My Dad.

In my not so fun years of being me, (freshman and beginning of sophomore year) I was not super nice to my dad. I was a little beyotch, let me tell you. We fought a lot, and it was all my fault 99.9 % of the time. We didn't really see eye to eye on things. Now that I am older, wiser, smarter, and more awesomer, I have come to realize my dad and I are not that different, and he is a complete inspiration to me. My dad is the goofiest, most awkward, kind hearted man I have ever met in my life. While in college, he would send me picture messages throughout the day, every day, of funny stuff he would come across. He would call me just when he knew a song I liked was on the radio. He told me stories about my beloved dog. My dad goes above and beyond to make sure I am happy, and for that I am so lucky. He gave me the opportunity to move to a different state to go to school, just so I can be the person I want to be and so I can explore my interests. He supported me when I was apprehensive, and gave me strength when I felt alone in college. Without my dad, I would probably be a boring, sad, prostitute. And that is the truth.

What I've Been Doing

Well, a whole lot of nothing, that is what. Don't get me started on the job search :/ It is a challenge, though I do have two interviews this week. I am trying really hard, but at the same time, I am extremely nervous. I have a lot of fun things planned for the summer. A friend from Chicago is coming to visit, I am going camping or to Nashville ( these trips are on the same days and I can't decide) and I am also going on a family vacation to Whistler. I convinced my family to go there so I can get tipsy with my parents. Not kidding. I am conflicted with the fact that if I get a job, I probably won't be able to do all these fun things, and if I don't have a job, I won't have as much fun because I will be broke as hell and depressed. WHAT IS MY LIFE.

so bad at mirror pictures. I hate mirrors.

So, what have I been up to other than sulking at watching too much Grey's Anatomy? Well, I went to Pike's Place Market the other day with an old friend, and we saw the lovely Seattle band Hey Marseilles play a free show. If you have not heard of them, check them out. These boys are all so talented and play wonderful music. Not to mention they are extremely attractive :) Me and my friend were debating over which one we would want to marry. Its tough.

Sorry Guys!

So, I am home. Back in Woodinville for the summer. And, to be honest, I couldn't be more unhappy. Being jobless, living in the guest bedroom with no privacy, and with my parents makes me want to kill myself. I'VE ONLY BEEN BACK FOR FOUR DAYS. Lord help me. Anyways, I have not been up to too much, just job hunting, and organizing my bedroom. I tried to take my room and make it as "me" as possible, and I feel like I did a pretty good job.

I do love my little window seat reading center. Probably will be utilizing it a lot in the upcoming months. Suggest books for me to read please!

Yes, that is a unicorn pinata. I was asked to prom with it over a year ago, and I can't seem to get rid of the guy. Future hoarder right here y'all!

I also dyed my hair back to crazy red. It will be this way for a long time. I have put my hair through so much trouble and damage, a little TLC will do it some good. Plus I feel really sassy with this color, I love it.

I plan on beginning to update my blog more, and making it more interesting this summer, so bear with me :)

Annaz are Awesome

I am sitting here, in my dorm room that is torn to pieces, just waiting to be packed up, and I am supposed to be studying. As fun as it is to read my general business book in hopes to ace my test tomorrow, I can't help but make summer road trip playlists and dream about my future. What else is new? I have a job interview for an easy summer job as a doggie walker and play person at a fancy schmancy dog boarding facility right near my house. Pretty sure I will get that job, thank the good lord.

In other news, I went to see this awesome singer named Anna Calvi in concert last Friday. There was barely anyone at the venue, and I was seriously blown away by how amazing she was. She was so soft spoken, but really turned it on when she was performing. Pretty much solidifies the fact that every Anna of the world is badass.

Oopsies!

Sorry I have not posted in a while! I've been so busy. My dad and my friend Runyon came to visit me this weekend, so I spent time with them. My dad came down to bring my car, so I can pack up all my stuff and drive back by myself. It will be interesting. Four more days until back home. :(

In better news, I had an AWESOME day yesterday. With my car, comes time to go to cool places. Me and some ballers went to Cannon Beach, one of my favorite places in the world. It was a fun little road trip, and a freaking gorgeous day.

These photos were taken on an Iphone! Can you believe it?! That app is magic.

Such a fun day! At a random Dairy Queen in the middle of nowhere, a biker gang rolled in while we were there! My brave friend Isabelle asked them if we could take pictures on their bikes, and they were so nice and excited about it! One female biker took our photo and told us to yell "BITCHEZZ" while she snapped the photo. This is Isabelle lookin' way cute and badass. Such a funny wonderful memory! I will miss her when she moves back to Minneapolis :(

I JUST DIED.

My favorite blogger and personal hero, Elsie Larson of A Beautiful Mess and Red Velvet, just posted her wedding video. Of course, it is the cutest damn thing I have ever seen in my entire life. I may or may not have watched it multiple times and teared up a little bit. I seriously hope my life ends up like hers.

her wedding is so cute and creative, just like her.

Its Kind of a Funny Story...

Last night was one of the best nights of my life. Talk about a roller coaster ride of emotions! My favorite band, The Head and the Heart was playing a sold out show at the Crystal Ballroom with Iron and Wine. I was crushed, I wanted to see them so bad, but alas, I am poor. Then randomly, on twitter, they announced they were having a free show at Music Millennium. Me and my friend Madeline FREAKED OUT. We freaked out a bit to prematurely because the show got cancelled due to poor scheduling. We were crushed, it was the worst feeling ever. After laying on my bed in sadness for a while, I got a frantic knock on my door from Madeline. Thanks to her crazy ass desperate tweet, Josiah, one of the band members, had put us on the guest list for the show. SO WE GOT TO GO FOR FREE. It was probably one of the most exciting feelings in the world.

the tweets I got from the band. One apologizing for the mishap, and one replying to my crazy ass thank you tweet.

We felt pretty badass when we got to walk up to the box office and say we were on the guest list. It was silly. And of course, The Head and the Heart Rocked the show. IF YOU HAVE NOT PURCHASED THEIR ALBUM YET, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

After the show, we were able to chat with Josiah and thank him for being such a nice guy.

And the next morning he tweeted us this :)

Overall, such a wonderful experience that I will never forget. Not only is the Head and The Heart an awesome, talented band, they are full of some pretty compassionate people.
