L'année
Wow, it's August already? August 3rd, no less. A year flew by so quickly... one more to go! Everything will be alright :)
First day of cross-country, wow... I can't imagine doing this everyday, at 8 a.m. And then afterschool once school starts... but I can't quit. As easy as that is, I can't. It is strangely satisfying and I feel accomplished for spending my mornings running instead of sitting around on a computer and doing nothing... although that is fun too! Aha.
I just finished watching "Heima." It's basically Sigur Rós playing a series of free, unannounced concerts in their home country, Iceland ["Heima" means home in Icelandic]. WOW. It is so amazing and beautiful! I definitely want to visit Iceland someday. It seems isolated a bit, quiet, yet full of life and interesting people... Sigur Rós, their music is just so wonderful and I can't think of another band like them [well, I know there are other ones like Explosions in the Sky and The Candlepark Stars and such, but I'm biased!]. Combined with the film, it's enough to make you cry at parts... and Jónsi is so funny! Especially at the end, it went something like this: "Kjarri [band member]'s grandmother came to our concert and thought it was really loud. Then she heard it was on TV, so she's like, 'Why don't we just watch it on TV?!' And our finale was really intense, with alot of lights and flashes. She thought there was something wrong with the TV and turned it off!" Ahaha...
365 days. Countdown!

How to not eat without your parents noticing
Sid: How do you do it?
Cassie: What?
Sid: Come on, Cass. I mean you never eat anything. Your parents must notice or something. I dunno.
Cassie: I like you, Sid.
Sid: ...Okay.
Cassie: So, I'm going to show you.
[begins cutting up food]
Cassie: You have to do a lot of talking. I'm good at talking. You do that while you're cutting things up, a lot. And then, questions.
[lifts fork to her mouth, stops]
Cassie: Where's your student card?
Sid: Sorry?
Cassie: Your ID.
[resumes cutting up food]
Cassie: Have you got it?
Sid: No. I, uh, lost it somewhere, last week.
Cassie: Change the subject. This is great. I love these sausages. You should try one. Go on.
[puts a sausage on Sid's plate]
Cassie: Delicious.
Sid: Hang on, you didn't...
Cassie: You're not quite sure what I'm on about, but I keep distracting you. So, then, I up the ante.
[picks up Sid's plate of fries]
Cassie: Yum, I love this stuff.
[pushes a few fries onto her plate]
Cassie: Really delicious. You're really sure that I want some more, so I'll keep waving at you, until you stop looking at me.
[raises fork to mouth, stops]
Cassie: Where'd you lose it?
Sid: Sorry?
Cassie: Your ID. I mean, they won't let you use the library, will they?
[checks watch on her ankle]
Cassie: God, I've got to go.
[starts clearing her plate, onto another one]
Cassie: So full. Gotta dash.
[gets up to leave]
Skins, of course. Our dear Cassie... so charming. Of course I would like the dreamy anorexic girl...
All the people on the show are so interesting. It reminds me of Glee or something, but with better characters and more problems... A gay guy [being gay is the least interesting about him!] who wants to be a dancer, a Muslim who doesn't follow his religion devoutly, a really smart clarinet player who has rappers for her family... and more. Maybe that sounds cliché but the show is anything but!
And British accents. Yeeeah.
P.S. Happy summer!
