vacation

I just realized that I'll be on vacation when Panic At The Disco's next album, Pretty. Odd., drops. I was all set to be mad about this too, until I got my priorities straight. On the exact day that the album drops, I will be on the exquisite tropical island of Cozumel, off the coast of Mexico, sunbathing and swimming. With dolphins. The kind of hardcore, trick-performing, nose-kissing, towed-around-by-the-fin-of-a-dolphin swimming that you only ever see on the better class of television travel programs. The next three days will be similarly luxurious, although lacking in large aquatic mammals.

There will be no Panic At The Disco, but somehow I think the dolphins will console me, along with the cushiony white-sand beaches and plentiful PiƱa Coladas, courtesy of Mexico's eighteen-and-up drinking age. I can almost smell the sunscreen, guys; Ryan Ross can wait. This is going to be epic.


P.S. Say hello to my new icon! It says "vacation," "beaches," and possibly "interesting ruins to be explored." We will have to find out!

So I may or may not have mentioned, but I spent last Friday through Monday in Toronto, staying in Red's godfather's tiny downtown apartment with her and some adults. There were fabulous times and gourmet food and the consumption of questionable beverages. More importantly, we didn't fight or argue or get bitchy or depressed or anything other than divinely happy the whole time, which is amazing. What with all the things that have been going on with me lately, it's rather reassuring to know that I can basically live with my best friend for three days straight and be perfectly comfortable and happy- or, indeed, that I am capable of such amiability with any person.


On not unrelated lines, I think I might be better? Romantically, I mean, or at least emotionally. I still don't have a boyfriend, a girlfriend, or any obvious chance of getting either, and I still feel the lack and the loss, but the immediate issues I was dealing with seem to be resolved. There may still be awkwardness and anger and frustration, and I might not shed the lingering effects of hormones for some time, but I honestly do feel better. It's hard to believe, since there were times when I was melodramatically willing to swear that I would feel that way forever, but who knew; forever is, after all, finite.


Yesterday I celebrated my return by going CD shopping and picked up The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me and Like Vines, both albums I've been searching for for some time. However, I'm randomly missing four songs from Deja Entendu, so if anyone could share "Tautou", "Jaws Theme Swimming", "Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis", and/or "Good To Know That If I Need Attention All I Have To Do Is Die", I would be enormously appreciative.


Wish me luck getting My Chem presale tickets tomorrow, but in another random tangent, I am so over myself. Enough about me, I want to hear about you. Please, if you have even the vaguest desire, comment with something that's happened to you recently- good, bad, or simply interesting.

I have to go pack now, and I don't know if I'll get another chance to update before I leave. I'm just leaving for the long-feared annual family vacation, I should get back Wednesday, hopefully without having committed parricide. Have a random picture and a random song!


Ah, this is actually from the flower gardens at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Huge, gorgeous atrium, with this giant mock-Ferris wheel in the middle.

Song: Toasted Skin- The Academy Is..., because it's summery and fun and I like it.


Also, changed my profile because TRUFAX. *grins*

So a scheme has been developed to knit Gabe Saporta some Jayne hats, because he's a crazy psycopath and I want to see him in a dorkass knitted hat before I die.

I was digging through my pictures and found a bunch of photos from back when I went to Chicago, so y'all are getting a mini-picspam of those, because Chicago is a beautiful city. New York is shine and intimidating, and Vegas is sparkle and fun and doing the things you want to do, but Chicago is a place I would really like to live someday. Perhaps I shall.



Okay, now that I've inflicted you all with my madness and mediocre photography skills, I want to know the weirdest thing you ever saw on a vacation. I just got back from Vegas and saw some pretty weird things, and I'm curious if that happens in cities with a lower percentage of Elvis per capita.
