thanks, a. coops

that unusual feeling of your chest cavity giving your heart a bearhug and how it's always a tighter embrace the closer it gets to sunrise.

harry potter - tell about a scar on your body

when i was younger. 8, i think. third grade. me, alex, danny, sam, brendan all at alex's place in his little room in his garage where we spent the best time of our lives playing gamecube. we decided to wrestle in the room with all the lights turned off (great ideas). forehead, meet cast iron table frame. i felt fine, until i felt something trickling down my face and i went into the bathroom and looked at something out of a horror movie. sam calming me down and then e.r. and they glued it together instead of stitches and i have a one and a half inch vertical scar in between my eyebrows, a little closer towards my left one and lighter than the rest of my skin. it's been fading way. not quite harry's lightning bolt, though.

ron weasley - something you're afraid of

bugs. bugs and poverty.

hermoine granger - a subject you know a lot about

i don't really know how to answer this one. i'm a student and i always want to be one.

draco malfoy - closest green item to you

adla championships medal. one of the greatest experiences of my life. reminds me everyday of not only music but how music is so much bigger than itself.

severus snape - your favorite alcoholic beverage

i haven't tried it, but it's probably going to be something involving either coconut or strawberries.

rubeus hagrid - your favorite animal

red pandas. too much cute. too much.

luna lovegood - something about you other people find weird

how little i trust myself on knowing what homework is due tomorrow.

neville longbottom - your favorite flower

jasmine. for its purity in looks and its killer tea.

nymphodorah tonks - something you would change about your appearance

my hair style. i don't know how i'd change it but i'm bored and i want something..modern. being ripped wouldn't be bad, either.

fred and george weasley - the last prank you pulled on someone, or someone pulled on you

seattle trip + various alex dale items + lots of post-its..

voldemort - if you were to make a horcrux, it would be...

my backpack, no doubt.

moaning myrtle - the last thing to make you cry

guilt.

that look.

"there's the things that you want to say, the things you will say, and the things you can say. it's not being who you aren't, it's being smart"

and i'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat

alcatraz island

inspired by b.f. today to hunker down into summer work tomorrow. got my little binge of team fortress ii tonight and tomorrow i'm off.

damn, i love this song. and a flowchart makes me love it even more.

back around this time of the year, when i was younger (a lot younger. seven or eight), i remember my mom used to pack me just a whole ripe tomato as a snack when i went to day camp at ucla. i'd eat it like how i'd eat a whole apple and i loved it, the sweetness of the juices as they exploded as i bit into each little cell of the fruit. i remember how the other kids always made fun of me for eating a tomato so unusually, escalating once to a kid taking the whole tomato out of my lunch and throwing it into the bushes while i was distracted with other campers and our cocaine-laced gameboys. i don't know why it suddenly reminded me of those times but i can't imagine that was a decade ago. i can't even grasp that i've been alive for more than a decade.

d'aw.

like father like son..

at least i fell asleep before 5am. but it's not like that green led 4 was too pretty either. this is going to be gnawing away at me for so long.

first..
