soccer practice sucked. it was really hot so no one wanted to run. i did a lot of running, but then i waited until the end of practice to go throw up in the bathroom. i can't run for a straight hour with no water in that heat.. i guess it was smarter to slack off? less puking anyways.

we watched the game that came after our practice then and it doesn't look like we will have any problem with THOSE teams.. hehe. we might have a good record this year. definitely winning. i hope. but i can only stay for four games out of eight.

done with my obsession. more later.

wow. at the soccer game there were people behind us from the other team.. our age, you know? one of them can't read. one of them has less vocabulary than my little brother. the other is intellicent but has absolutely no idea that i completely made fools of them all when they tried to fight with my friend and i. it was hilarious, because he was like WHAT'S WITH YOUR VOICE, YOU'RE SO GAY. and i said "what's your name?" and he's like "joe!" and i said "what's your favorite color?" "..uhhm.. red.." "now what, joe, did you just call me?" "OH YEAH, A FREAK!" "right." my friend's laughing. he's talking to one of the other ones. "you know, his brother has a bigger vocabulary than you." he's like "huh?" "i can't believe you don't even comprehend that." "um.. what's that mean!" i laughed and told my friend that the irony was killing me. the kid asked why we were making up words.

hmm..

i can almost play "night after sidewalk" by kaki king all the way through! i have all the parts, but the transition is hard. it's a really good song.

i just edited. at the bottom. go read it. i would have made a new post, but i like this title. finally, i have a "meghna" title. HA. try your best. except i just changed the horrible blog title that was only there for a day. in your face, childish[ly] nonsensical[ly] unfortunate[ly] desire[able]s. HA. that wasn't me.

&&

we are having soccer practice every day pretty consistently. i love riding my bike. today it was pouring rain all through practice and then it started raining even harder when it was time to ride back.. fun stuff. so i rode no hands with my headphones around my neck and spraying mud everywhere, singing. i got some weird looks.

&&

i just kicked lauren's quizz's [ha] ass.

i can't wait for high school.

i can't wait for soccer games. maybe they'll be less fun because we aren't as good this year.. although, in a lot of ways, we're better. a lot better. i don't know.

i can't wait until i say something you don't all know. comment anyways.

&&

maya, that's not what i was referring to. i wasn't talking about a "secret" or anything like that.

&&

i have a song stuck in my head.

this is the first day of my life
i'm glad i didn't die before i met you
so if you wanna be with me
with these things there's no telling
we just have to wait and see
but i would rather be working for a paycheck
than waiting to win the lottery
besides, maybe this time it's different
i mean i really think you like me

oh, and.. you have no idea. seriously.
"we all know, josh, jeez, we could all tell.."
no, you seriously have absolutely no idea.
except one person. who doesn't seem alive.

it's hard to believe....

high school musical is SO BAD. so bad.

sorry.

okay, really. it's getting old..

casino royale is next.

i'm really confused. i'm really, really confused. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMNNN ITTT. i'm beginning to wonder how many promises i'm going to have to make before.. god..

MAYBE WE'RE GETTING PUNK'D!!

camping was pretty fun. "canoeing" sucked. but then heather and my brother got out and walked and stopped stressing and so my dad and i were fine. we didn't tip at all. the people with us tipped within 5 seconds, and their entire canoe was full of water. they put their canoe 15 feet into the rapids, sideways, and waited for their dad to get in. didn't help that the girl was being a humnifuh.

sitting around the fire with my dad at midnight was the best part.. he was telling me stories about this national geographic guy.. i can't make it sound cool. it was REALLY QUIET. and pitch black except for the embers of our fire. you could clearly see the milky way.. it was really pretty.

&&

see you guys. comment.

good day.

mostly because i figured out why meghna says "a great deal".

hop a hop a hop a hop a

ah, so stephan spent the night and that was cool.

"stop shooting your gun, it is killing me."
"no, see, i was shooting the guys around you so they would go away."
"you just shot me."
"good point."

we rode around ALL DAY TODAY. to the lake, to get slushies, and onion rings, and crap like that.

i finally talked to nina. i hope everything.. yeah.

more later.

