Highlight everything and then center it.

I found a book of Audrey Hepburn quotes at the book store. I wanted it.




The weather man was talking about rain. That got me thinking about this one time Camille and I went to the avenue just for fun. It started raining really hard. Like, buckets of water pouring from the sky. We took our shoes off and put them in the car, then we jumped out into the rain. It was really very fun. My cigarette got completely soaked, but I didn't care. We ran through the street jumping in puddles. I kept thinking we should have been tap dancing in unison with Gene Kelly. Alas.
Simple things.

Later that night we went back to my house for drinks.

July.

I came back from my month long vacation to New England the first or second week of July. It was a great trip. So great, in fact, that I have decided to move up to Connecticut with my sister. Yup. I need a new crowed...a new atmosphere, if you will. I love Atlanta as much as the next person, but I have been here for too long.

When I came back from my trip I had about 24 hours to wind down and then I headed on over to East Atlanta for the sickest party. Every time I go to Luke's house it's fun, but this time was especially crazy because Dead Rabbits and The Lonely H both played a great set. Going a month without seeing a Dead Rabbits show was hard, so they really owed it to me to kick ass. The Lonely H is on their 7th tour this summer and those lovely boys from Seattle were kind enough to come party with us on their way up to South Carolina.

So then for the next week I focused on packing and stuff. I love packing. I found so much old stuff that I forgot I had. I found my old journal from when I was little. It was adorable, I wrote about how I want to be a singer, girl scout troop leader, fashion designer, writer, photographer, and about how I can't wait to kiss boys. I was 9 when I had that journal.


Later that week I went to the Drunken Unicorn to see Dead Rabbits and Stone Fox. They both put me at a loss for words. Stone Fox came up from Florida this week to hang out and to celebrate the release of their new album Back on the Wire.


And that was July.
