PWILD

before college started, i had the opportunity to go on this amazing pre-orientation program called PWILD (project wild) with some other pre-freshmen kids. we spent two weeks backpacking in pisgah national forest. we slept in a tarp. we didn't shower the entire time. we ate dried and powdered foods. we wore the same clothes everyday. "the world was our bathroom". people who know me know that this is something i would never in a million years think to do but i'm so glad i did it. made amazing friendships. experienced amazing views. hiked up to the blue ridge parkway. did a cartwheel on the blue ridge parkway. ate lunch on a rock in a waterfall pool. rock climbed. ate lots and lots pb & j and cheese and texas pete guiltlessly. spent 36 hours by myself in the wild. took showers in waterfalls. jambo circles. this list could go on forever.

PASSION PIT

passion pit concert. unc. october 29th 2010.

do you ever feel

do you ever feel like a plastic bag
drifting through the wind
wanting to start again
do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
like a house of cards
one blow from caving in
do you ever feel already buried deep
six feet under scream
but no one seems to hear a thing
firework katy perry

eye candy
made her think, october anniversary, jeffrey campbell, elizabeth and james

new record. aside from the occasional trip to the kitchen to restock on food, i have officially been in bed for a solid 40 plus hours. sleeping, eating and watching the second season of greek.
i have absolutely no motivation to get up and do something with my life. i don't even care that my brain is slowly deteriorating or that my body is turning into pure fat given the current rate of my food intake and sedentariness.
problem.
