You know those Eggo commercials where people talk about their personal Eggo concoctions? Well I want to be in one and feature my whole wheat Eggo with natural peanut butter, honey, and bananas combination. The world needs to know.
Beside the fact that I LOATHE incredibly hot and humid weather three things I actually enjoy about the summer are:
1) Not caring about your hair. The beach bum look is totally acceptable.
2) Earthy, hippie jewelry. Which technically you can wear all year.
3) Wearing bikini tops instead of bras. I don't know if other people do this but I abuse this privilege during the summer days.
This might be completely creepy but does anyone ever walk past a certain scene/location like a dark alley or a heavily wooded area and think "that looks like a place someone would hide a body."? (For the record I am NOT a murdering psycho I just watch a lot of Criminal Minds and Bones). Every time I go running around my neighborhood I pass this really eerie section of woods with a big cement pipe running through it and a dirty shallow creek and I am always afraid I will be one of those people who was just out for a jog and found a dead body. Sorry I'm weird.
Yesterday was bit eventful. I went out to eat with my sister and her girlfriend (Mexican, fish tacos-so good) and right as I was going to pay it hit me. I left my card in the ATM. Of course. Because I'm THAT girl. The one has a "seriously?!!" moment every nanosecond. Luckily a kind fellow bank member turned it in to the bank tellers but since it's in my dad's name they wouldn't let me get it and they said he had to get it by 5:30pm or they have to SHRED the card and reissue a new one. Of course my dad was at work but these psychotic bank tellers can't keep a debit card in a drawer overnight so he had to get off work early and come get it. I felt awful because I was so careless and I inconvenienced my dad and I was sitting on a red, uncomfortable chair waiting for him to get there and when he did he just laughed. I think my dad is immune to the millions of mistakes I am always making. I'm glad he loves me despite my incompetence.
I also went to my psychiatrist yesterday to talk about anxiety medication. I don't even take Advil for a headaches or Midol for cramps so I was extremely wary about getting on medication but I have been ridden with panic attacks and anxiety for three years now and I am at my wits end. My therapist says it doesn't mean I have to be on medication forever but I need to calm down and be able to process my stress and emotions productively. So I am on mild depression and general anxiety medications. It could take up to a month to feel the effects so we will see if it actually works. Part of me feels like a failure for turning to medication but I have fought so hard to live with this and I can't do it anymore. I don't want to have a constant weight on my chest and a cloud overhead. I want some relief.
Thank your for the warm welcome back : ) It made me feel quite sunny to know I wasn't forgotten.
I have an idea for an exchange (these are just the rage lately aren't they?) It's called The Teacup Tag. A common theme within this community is our love for tea and coffee. I am proposing we create a unique teacup or coffee mug for a fellow blogger. Just purchase a plain teacup or coffee mug and make it something entirely special. If you are interested in taking part state so in a comment and leave your e-mail!
Also, I want to thank my dad for making my week by finding this:
Yes that's right Caribou Coffee beans! If you don't know I am obsessed with the Caribou Coffee chain which is superior to Starbucks by far. I don't live near one and only get a chance to have it when I visit Minnesota so to have some to fresh brew in my house is entirely lovely. I had a cup this morning with soymilk and raw sugar and it was so smooth and perfect. I think I know I am a coffee addict when this following description gives me chills: "Caribou Blend begins with a satisfying heaviness on your palate. Expect a big-bodied, syrupy taste with a clean, snappy finish of savory bittersweet chocolate. Caribou Blend is an inspired merging of sweet, spicy and berry notes for a smooth, relaxing, down-to-earth cup." And I die.
I finished reading It's Kind of a Funny Story and I want you to go read it right now. One of the best books I've read. Ever. I loved it. Currently I am reading On the Road by Jack Kerouac and I just want to write his words all over my walls they are so good. I'm also reading The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath and I think I will have to extend my check out date because it is HUGE.
For now I am going to go bake a cake with a friend. I want to end this post with birthday wishes for my sister. She is my rock.
