so exciting! Recently I've been shopping and getting ready for school, you know getting art supplies and general useful things, and there are SO many things you wouldn't remember that you need until you needed them. Like, a stapler?! I need my own stapler?! Who came up with that idea?
Oh today one of my dearest, best, and most favorite friends left for Florence. I know it's
going to be the best years of her life... and she'll have a never ending cycle of Italian boyfriends and wonderful parties but I just can't understand why I can't come!
So me and my other friend made her a going away t-shirt where it's us standing on a globe (in America) and she's on the other side (Italy). And I'm all the way on the left (in Philadelphia! holla!) sort of jumping off into the atmosphere (like a rocket to the moon!). It says on the bottom "We are intrepid. We carry on." Which is from an all-time favorite movie of ours Elizabethtown. Where Kirsten Dunst is this super chatty flight attendant on Orlando Bloom's flight to Kentucky for his dad's funeral, and during the in-flight conversation she figures out his dad is dead (even though he doesn't tell her) and while he's leaving she's giving him all kinds of pesky last minute advice (in a cute way) about the roads in that area and stuff. And then to inspire him to persevere or whatever she says: We are intrepid. We carry on. And it's funny because it's weirdly intimate and she doesn't know him and he's trying to leav
e. But it's also, you know, we will be friends from across the world! (that's us in the picture wearing the shirts! credit: sabeana!)
It's a great movie though, funny, and sad, and there's love in it! It's a Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous anyone?)!
Oh also we bedazzled my big denim jacket. I found it in the crossover (the passageway ba
ckstage between stage left and right) at the little theatre (I did theatre at my high school... what? so did lots of cool and eventually successful people did!) ages ago. It was part of some one's costume 2 shows ago and smelled like Axe and weed but I washed it twelve times and it's been mine ever since! we bedazzled the front and back with clear and pink rhinestones and silver studs and it's ostentatiously sexcellent!
Alright! That's the news from me and mine! See you in college! :{o (that's a mustache face if you've never seen one.)
