i remember watching this video when i was in...oh, about,...sixth grade? loved the song, still do. =] great times.

Passenger Seat, Death Cab For Cutie

I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in
The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

"do they collide?"
I ask and you smile.
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter.

When you feel embarrassed
then i'll be your pride
When you need directions
then i'll be the guide

For all time.
For all time.

june update

i haven't been keeping up on my blog lately....probably because i don't have much to say. the concert brandon and i went to on the thirteenth was absolutely amazing. ben gibbard was great, but he definetly didn't make the whole show. the entire band is wonderful. if ever you get the chance to go see a show at the plain dealer pavillion in cleveland, do it. it's big, pretty, and the view behind the band is awesome. in a decently safe part of the city too, except when you get...lost...heh. i'm glad we didn't get mugged. lol. been working a lot, which is good, as i need a car...hopefully will have wheels soon. that's about all the update i can think to give. (oh yeah, the bachelorette is a terrible, terrible show. i feel SO bad for these poor men. they're head over heels for this beautiful girl. they get to go on a romantic date in the bahamas, and then spend the night in a fantasy suite together. each one does, one right after the other. and they all tell her that they're in love with her for the first time. they all think they're in. ha, right.) OH yeah! I get to go to the zoo tomorrow with my family! :)

*grinning like an idiot*

yea, so this weekend was cool. penelope got taken, that sucked terribly, but...that's the only downside i can think of. saturday was amazing. the best day i've had for a long time. that's all i can think to say, really. =]

i feel like a million freaking bucks. it's a beautiful night, cool and balmy, the stars are out. i can't wait to lay under the stars sometime this summer, i love the night sky. school is over for now, i finished those ridiculous tests. my family is chill, i'm looking forward to a good weekend. i have watermelon. really, what other melon beats watermelon? i mean, any kind of melon is amazing, but watermelon? pfft, it tops all. my music is playing, definetly feeling it. i'm relaxed and sleepy. the drink i had a little while ago probably didn't hurt either...just one, mind you, but i have a low alcohol tolerance. just enough to mellow me out completely. oh yea, i'm also in love with a small dog named penelope. i named her, she's mine. she loves me back. (see amorously cute picture below). i want to go sleep under the stars now. i love beautiful feelings like this.

--Penelope. <3

end of may report

so this past weekend went really well. left me dead tired, but still went really well. i finally got to do something other than sit at home on saturday! brandon graduated, and i attended his commencement, which i thought went well. wasn't nearly as grueling as any other graduation ceremony i've ever been to. even ben's valedictorian speech was nice. so yeah, commencement was cool...and of course, the party was even better. :) got to hang out with friends i haven't seen for months, got to meet some of brandon's family, and overall, got to just relax and have fun. then on sunday and monday i started my new job...prehistoric forest. lol. it's...interesting, to say the least. i'm really happy im finally working, especially at a place that's so tolerable. it'll keep me busy and not-broke (for once) during the summer. AND! school's almost over! atleast for this year...i really, really, really wish i could be done now. it feels like i'm a senior because of the classes i have and kids i hang around with. my name has actually gotten the prefix "except for". example: a teacher says "everyone will be taking the exam this thursday, as it is the senior's last day, except for liz." or, "everyone's last day will be thursday, except for liz." i guess it could go the other way too...like, "everyone is going to fail this test, except for liz." (i've never heard that one yet, though). perhaps it's rather endearing to them, as i've become a bit of a pet to the senior class, but it's still awfully depressing for me. anyway...summer break is almost here, and i'm pretty sure it's gonna be awesome.
