old polaroids from late second semester. one of those late-night too-long study-breaks that emile and i would take. i'm beginning to miss that a lot. these ones make me feel so dreamy.
albany is so fun, i'm actually not counting down the days until school begins (like last summer). i leave wednesday evening for montreal and then to toronto, my first time in t-dot. should be fun. and many photos will be taken. :)

i just like this...

Let's live suddenly without thinking

under honest trees,
a stream
does.the brain of cleverly-crinkling
-water pursues the angry dream
of the shore. By midnight,
a moon
scratches the skin of the organised hills

an edged nothing begins to prune

let's live like the light that kills
and let's as silence,
because Whirl's after all:
(after me)love,and after you.
I occasionally feel vague how
vague i don't know tenuous Now-
spears and The Then-arrows making do
our mouths something red, something tall

- E.E. Cummings, "Let's Live Suddenly Without Thinking"

things that inspire me:

i want this book. i want art. i want an explanation. i want a career! ah-ha! i want up and out. not so much specifically out of albany, but up and out of the familiar. it's been so long since i've felt like i was pushing my comfort zone. over the past couple of months, i've been trying so hard to feel comfortable merely existing, that i'd kind of let go of my adventurous side, so as to avoid flipping a switch.
i feel strong now. i feel like i can breathe again. my friends are amazing. my starbucks crew is amazing. people must think i'm lame since i speak all the time of my friends at work, but what can i say? they're so fun and a few of them have become such good people on whom i can rely...
i have so many plans for the summer. soon i will post a list, but for now i will fantasize about the trips i've planned

at least two trips to dc:

montreal for the osheaga music festival:

boston with bear:
