"when it comes to you, i am at a constant state of nostalgia."

yesterday, elissa and molly talked to me about being fancy and how we all felt really fancy inside..we just didn't have any opportunities to be fancy. we tried really hard all day to be as fancy as we could..i think we did pretty well. i even felt a little fancier just trying it out. molly said that she thinks we'll all be rich one day - that we'll all be really successful and get to get together when we're older and be fancy then with really long, elegant black dresses and pearl necklaces. we talked about wedding dresses, we talked about falling in love, we talked about decorating our houses. we went into all kinds of fancy stores and we complimented each other all afternoon. we just had fun dreaming with each other.

then, last night i got that summer camp feeling and i tried realllly hard to hold onto that - the feeling that i got last summer when we were prepping for kesher with lanterns and grills and trying to light everything and win competitions for the best supplies. that warm, lingering feeling of being out in the sun on the grass in shorts and sitting in a circle with my friends. i love that place. i love it. there were just so many good things about that place..man, i wish i could have that feeling forever. it only lasted for a second or two but i tried my best to stay in that summer sun frame of mind. it was just so perfect.

my birthday is coming up really soon and i always get nostalgic when this time of year comes around. the winter slump always picks back up right before my birthday. i'm getting a little old..i'm going to be making so bigger decisions in this next years to come than i've made before but i think i'll be able to do it. things lately have been working in my favor and that makes me really happy. a few months ago, i wrote about my perfect brithday weekend. i just can't imagine how well this is working out - i never really imagined it working out this well. i'm extremely excited to see him play again and espesically [that's right - my fingers spelled that out correctly first time. bam!] on my birthday and i guess it just makes sense now about not going over winter break. i'd like to listen to him play every single day but it's just so special when i actually do .. and now, man, my birthday night. perfect, no? i just hope i get to see the studio..that that works out and that i get to capture it all in and hold onto it. and then on sunday, i'll have the party and we'll see what goes down with who there. i'm so thrilled. i love parties, i love gifts. but i really love unwrapping gifts. the anticipation. the wrapping paper. the bows. the three of us were in victoria's secret yesterday - i got a little more over my fear of being in there- and we had a fun time talking about all that girl stuff and i am uncomfortably comfortable with the idea that i am going to become a bow girl in the bedroom. i don't know about that though - i'll have to find a nice boy who could settle down with that.

this year, i don't know what i'll ask for. i love the surprise aspect. i have a list - 600 speed instant polariod film, anyone? get it before it's gone? - but i don't know - i won't ask for the moon at least. i don't think anyone has that nice of a tie to the sky. maybe one year someone will get me a pair of wings and a lasso so we can go get it together. but for now, i could just go for some aviator sunglasses to feel like i'm taking flight.
