the administrator ought to know that i tried voting in his cute little poll for best oln staff member, and it told me that i had already voted, although i have no recollection of doing so. i tried voting for kirsten gum, cause i hear she is a babe, and she must be a lot better looking than al troutwhatever. so let's see...my mom, my step-dad, my grandmother, my aunt, and my uncle are all in the tropics right now. how exciting for them! judging by the enormous insects i often encounter on my bedroom walls, i would've sworn that i too was in the tropics. so far, summer vacation is really lame. i find that i have way too much time on my hands. i just want school to begin again, so that i have a reason to get out of bed before noon. it finally feels like i'm getting things done on my own terms, because I want to, and that is a nice feeling. i feel momentum. but not at the moment, since it's summer vacation. i can't believe that i even went to summer school already, that seems like a long time ago. last night i watched a movie called "napoleon dynamite." it was super funny, and a really clean movie. (ie: no swearing, adult humor or violence.) i'd heard of the movie a while back, and later read that it was made by some graduates of brigham young university. that had put me off initially, because i've been conditioned to think anything mormon is either really weird, or really wrong. i'm proud of myself for overcoming my own prejudices, and allowing myself to enjoy something that could be enjoyable to any subculture. just for clarity's sake, there was no mention of religion in the actual film other than a mexican character who had a lot of traditional catholic symbols in his house. i'm starting to realize that i'm not taking advantage of my surroundings enough this summer. it's almost august, and i haven't been to one dodger game or visited the beach this summer! something must be done about these things. not at the moment however, since it's probably really cold at the beach at 12:13 am. songs of the moment on my very own ipod: "ocean breathes salty" by modest mouse, "over it" by onelinedrawing, and "goodmorning aztlan" by los lobos. download away...
