Wind
In my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge...
Well-weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

i bought a new cell phone! it is very small and flashy and fun. im very happy with it, it can take PICTURES! eeehehehe

went swimming a few times yesterday, which was nice. its perfect weather for swimming, and the second time was at night, which i love. dum de dum. i think thats it.

i need to learn stick shift

so the job oportunity at my moms work fell through, because it turns out i cant work that close to her. i kinda wish they had figured that out three weeks ago when the girl told me there was a really good chance id get hired. so now im trying to find a job for less than two months. im going in for some sort of test for a census... i really dont know. :) tomorrow im supposed to look through the classifieds. i also applied to chuck e cheeses, it would be great if i could work with carly, but i doubt theyd take me for such short time. oh well, ill work it out.

saw batman begins. awesome. i loved it. :) i dont really know anythign about batman, but afshan helped me out a bit. it was a good movie, i loved the action, loved the story, loved the cast. go see it if you havent yet.

im getting re-addicted to halo. >_< i guess its a good think i dont own it.

gonna see system of a down! im really really excited! im loving the new cd, and of course my old fav toxicity. :) cant waaait. id like to see fuel sometime. the lead singer just doesnt look like his voice. itd be fun to listen in person.

dogs are so gross sometimes.

all of this registration and placement exams and stuff is making college more and more real. >_< i dont wanna go...

summer makes me lazy as hell. i wake up late, and generally decide that i dont need to do anything but lie around for most of the day. i have a little list of stuff that needs to get done... but none of it reallly needs to get done, yet. siigh. its odd because its kinda nice not doing anything, but at the same time, i dont like feeling this lazy. like i should be doing something but i dont care quite enough to actually do it. bleh. i really really really hope i get that job. it looks good, but if i didnt, its a little late to be looking for a summer job...

lost my phone in the airport. need to get a new one, but mums making me do all the calling and stuff. :-P psh, she seems to think im all grown up or something.

Friction, lines, bumps,
The highway song complete,
the signs are all tuning right,
Do you want me to try,
Directing your night,
Want me to try,
Directing your light.

The purest forms of life,
Our days are never coming back,
The cannons of our time,
Our days are never coming back

-highway song, soad

oof its hot. it is time to begin swimming i think. i need to go to the store, there is hardly anything to eat around here, and i really really want to drop off the film as soon as possible. :) we have 7 rolls, so that should be most fun to look through. our kitties are glad to have us back, they stopped mewing incessantly, and now are just lying all over the newspaper im trying to read... like normal.

im pretty sure im now addicted to breakfast tea, and spoiled. i hardly know how to feed myself anymore, specially with hardly anything in the house for breakfast. but i do have lots of tea, so its not all bad.

need to make appointments today...

yay so im back. i had almost started thinking of texas weather longingly, and of course when you arnt IN it you can remember it as lovely and warm and happy. then i get here and im sitting at my table IN my house and i think im sweating... icky... ireland was AWESOME and super cool. as in cold and rainy, for the first week at least. then it was cold and sunny and windy. :-D but it was lots of fun. i made a list of ireland to summarize the whole trip so i dont have to write alot. :)

LIST OF IRELAND:
-rainy and/or windy
-cold
-very green
-livestock (cows, sheep [who are really shaggy and have horns and are cool but tend to sit in the roads], horses)
-craaaazy roads (im serious, i need to post a picture of one of their 'two-laned' roads), craazier drivers, and damn crazy pedestrians (they start walking across the streets right in front of you and just glare at you.)
-old places (castles, abbeys, churches, cottages, ruins EVERYWHERE)
-dead people (they sure like those graveyards)
-pubs
-GUINNESS
-damn metric system which i dont understand at allll
-tiney weird looking cars
-accents which are hard to understand when they talk really really fast

thats mostly my impression of ireland. ill prolly write more later, but now i got alottt of stuff to get done, or at the very least organized. muuuuuuuah, good to be back home, missed everyone, even those who arnt going to actually read this...

*the following lyrics are from a funny song off this cd my dad bough of some irish singer singing traditional songs or something*

Goodbye to the Port and Brandy,
to the Vodka and the Stag,
to the Schmiddick and the Harpic,
the bottle draught and keg.
As I sat lookin' up at the Guinness ad
I could never figure out
how your man stayed up on the surfboard
after 14 pints of stout.
