Beginning of summer

this summer i want:

sleeping in late
staying up until sunrise
exploring places I've missed here
gallons of lemonade & a mountain of home fries
watermelon agua frescas & cherry pie
dance parties & house hang outs
laying in my backyard with my boombox
a kiddie pool in the back
small shows in the backyard
starting a band with christine and whoever else
continuing/finishing me & sonrisa's zine
making non stop summer fun mix tapes
listening to "this must be the place" on repeat
going on a ridiculous number of beach trips
laying in the park
summer love
re-reading all the books i love & finding new books to love
making 22 the best summer I've had since I was 18
tons of friends visiting!
a hammock in the backyard-somehow and backyard naps


the past two weeks is what I want all summer, even if some of it was specifically suited to the past two weeks:
like the rosie's starting off my first/last(?) san francisco summer
or me and jennifer's underwater themed birthday party
but some of it wasn't like

geary bar and the amazing bartender that calls me babygirl
playing $3 worth of erotic photo hunt (babes & hunks-your two choices)
photo booth pictures
old cab drivers that tell raunchy jokes while your friend sings to his girlfriend in the back
trips to santa cruz
summer crushes on the boardwalk
watching the sunset at aquatic park
huge 11 person breakfasts
taking pictures of everything
east bay hang outs
sweaty punk shows
house parties
mix tape trades
lemonade and cake and my boombox in the park
drinking wine coolers & watching stardust while nick and rich exchange emoticons
hot crusties on the cave train


I've been sick since my birthday, today i just tried to breathe through the summer heat and my fever while eating soup in the backyard. alternately crawling through erika's window into her unbelievably cool room to hang out with everyone and taking naps on the ottoman beneath the backyard stairs.it was fun hanging out with Sylvia, Rich, Jennifer, Alex and Christine once she got home-it felt like all day summer fun, hosing things down in the heat and blasting my boombox. then going to get indian pizza.
i got kinda bummed-thinking of all kinds of mistakes I've been making lately, but summer wouldn't be summer without making mistakes caused by heat, delirium & boredom.

more pictures later, and maybe a mixtape post.
