Help, please!

I know what you're thinking: Would dolphins enjoy watching a cartoon about other dolphins having a fun time? Would their brains be able to interpret the fairly abstract cartoon image as an representation of their likeness?

Oh, that's not what you were thinking? Maybe it was just me, then. Either way, you have to admit that it's a valid question.

Anyway, I have assigned myself a goal recently. I'm going to try to at least one thing I've never tried every single day, and keep a log of it in this blog. "Something I've never tried" is a phrase I'll be using very loosely - it could be anything from a new type of food, to taking a new road I've never been down, to cliff jumping. Then, whenever I feel like it (which is not gonna be often, let's face it), I'll write about it here. Fun for everyone, right?

So I need the help of anyone who wants to give their input. Please suggest anything, and I mean anything! I'm starting a list but I don't want to think of it all myself, because I'll mostly think of things that I would be doing anyway. :)

Happy Summer Solstice!

Hello to the blogosphere! I haven't been around lately, mostly because a)I haven't felt like it and b)I actually have been pretty damn busy. Now, I know a return to blogging after a multiweek hiatus implies that I have something important, introspective or contemplative to say. However, that's not the case. Instead, I'll ramble on about what I've been up to and what I'm going to be doing this summer because I KNOW YOU CARE.

So far, the only real thing of note I've done this summer is head up to Duluth with Anthony for a couple days. Jumping into lake superior (!) was amazing. It was comparable to submerging myself in ice water, and I thought I was going to DIE. I also had some really, really great sushi, some Pizza Luce (at this point it's like a tradition, I think), and in general just had a great time. Duluth in the spring/early summer is so much better than Duluth in the ass-freezing, nipple-hardening winter.

Upcoming plans include (hopefully) another trip to Duluth, or somewhere comparably cute, beach time, and work, work, work & work. This upcoming Tuesday, the 22nd, is my 21st birthday, and I couldn't be more excited. I believe the plans include the beach, Toy Story 3 and Tum Rup Thai. That sounds like a pretty damn good birthday to me. Then, on Saturday is Twin Cities PRIDE, which is one of my favorite days of the year, followed up by a birthday party for lil' old me. I'm unbelievably excited for the upcoming week; I imagine this is how Lindsay Lohan felt after she tried snorting cocaine off Samantha Ronson's bicep for the first time.

All in all, I'm looking forward to a summer filled with fun, friends, work (ugh), and jamming out to my current jams (which, as far as SUMMA JAMZ go, are Miley Cyrus' Permanent December and Lee Jung Hyun's Suspicious Man.)

Quick Update

I haven't had much time/motivation to update this in a little while.
I've been really good though. I'm learning to be happy with the things I have in life and be excited about what I will have. Life has been pretty damn good to me thus far.

I'm in a good place.

People Pleaser

That describes me in the worst way.
I need to learn that sometimes I'm allowed to put myself first.

I'm in love with this album right now:

"Like ripping off a band-aid"

That's what she compared it to.

All I know is things will never be the same.
This is going to be way more work than it has any business being.
