed up like dreams, by this kid chad sugg, aka backseat goodbye. i am very very proud of him. =] chad is this amazing musician who has worked his ass off and not been accepted by a lot of kids in the scene [you may have seen him in ap a few months ago if you read it]. he's released six albums and multiple ep's by himself, and just recently has turned it into an enterprise and released a book called monsters under your head and is probably the most amazing person on earth. chad signed a distribution contract not too long ago and now his album is being sold in hot topic stores all over the country. i went there today for the sole purpose of holding his sixth album in my hands for the first time in a retail store. i did, and aah it was so great! =]
also, if this kid was ten years younger, he'd probably be my soulmate lmao. we are so much alike its crazy. =/ apparently he hasn't had a girlfriend in ten thousand years, but i really hope he meets someone nice who doesn't take advantage of his sensitivity.

idk if im glad about band camp being over tbh. it was really hard playing the trumpet for three hours straight every day, but i met the coolest people in the world. my dad's the director [aah] but it was okay because all the senior guys seemed to think i was cool for it and talked to me a lot. we talked about how much we go to the grocery store and what flavors of vitamin water we like and how my dad should shave his mustache and how i dont do anything and how flip flops are the best way to kill flies. nate was on crutches for the fifth time in the past three years, and i asked him to make me a sandwich and he did, but i ended up giving it to mitchell because it had butter on it and i thought it was gross. overall, it was a lot of fun. i also have mixed feelings about band day, the day where a bunch of high school bands play at the college football game because its going to be all day long and none of my good friends are going. so idk, we'll see what happens.

i guess that's it. i am very excited for ashley to come over next week because i haven't seen her face in a while and i would like to.

clothess

so we went shopping in madison today.
im so so happy about everything i got. first i went to h&m and got this kickass purple sweatshirt that just screamed gabe saporta!
i couldn't resist. and i like it a whole lot. i'll prolly wear it every day for the rest of my life.
i also got a green and purple striped long sleeve shirt that is mostly green and a whitish/grey scarf that i absolutely love to death.
again there were some great red skinny jeans that were the right size, and the right color this time, but i didn't get them because idk, i dont think i'd have anything to wear them with. maybe i should get some bright blue or green ones. idk.
then we went to zumiez [probably my new favorite store of all time] and finally bought the fucking shoes. they absolutely made my life. omg. when i asked the girl, they just so happened to have my size, and she pointed out that they just so happened to match what i was wearing perfectly, and a girl had just so happened to buy them right before me and was all, 'omg you have to get them, they are super comfortable and i love them a lot.' so i was like, fuck it, these are mine.
i also got the glamour kills shake shimmy etc shirt and i didn't buy this shirt and an even better scarf, but i wanted them really badly. my mom ran into an old friend of hers and they talked for a super long time while i decided whether or not to get the shoes and talked a lot with the employees. idk what it is, but i usually get really reserved and quiet when employees talk to me, but they were just the coolest people ever. the girl i talked to the most was so adorable. she acted like we were best friends and i just wanted to put her in my pocket and keep her forever. haha i know, thats a dumb metaphor, but its exactly what i wanted to do, and she was so small i probably could've. then there was this other girl who was a total diva, but she was still pretty cool, and this guy who was sweet and funny. aaah they were awesome.
then, idk, we did a lot of other shopping for my mom and stuff, but i was okay because i just bought the shoes ive wanted since forever. they look pretty great, too. =]

so yeah, im pretty excited about life right now. im just deciding what to wear to chi-town tomorrow. i don't want to over do it, haha. me and ashley are going with my church youth group to the shedd aquarium and to the navy pier. its going to be awesome. =]
