If you are smart
You will NOT
Stay up till 11:00 making playlists named "L.O.V.E"
(With songs like Fix You by Coldplay
And The Luckiest by Ben Folds
And Sea of Love by Cat Powers
And Such Great Heights by Iron & Wine
And First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes
And Somewhere Only We Know by Keane)
Then stay up till 12:30 listening to said playlist.
You will not look at adorable pictures like these,
(click on pics for [sort of] credits)
And you will definitely not do this when you are so pathetically NOT in love, its pathetic.
And in NOT doing this
You WILL not
Think about how jealous you are of those who have someone
Someone to talk to
Someone to hold hands with
Someone to comfort you
Someone to make you feel like the world
And someone who feels like the world to you in return.
You will not think of the upcoming summer
And start to sing Summer Lovin from Grease.
You will not long for late nights talks
And you will not hope for early afternoon drives
You will not wish for trips to the snow cone shack
And you will not make up a playful snow cone shack game, wherein you and him choose a different flavor for each other every time.
YOU
Are smart.
So you didnt do this.
And you didnt hope that.
I wish I was more like you.
Now that thats out of the way,
I feel the necessity to tell you that my Four Projects for Four weeks were a disaster.
But they were a nice thought.
And May went by pretty effin quick,
So I guess they would have been redudant anyways.
School is officially over.
Forever.
O wait, thats the Alice Cooper song.
Just kidding.
Schools only out for the next glorious three months.
But still,
It might as well be forever.
I cant wait to get my summer started.
My summer of concerts,
Otterpops,
Rock climbing,
The OC,
And lounging aroung.
I guess I've just been thinking a lot lately about how I want someone to lounge around with.
Hence the slightly-emo/slightly-hopeless beginning.
I'm 17,
I'm allowed to be having these thoughts, right?
Or am I still too young?
When will I be old enough?
Whatever.
My only love this summer will be Jack Johnson.
I just got his new CD...
And am now listening to my entire Jack Johnson library.
He is the wonderful epitome of summer.
Oh look,
He wrote a song for me.
How sweet.
I'm a weird mood.
And I'm tired.
And I have to get up at 5:30 AM tomorrow.
Yes, you read right.
A.
M.
On a saturday.
Lovely.
I feel ADD.
I cant concentrate.
I need an otterpop.

May is either going to happen one of two ways.
It's going to go by in a blink of an eye.Or it's going to go by so painfully slow, I'll want to stick pencils in my ears.
Yeah.
In order to prevent the latter,
I'm commencing a month long project.
Called
Monday to Saturday.
Then on Sunday, I will wrap it all up.
They will be projects that will hopefully make the month more entertaining, and hopefully make it go by faster.
And, as you might have guessed, they're all creative/artsy type of projects.
Would you like to hear about them?
Good.
WEEK ONE: PHOTOGRAPHY
I will take pictures of six days of my life.
I will try to take as many pictures,
Document as many memories,
Capture as many moments,
As I can.
Then, on Sunday, I will put them all in a collage.
And hopefully it'll go onto my wall.
WEEK TWO: VIDEO
I will film all week.
This one will perhaps be a little more artsy.
Close ups,
Out of focus shots,
Saturated colors,
Things of the like.
Then, on Sunday, I will edit it all together.
Hopefully to Team by Bon Iver, if I get appropriate shots for the music.
If not, the song will be chosen accordingly.
Then I'll post it to YouTube.
WEEK THREE: MUSIC
I will choose the three songs that I like the most that day.
(Except for on Friday and Saturday, when I'll choose four songs to make it an even twenty.)
And I'll write about why I chose those three/four songs.
Also, I'll make bad a-- CD covers.
Collage, drawn, printed out, what have ye.
On Sunday I'll put all of the songs on a CD, type up the reasons for choosing that song, and put it all together in the CD covers.
Then I'll distribute them to whoever requests a copy.
And anyone can request a copy!
I'll mail them if I have to.
WEEK FOUR: ??
I havent quite decided what I want to do on the fourth week.
I have a few ideas, but nothing I'm super excited about.
So,
I'm leaving it up to suggestions.
This will be the last week of May.
The 24th-30th.
School will almost be out,
The weather will hopefully be warm,
And I will be itching for something to do.
So leave a comment,
Or send me an email at ericka.adriana@gmail.com
And give me an idea!
If I come up with an idea, I'll let you guys know.
But I'd really like your guy's opinions!
By the end of these four weeks
It will be the last day of May
And the first day of the last week of school.
And also Memorial Day, I believe, so I wont have school that day.
So thats nice.
I'll let you guys know how the projects go, and I'll keep you guys updated.
I encourage you guys to tackle week long projects too!
They make time go oh-so fast.
If you do, let me know!
And if you want a CD from week three, let me know that as well.
And if you have ideas for week four, I'd also like to hear that.
Or if you dont want to speak of either of those things,
Just drop in to say hello and tell me how your day was.
I apologize in advance for the upcoming blog absence.
This friday is my AP US History test,
So I will be preparing for that all week.
But after Friday,
I'm home free!!
It will be positively glorious, I'm sure of it.
So I wont be able to blog this week.
I'm hoping that after the test, I'll have more time to update more regularly.
If i dont, though, only four more weeks till I will have time.
Because SCHOOLS ALMOST OUT.
*sigh*
I cant wait.
In other news, I have a crush on Peter Pan.
Yeah, I said it.
You do too, now, dont you?
I knew it.
