All the fallen leaves will find their branches again...
(The Whigs)
I'm definitely a fallen leaf. I'm looking for my branch but I don't know where it is. Europe? America? If it's America, is it in Boston? NYC? California? I'm really not sure what I want to do with myself these days.
In other less methaphorical news, it is SO HOT here. Like 90s. Awful heat. We're going shopping for swim suits today so we can hit the beach this weekend.
I have strep too, which sucks but my poor body will fend it off I'm sure. It's been through way too much already this year, but hopefully this will be the last sickness.
Oh and I got a job at Borronne's, for those of you that don't already know. I'm working there this summer. Come find me among the other gorgeous employees (that's what Borronne's is known for among me and my friends)!

Hard Candy
(Madonna!)
There are tons of concerts in California this summer! I plan on attending a copious amount, as usual.
Starting today, there will be a concert list running at the end of each post. Because music is my life and I love talking about it.
Concert 1:
Projekt Revolution 08 featuring Ashes Divide, Linkin Park, Chris Cornell, Hawthorne Heights, The Bravery, 10 Years, and others.
Has so many headliners I want to see I am not sure what to do with myself!
Concert 2:
San Francisco Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival, featuring Jack Johnson, Cold War Kids, Lupe Fiasco, Tom Petty, Beck, Wilco, Radiohead, Ben Harper, and others.
The NorCal version of Cochella.
Concert 3:
Maroon 5, Augustana, and Counting Crows!
Concert 4:
Madonna in November
Concert 5:
NIN in September
Concert 6:
Stone Temple Pilots with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
That's all for now. I'm hoping Eagles of Death Metal will get added to that list, but you never know.

Utopia...
(Goldfrapp)
Today I went to Yogurtland again. Hehe. I'm gonna get fat.
Not the point of this post. The point:
I donated to save people in Burma today. And it felt HELLA GOOD.
I've been hearing about Burma on the news. How its own government won't allow humanitarian aid, and how our government is urging them to allow us to help them out, but they're refusing on the basis of our poor reputation. So it was pretty awesome when my aunt linked me to this site. They donate to Burma's monks to bypass the government directly, so aid gets to the civilians.
I have a friend who donates to charity every month. I think I'm going to start doing it too. It feels really good.
Because, like my title says, we don't live in utopia. We actually live in a pretty crappy world. And I'd like it to be better, even if my measly $20.00 only does so much.

I'll Carry You Home
(Hold me now...Sweet and Low, little girl...by Augustana)
This week brings disillusionment, confusionment, and some good ol' amusement.
Part I: Disillusionment
I want to be a journalist. But I also want to be whatever I will love the most. Would I be better as a producer or as journalist? Producer is something I never considered before. Music is something I never thought I would go into, but after having it suggested to me, I suddenly thought maybe it would be a good niche for me. Or signing bands to record labels...I just don't know.
But I want to affect things. Will I affect things by helping people make music? I think music changes the world, but it doesn't stop people in Somalia from being massacred. But could I really do that if I was a journalist? I probably wouldn't even be able to write what I wanted to write half the time.
Which brings us to Part II: Confusionment.
As I was mulling this over, I realized I'm not 100% sure of where I'll end up next year. I don't have housing for UCI for fall 08, which I need, because I won't be able to stay and finish my work here for winter transfer if I don't have it. I might be dropping out early and transferring with a quarter's work missing. And I don't know where I'll be come a half a year from now--I could be in NYC, Boston, Switzerland, or even Montreal...
That's scary.
But it was all washed away by Part III: Amusement.
We went to Yogurtland last night. If you've never heard of this place, god, you're missing out. It's orgasmic. You get to take a cup (one of two sizes, large or extra large) and walk along this giant wall full of flavors of fro yo, and then fill your cup as full as you want. Then you scoop on toppings (fresh fruit, sprinkles, chocolate, mochi balls, candy...etc) and pay by the ounce! They even have fresh water with strawberries, and for those of you who are lactose intolerant (like me) this place claims their fro yo helps with that. I've even heard rumors that it's not dairy based (which, so far, seems to be true). So yes, it's delicious, healthy, and coming to Cupertino!!!

Scratch that, it's already in Cupertino! YAY!
