crimson and clover.

there is this one jimmy eat world song that i always forget about but then they'll play it randomly on the radio while i'm driving places and i'll remember again and turn it all the way up. as i get older, it means more and more to me. the downside to it is that it makes me think about someone i'm not friends with anymore and it adds this weird, semi-nostalgic edge to it. but anyway. i still remember when i first bought this album at zia records. it was when i was first getting into "cool" music and i would practice drawing the faces of the band members in my sketch book. later i would learn the middle in my guitar class. this was before the song was popular, my pretentiousness wants me to point out. the album was called "bleed american" but then september eleventh happened and they changed it. i lent the cd to my cousin heather and then she crashed her car and i never got it back. it's what happens.

we had a really awesome storm tonight. after i got out of class i was going to go to trader joe's but it looked a little stormy and i was sad i was without my trusty umbrella. i hit la cholla and the rain started. and the lightning. and the wind. it felt like a hurricane! i've never really been in a hurricane. but the point is. it was raining so much that it took me twice as long to get to the oracle-ish area and i decided to just go to the kohl's parking lot and wait it out because i had work soon anyway. i parked my car and watched the storm all around me. the lights went out in the parking lot but they were playing an old deftones song i hadn't heard in a while so somehow it was okay. the whole time i was thinking about this one story stephanie told me a long time ago about how when she was little her mom would always make her sit in the car during thunderstorms. it was pretty fun but then i got my shoes all wet when i ran inside and i had to put up ads with soaking wet shoes that have holes in them! that is not professional, robyn. they said that it rained a lot by the u of a. i hope my house is okay. i still need to move down there. soon!

i keep on having all this self-doubt about my abilities as an academic but that is probably a topic better saved for another day! too much wah-wah makes for a bad entry dontchaknow.
