*sigh*

back in Fresno now. My trip back was rushed and unceremonial, and I didn't even cry to be leaving Santa Cruz (at least not once I actually did). I'm glad SUPERMAN and my other friends made it out to the Red Room to wish me off, that was fun, and you're right, I'll be back in Santa Cruz before I know it. I don't...

Awesome! Have a grea time on your trip. My advice - it's tempting to try and see all of Europe in a few weeks. But it's not worth it. Pick a few spots and really try to get to know them - there's so many interesting things to see besides the major tourist destinations. Europe will still be there, you can always go back. smile

current music: Billy Bragg and Wilco - California Stars
current mood: wistful frown

People and things I'll miss about Santa Cruz:

- Living in a small town that still has a cosmopolitan flair to it, with just about every scene you could think of, and being able to jump between them too.
- A vibrant, diverse music scene, especially for a city of our size

This will be my last weekend in Santa Cruz frown

After next Friday, I'm leaving for Europe, then coming back to the States to start living my life and making a career, but I can't afford to do that here in SC.

So I'm gonna make these three days count. That means lots of beach time, some long walks in the redwoods, and enjoying the company...

I friended you since I saw your comment in the anarchist group about Zerzan. HI!
pygmy:
Yeah.. I don't totally agree with Zerzan, either, by any means.. Actually I think he's kind of a hack... Albeit a hack with a few good ideas.
A few journal entries back in my profile I explain my plans for the coming years.. Might be of interest.
Friends are good! smile

ouch. I had to do a bunch of work today out in the sun, and I didn't put on any sunscreen or anything, so now I have a bright, painful, redneck. The worst part is, being a redneck is starting to warp my brain! must....fight....change..... NO! Bush is great! FOUR MORE YEARS! Stockula is a genius, and not racist or a troll at all! I...

saw Garden State today, loved it. It was funny and moving at once.

Still bored, but the good news is that my computer, which mysteriously stopped working, has now mysteriously started working again. So I'm assuaging my boredom by downloading lots of music from BitTorrent.

Being up on campus in the summer sucks ass, especially without a car. I loved being up here during the...

back from a family weekend over the hill. My sister was thrilled to be moving into her new dorm at Cal, and starting her college career. I tried to contain my jealousy at her getting to go to Berkeley, but then I shouldn't worry about it - Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz are apples and oranges. mmmm, oranges.

um, where was I? Oh yeah, this...

Not much going on out here. Summer slumps.

And Berkeley was fun, but I'm sure Santa Cruz was good too. The people I met who went there were generally a lot cooler and more chill than the folks I knew at Cal. Apples and Oranges, like you said.

I'm writing from my new shoebox apartment in the lovely Kresge (UCSC) dorms, my humble abode from now until September 10th, when I will be leaving Santa Cruz frown

the move went well enough, though it was incredibly hectic and tiring. I packed my dad's van so full of unneeded stuff that he couldn't take my cousin, who's visiting from England, back with him. So he...

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun,
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Look out the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
Take what you have gathered...

the taxman's taken all my dough
and left me in my stately home
lazin' on this sunny afternoon
and I can't sail my yacht
He's taken everything I've got
All I've got's this sunny afternoon
