Farewell, Summer, You Scum.

In less than 6 hours, I'll be back in school.
I'm terrified. Lou is going to a new school, I have no friends, blah blah. I'd rant, but I don't feel like it.

I go into each new school year with hope of new friends, satisfactory grades, possible love interests. It never happens, though. I try.

In the meantime, I don't know what I'm doing with my life. On one hand, I really want to go into STEM, on the other, using my chronic uncoolness to make people happy sounds like the dream.
$5 says I don't do either and I do something completely unrelated.

I did buy a cool pair of shoes the other day, though. I really love online shopping, it gives me a reason to live for 3-5 business days. I need to buy more aromatherapy pens/vape pens because I don't want to be caught without one. Who am I kidding. It's a vape pen. I need to stop trying to hide it. I swear to god the package and the product is called an "aromatherapy diffuser".

Also, I had the best dream last night. Jillian Holtzmann made out with my face. It is the only dream I ever want to experience for the rest of my life. Good Lord.

I watched Stripes yesterday. It's how I imagined my dad's time in the Coast Guard. He use to tell Lou and I stories from boot camp on our way to school, it was undoubtedly the best part of my day. He actually use to have a friend that he claims looked and sounded exactly like John Belushi (I know he wasn't in Stripes, don't get on my back about this) called Booger I think (Dad, please correct me if I'm wrong on this, I know you read my blog.)? I dunno, I just always thought that was super cool.

I just found a brown recluse spider in my bathroom. They're one of the only spiders in the south you have to be careful of. I guess I'm not sleeping tonight.

Have I ever mentioned to you guys all the people I want to meet before I die? I'm not going to spout out the entire list because it's insanely long, but Bill Murray and Kate McKinnon are at the top of the list. I mention this because:

A) Kate McKinnon

B) Stripes is a great movie

C) Bill Murray lives relatively close to my town (Like, 6  hours away, no biggie) and occasionally comes to my town for football games because his son goes to the University here. That and we're in his town (or about 45 minutes away) at least four times a year.

D) It's almost football season.

What I would do to meet Bill Murray. And apparently, according to the internet, he's like, the sweetest human being in the world to his fans? Even though Dan Aykroyd calls him the "Murrican" and Harold Ramis actually ended his friendship with him because Bill was being a jerk? I don't know. I want to meet Bill Murray and no one will stop me.
Speaking of, there is literally an entire website dedicated to encounters with Bill Murray. I'm going to cry.

"Ava, what's one thing you want to do before you die?"

"Meet Bill Murray."

If anyone asks an asinine question like that tomorrow, that will be my answer. Count on it.


Also, the kitten's current name is Pringle. So, whenever people ask why her name is Pringle, I'll say "You try saying no to this salty parabola". Because I'm unoriginal and still obsessed with Kate McKinnon.


I'm going to get about six hours of sleep tonight. That's the most I've gotten all summer. Thank god.

On a related note, I hate summer. I'm sure I've mentioned this, but I really hate it. Wanna know what season I love? Fall. I get to wear my leather jacket, closed toe shoes, jeans, I get to drink tea all day, light candles, everything is pumpkin spice flavored, there's scarves, and gloves, and hats, everything is a pretty earthy color, IT'S COLD AND LOVELY, I could keep going. I should keep going. That list needs its own post.

I've also been checking the shipping status of my saddle like, six times every day the past few days. It's in NC right now.
I just remembered that I still need to buy a $260 half pad. Crapp.

That's good enough for today. I'm going to go freak out because I have school tomorrow.

CHEERS.
