how summer should be

fires in my backyard with a dozens of my friends. day trips with the family. last minute smoothie runs with a best friend. sitting by the lake with someone special. late nights, late mornings. sun and warm breeze and latenight downpours that just make some things a little more memorable ....

how summer shouldn't be:
notification of my saturn's poor, poor health*. working inconvenient hours that ruin my entire day. waking up early. weeks flying by. not hanging out with enough friends. cold rain and clouds. and, being almost over.

every year after the fourth, summer just seems to slip out of my fingers. i have about a month to do everything i wanted to do this whole summer... and working it all around working close to every day, a week in maine with my family, and other shtuff.


* i brought my baby in for a simply $80 alignments and asked the guy to see why my car as clicking sometimes. he called me back while i was shopping at banana republic and asked "how much do you love this car?" while laughing. i knew it was bad news. he started shooting about 20 things that were wrong with it and he said he didnt' even finish pricing it all before the bill came up to $3,000. he said he was in this to make money but not to rip people off. he said i shouldnt waste my time doing anything with it at all. needless to say i felt really guilty about shopping, and told the guy to reprice it just so i could drive it until the end of summer to work and around the city safely, then i'd take it from there since i'm going tos chool and won't need a car come the fall anyways. so many phonecalls and $three hundred (which is okay compared to $3k) later, my saturn's back in my driveway... still clicking and not perfect, but the alignment is straight and when i drive straight, the steering wheel is straight. poor thing. i'm gonna miss it when it dies on me :o(

p.s. bruno was gross. funny, but gross.