Oh and I also bought Wet N' Wild nail polish today. I almost refused to purchase it because of the company name (I mean seriously?) but Revlon was about $5 dollars a bottle and skanky Wet N' Wild was 99 cents and you got the second bottle half off so my inner frugalista made me do it. Surprisingly it is good nail polish. I got the colors Undercover and Blazed. Which combines sounds like a movie about a stoner spy. Anyways this entire post I have subjected you to my ramblings so I will end here.
Be well. Be golden.
WAIT! Go listen to Kate Nash's "Mansion" I want to stand in the middle of my city and recite it.
Now I'm done.

i missed your blogs! glad to see you're doing well, enjoying life, drinking coffee and reading.
I finished looking for alaska I really loved it.
Have you read it?
those waffles look yummy, and i'm not a peanut butter fan! must try them!
i wish my hair was capable of the beach bum look. if i don't watch it carefully it frizzes out. for no reason if only to thoroughly annoy me.
Hippie jewelry=love!
ah. while i always tend to be anti-medication. i am always taking something for my physical pain. tylenol is my crutch. i have a lot of strange aches and pains that normally don't accompany an eighteen year-old but rather someone in their late seventies... haha. i didn't want to take anything for it at all. it seemed like a sign of weakness, but then i realized that my pain was interfering with life and happiness.
sometimes you just need something to help you along the way. to get you to a functioning point. asking for help (in this case from your meds) is not failure. it's just a temporary help, like training wheels until you can handle it on your own :)
so glad to have you back!!!! :D
It's wonderful to have you back, you were missed :)
Don't worry, I'm that boy who forgets his card at the ATM too :P and I live for Bones & Criminal Minds! We need to discuss the newest episode of Bones! Also, you should watch Grey's Anatomy, their soundtrack is known for being amazing.
leave me your email :)
Mmmmm. That looks extremely delicious :D
My hair does not enjoy cooperating with the beach bum kind of look. Instead it just looks like a giant tangled rats nest of frizzy grossness :P
There's this tunnel thing that I run through on the way to the park and I tend to get paranoid that I'll suddenly stumble upon the body of some homeless guy...
I don't think there's any shame in taking medication! As long as you're not completely dependent on it to survive, there's absolutely no problem in getting a little help from it.
I'd totally do the Teacup Tag exchange, except I don't really like tea or coffee very much :/ Does hot chocolate count, haha?
I loved It's Kind of a Funny Story. Apparently they're making a movie out of it!
Have fun baking the cake and happy birthday to your sister :D
awwe you dad sounds so cool! Cool Dad Alert.
My dad is a little less lenient with my mistakes. I tend to forget things too, and yes, I'm That Girl as well ): My parents lecture me every time I lose something, because they believe that everything costs money and that the money comes out of their pockets, when IN FACT I have my own job and pay for my own things. Mehh, Asian parents.
Happy Birthday to ya sister!
Would you like to exchange links? (:
yay for hippy hair!! i love not having to worry about my hair in the summer. i am not that keen on summer either. :)
hope you are feeling ok. :)
i love the sound of the teacup tag...i really want to do some sort of exchange at the moment. let me know more details.
be well my friend.
:D
waffles. i've been craving waffles.
i might pick up your #3. more convenient when you want to swim on the fly (which is what i always want to do... but find myself at a loss when i do not have my swim... gear)
interesting observation about the dead body. when i read the first line, i was expecting some stalkerish story on your part, but that was a turn. i don't think we have many dark alleys over here, so the idea has never occurred to me.
also, you are quite the trooper for never taking medication. i take[enter brand name here] pm pills just to fall asleep when my sleeping schedule is messed up. i really hope your anxiety meds work! i've never known someone to literally suffer from stress.
finally, your picture is gorgeous. as are the flowers on the side. i've been obsessed with flowers (especially lilies) lately.
I want those waffles... in my tummy... nao.
YOU AND I ARE FRIENDS AND I LOVE MANSION, TOO.
ahahah Wet N Wild is a water park here in Queensland
Alright, this is going to sound Kait-ish, but you are golden!
Oh! And count me in on the Tea Cup Tag. I think you already have my email, but it's the.antarctica@gmail.com, if you don't. :P
