1. SUMMER BREAK IN:

and only six days of actual school left.
two of which are half days.
hellyes

2. i'm really sorry i've ditched this site for the past two weeks, again. i've got a valid reason this time though. for the past week i haven't been able to log in to anything on the internet. absolute murder. the site randomly let me in today so let's hope it keeps doing so.

the week before last really sucked. more drama with Jordan. she ran away from home late at night, so her mom made us come over. long story short, the cops came and told her that if there's ever a problem like this with her again, they aren't leaving her at her house . i guess she didn't really care, because she did the same thing the next day, and her parents actually took her to the hospital to get 'evaluated'. that night, she stayed with us so her mom could get a break. then Jordan got all angry because she thinks her mom is goning to put her in foster care and that was like, the first step. then my idiot mother is like 'she will if you keep acting like this'. i mean, it's true, but she didn't need to say it that bluntly. since then, i haven't heard anything on the home front, but she's definitely turning into someone i don't like. i really wish i could help her, all of her friends do. but she's really starting to run with the wrong people and treating the people who really care about her like sh!t. if she alienates everyone, she's gonna be completely alone, and i just don't want to see that happen.

last week was better. completely long, boring, and pointless, yes, but better. this weekend was really busy. on saturday, it was Aunt Dena's 80th birthday, and sunday it was my cousin Lauren's graduation party. and friday, i've got my friend Shelley's Sweet 16. i guess all this partying has made my mom decide that i have to have a big Sweet 16 for myself this summer, even though i really don't want one. but whatever, since i've never actually had a real party (pathetic, right?), my friend Sam is gonna come over next weekend to help me plan it. and that's pretty much it, so it's not like you missed much.

3. this week in music;

The White Stripes - Blue Orchid

my favorite song of the moment. the perfect vocals, lyrics, instrumentals, and video all rolled into one.
something better than nothing.
something better than nothing, it's giving up.
we all need to do something.
try to keep the truth from showing up.

Nine Inch Nails - Discipline
not as dark or depressing as their other stuff, but it's still heavily addicting and just a great song all around.
i need your discipline.
i need your help.
i need your discipline.
you know once i start i cannot help myself.

Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart

everything Death Cab does is genius. their songs are always freaking phenomenal. this is their newest, and i'm absolutely in love with it.
there are days when outside your window,
i see my reflection as i slowly pass.
and i long for this mirrored perspective,
when we'll be lovers, lovers at last.

The Kooks - Always Where I Need To Be
just a really fun, catchy song that's making me long for summer even more than i already was.
say whatever you want.
oh, I could never judge you.
be whoever comes into your head.
oh, you know I'll take you there.
