i go through phases.

one day i'm feeling classy. the next i want to be a native american.
another day i'm feeling incredibly "hipster". on other days i want to be a hippie.

in my early teen years, "the awkward years" is what i like to call it, i had the worst taste in everything.
my clothes consisted of the ugliest apparel you could purchase from american eagle and old navy.
i loved mainstream music. too much.
i never did my hair. and if i did. it looked awful.
i was horrendously plump.

i like to keep this phase and mere blur in my past.
i was so awkward.

it wasn't until the end of tenth grade that i started morphing from chubby caterpillar to decent looking butterfly. but even then, i was still awkward.
my clothes got better. i thought before i bought.
i figured out how to do my hair.
i started playing lacrosse, so i was becoming less plump.
and i found music that fits me. (i'm a total indie junkie, but i'm down for anything, but country).
and now i feel like i've gotten myself under control.

but now to the actual point. i am currently going through a major 50s/60s/ sort of 70s phase, with a hint of native american. i'm dying to go to thrift stores and search for some cool clothes and nifty trinkets.
i just want to live in the 50s or 60s. the music, the clothes, the style, the boys. it's perfect.
i watched the sandlot and the sandlot 2 the other day. need i say more?

today i...

packed up a lot of stuff to take back home. a lot of stuff.
spent 80+ bucks on food and random things, so my meal plan won't overflow. again.
understood direct objects in french. finally.
left the window in our room open. all day.
came back from class to find that the screen fell off the window.
jumped into a large and uncomfortably pokey bush to retrieve the fallen screen.
successfully got out of the bush. but the bush was in front of a car. and people were making out in that car.
bought a 50 pack of markers.

somewhat successful day?
i think so.
