'Cause, I'm on the brink of something beautiful and I want to sing about it, but I don't know where to begin.

I'm basically home alone right now because it's 12 midnight and my dad's sleeping. He didn't answer when I rang the doorbell twice, so I had to creep around the side of my house like a crazy person. I hammed it up though because I figured I would only do that a handful of times in my life. I jumped off the front porch and pause for a second, holding my purse close, and then began to tip-toe/creep/shuffle sideways in the dark to my garage. When I got to the little keypad security thing, I looked up then down, then from side to side before entering the top-secret code. I didn't even wait for the door to go up all the way. I crept under it stealthily and ran inside. It was epic.

The song "Summertime" by Mae makes me feel really nostalgic for some reason. Well, it reminds me of summer time. It goes:
"We could ride, we could ride.
Take my hand and watch the world go by.
Laugh or cry, well we need to try, get off the line, time to fly.
Oh, the summertime.

Go on ahead and let it fade away.
No looking back you know the past will stay.
It's you and me, we could get out of here.
Jump in and go and we could drive for years.
We could feel alive...

Here we are, here we are,
windows down we see a falling star.
Stop the car.
Waiting, nothing but our beating hearts, going far.
Oh, the summertime.

So feel the air, feel the air,
take the map and point to anywhere.
I don't care. Fingers through your hair,
the sky I've seen, blue and green.
Oh, the summertime."

Quite possibly my most favorite lyrics ever. I want summer to get here ASAP, but I'm alright because Spring Break is in 5 days. I'm really, really, REALLY excited. The break from school and this island is going to be perfect. And I get to bring my super amazing girlfriend along with me. I'm pretty sure that's the best part.

This weekend has been great so far. The perfect weekend. I couldn't design a better one. My mom is gone and my dad is totally chill. We saw a movie together today, just me and my dad, and the movie was awful. But we just cracked jokes the whole time. I really liked it.
The weather has managed to clear up these last two days too. I wish it would stay like this forever, but it's supposed to rain tomorrow and Monday.

I'm gonna go call Kara and make sure she's not dead.
Oh &
Gay marriage is now legal in Iowa. Hm. I've heard Iowa is nice...
