Seven Eleven

After working feverishly on putting the mt. ash together tonight with a couple friends, we decided to go get slurpee's from the 7-11 in eastgate. While we had been working, we had some great conversation and Lafe said something to the effect that these are the times that we will look back on, because nothing stays the same. I didn't think much of it, but as we drove the familiar route down Rose street, singing at the top of our lungs and pretty much having a wild dance party in the car, I thought to myself, these are good times.

We got to 7-11 and ran inside, but the slurpee machines were closed for the night. Determined to purchase an icy cold, artificially flavored, blended beverage, I persevered and drove on to Isaacs to the Shell station. They had blue and red. Rach and I got half red, half blue in our cups. We later decided that red is the best. Case closed. As we were purchasing the drinks, somehow weddings came up and the lady who was helping us asked if any of us were getting married. We all said no way. Not for a long while. She laughed and said that we were smart.

Driving home in the dark, I kept thinking about how I always focus on the future. I plan it out, and while planning is valuable, I deprive myself of the pleasure of living in the moment. I'm not sure where life will take me, or the people in this world that I love the most. Tonight I was just happy to be one of the girls—not a care in the world.

Here's some songs I've liked lately in no particular order:
Nicole Atkins, 'The Way It Is'
The Little Penguins, 'Say It Once'
Republic Tigers, 'Buildings & Mountains'
Architecture in Helsinki, 'Heart it Races'
Air, 'Mer du Japon' (Teenagers Remix)
French Kicks, 'Abandon'
