9 Crimes

Leave me out with the waste, this is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place to be thinking of you.

It's true! Music really does effect your mood, as do other things.
Summer, the sun, sunshine, road trips with my favourite people, driving/walking around in the city's nightlife, independence, grass (especially the grass outside the State Library!), picnics, indie music, shopping for secondhand books and vintage clothing, animals!, dinner with my family, being with my favourite people, and I love love love mixtapes!...
I'd almost forgot the things that make me happy.

Jess made me a mixtape for my birthday. I love it! Included are all the songs that remind her of me, awwwwwww. We listened to it in lunchtime on that same day and we moved all the tables to the corners of the room and the girls and I had a picnic and a chill out sesh.

Today was the swimming carnival, and it was pretty dull at first until they whipped out the music ;) People thought the music choice was ridiculous but I loved it! Every song except 99 Red Balloons and Love Story. Mat Turk had Love Story stuck in my head the whole day (literally), it's not my fault you like it! For a pretty buff athlete, you have strange taste!
The girls and I danced to Grease Lightning and all these other old school songs... AND WHEN THE KILLERS AND EMPIRE OF THE SUN CAME ON! We just went wild!

We picnic'd out at the tents with barbecue flavoured chips while we played Thirteen and Snap. Pretty fun day! And I got second place in the relay. Woo!
Then the guys, Ana and I went to Maccas after school.

And I can't believe 90% of the people I know hate the song Electric Feel by MGMT. It's one of my favourite songs of all time!

And for these past three days, I could not have felt more teenager as I paced around the school, hoping to find you. If you asked me four weeks ago, I knew nothing but your name. For four years, I've known nothing of you but your name. All until you stole my pencilcase, and everything changed.
