Song by the lovely Lana Del Rey. I'm quite obsessed with her music, it truly is brilliant, even though it's not my usual cup of tea. I think it's her borderline masochistic approach to relationships, and the fact that she says she's always singing about "the same damn guy" who she'll always love, no matter what. Something about that commitment reminds me of a previous version of myself. Previous.
Speaking of summer, I'm completely irked by its arrival. Well it isn't fully here yet, so let's just call it "its tentative knocking on the door". Okay, there's nothing tentative about it, but back to the main point, it's irksome. I heartily dislike summer, as you've probably gathered from the previous post. I think I'm possibly the only one amongst my friends who isn't completely psyched about tanning and beaches and all that jazz. I'm already tan and beaches are filthy. And the heat? Ay dios mio, NO. Noooo. *pushes it away* I much prefer biting cold or relentless rain. Rain. *insert sigh of content here*
It rained today, quite a bit. Absolutely beautiful! I drove all the way to uni and sat in my car in the parking lot, waiting for it to be 10 AM, so I can get to class. Then I realised that the weather was too lovely to waste away in classrooms, and decided to go rain-chasing. Rain-chasing? Oh, that's just a term I invented. It drizzled a little bit on my way to uni, so I decided my time would be MUCH better spent, chasing the rain. Yeah, it's not as sophisticated an explanation as you'd like it to be. *giggles to self* I went from area, to area, going on different roads, trying to find where the rain was. Some areas were rewarding, others completely disappointing. But that, paired with music ranging from Nirvana to the likes of Lana, was actually quite entertaining.
I tweeted about my plans for the day earlier, and my friend responded by saying that there was no such thing as "aimless driving about", that sooner or later, you'd always end up in the supermarket. And he was actually correct, my journey did in fact end up at the supermarket to get my ice-cream fix! Sorcery, I know.
Pralines and Cream heaven, not a terrible start to the weekend. Hope you guys have a good one! x
- Lilo.
See, I love summer. It's not the beaches, or the tan. It's the free time. All the time, actually that you never have during the year - you get layed out in a period of 3 months. And complain no longer about time, you do. You simply drift through the hours, minutes, seconds following your whims. That is summer. That is why summer is love.
ReplyDeleteI've had to take classes every summer for the past five years, no free time for me.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound very lovely though, my hate for summer revolves entirely around the weather.
I love lana del rey. She is mesmerizing plus she is the most beautiful women i have ever laid eyes on.
ReplyDeleteI usually have 60 things on my mind all the time so before bedtime i play her songs as a lullaby and it usually puts me to sleep in 30 seconds. *insert sad with a smile here* ;))
Summer is my least fav. season, the heat, the sweat, the thirst, the sun burn, eating ice cream fast before it melts causes brain freeze... etc
isn't she? dude, i have the biggest girl-crush on her, it's not even funny. my friends keep telling me she's "surgically enhanced" so her beauty doesn't count, but if the end result looks like THAT, who fucking cares? >.> I love her album, I can't get enough of it. Or her covers and acoustics, lovelovelove.
DeleteI feel you, wholeheartedly. I'd rather live out the rest of my days in an igloo than suffer through this.. again. *sigh*