&&

it's later

i'm in michigan. yay.


this is by that fountain in ann arbor. it's where my mom's art fair spot is going to be. there are a bunch of fairs.. but she's in the good one.


i cropped amelia out. she was looking away.


whoa! it's.. it's.. i can't believe i just posted a picture of myself on a blog. completely unheard of. oh well.


this makes me happy. putt putt!

no one told me i had a broken link in the last post. meghna, darling? where WERE you on that one?

kidding.

i'm in love, you see.

i have to tell you this before you make assumptions, patrick duggan [jswiss...]. it's meghna rao. heehee.

but only because she showed me the best song ever. it's on my myspace, should you care to look.

today rocked, mkay?

my brother woke me up at 9 and is like NATURE HUNT NATURE HUNT me: huh... him: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

so we drive a few hours into pennsylvania, and it's all these hills and trees and rivers and we jumped out, ate a picnic lunch, and hiked. we found this waterfall, and it was maybe a vertical half mile to the top. it wasn't straight up, though. it was just flowing down through mossy rocks and in this awesome forest. i'm tired because all i did was climb straigh up the thing, on all the rocks, slipping,laughing, ya know. heather and my bro and dad took the paths mostly. i was hanging upside down above the water and i saw this cool little salamander crawling on the rocks i was hanging onto, right next to my left shoe, but i couldn't grab it.

i love mountains.

i read past the boring part in my book, and so now i'm booking [hopahopahopahopa].

i've just had a stunning revelation. i haven't been invited to a single chat.. in.. i honestly don't remember. HA. eat it, world. GRR.

meghna and i are arguing about mental disorders. in a good way. also whether i have any. myth: plausible.

&&

OH YEAH. and that song? the video's on their myspace. watch it. NOW.

he drove them into a great singing force that seemed to go through them like a wind, turning them into something as insubstantial as a thought, or a dream in the head of some sleeping god.

and with that.. i'm out. thankee-sai.

just kidding. you can get a BIB with that on it! AH!

we woke up and went out to eat breakfast. there was this really good omelette that had peppers and mushrooms and brocolli and this sweet orange sauce that went on top of it. it was delicious.

we went home and stayed inside most of the day, just ch'laxing. yes, that's how you spell it. played some video games with my dad, called some people. you know. boring, cool.

austen's coming over. i haven't seen him in forever, as in the end of last summer. we're not planning on sleeping. too many bags of spicy chips, too many two liters, too many video games, not enough barefoot muddy soccer, and maybe sleeping out in the tent. then we could be slightly louder.

i need to go to bed. i keep getting more and more tired. so tired that my eyes start spouting tears because being open doesn't make them happy. i'm in a great mood but my dad says: WHY ARE YOU CRYING and i say: BECAUSE OUR LIVES ARE DOMINATED BY MACHINES AND MONITORS! and he is like: WHAT and i just say: MY EYES HURT!

that was entirely random.

you're only 75% ICPO, don't worry about it.

sarcastic hypocrisy. glorious.

i woke up at noon. i don't know why, because i didn't go to bed very late.. but i woke up then, then my dad and heather left for home depot. i rode my bike to my friend's house and the library and everywhere he usually hangs out but didn't find him. i think he died. or was just gone, that's another possibility.

so i played soccer at the park alone for a while. i had to wait for the girls who were doing running drills. they had to do them in the middle of the soccer field too, so i had nowhere to shoot. the field next door is actually twice the size, and there's not a single person trying to use it! joy of joys!

i helped my dad rip shingles off the roof of the shed thing and put them in the dumpster. heaviness. ow.

the whole time i have been here i have been playing with my brother the entire time we have both been home together. literally. except when he tells me i'm not his brother and to go away or something like that. i took a day off. putting it mildly, i was.. accosted.. for it. my dad's sort of caught in the middle, but that's not my fault.

shh, jenny, if someone wanted to know, they would read it. you don't have to tell anyone.

then i talked to marion [and clementine!] for an hour and a half or so on the phone, which i haven't been able to do for a while. i tried speaking french and they laughed at my american accent. apparently it was adorable. i doubt it. i was made fun of for that, but maybe it was "adorable" too.

that was cynical.

so i had an okay day. my knee feels better, so i will be able to play soccer, unless i get hurt again. speaking of which.. i hit my shin in 4 places today, and i hit one of the places twice. with the same thing. which was a fence. i'm becoming incredibly clumsy. let's just be safe and call it disastrous, shall we?

oh, and you know what's really badass?
kaki king has long nails on both her hands. it makes me happy.

right. comment, mkay?
