My Mumbling Thoughts

This Friday started off really slowly, but it was totally worth it because this afternoon rocked. ROCKED.

After I finished up my work, I hung out around the office so I could kill some time and let the Friday traffic die off. It turns out that work is a lot more fun when you're not on the clock and can waste away the afternoon with fellow coworkers. We talked, ate crap food out of the vending machines, tossed a little soccer ball to each other, smoked, talked shit about people, and then decided that it was late enough to where traffic might be tolerable.

It didn't matter though because the weather was GORGEOUS and I think that Mother Nature has decided to loosen her grasp a little bit on us poor folks down here who have been turning into people soup. Today, however, a lot of people were brave enough to roll their windows down and let the wind blow through their hair. I don't care what anyone says, I'll drive with my windows rolled down any day of the week instead of sitting with the air conditioner blasting. There's just something completely different about driving your car with the music as loud as the car will allow and letting your hand drape over the side of the window while smoking and singing along to whatever is tearing up your speakers. You can't do that with the a/c cranked on, I'm sorry. You just can't.

When I got home, I was pleasantly surprised to see not one, not two, but three whole College Presents resting in my bed. Mel bought me a beautiful purse from Coach. Oh yeah, plus the matching wallet. I really need to learn how to upload pictures on here (tips, anyone?) so I can show it off. It's so pretty. And so perfect. It also smells great. I'm totally carrying this around until I die.

But! The third present was the most surprising (I already knew Mel was going to get me the perfect pocketbook). It was a CD from Melissa congratulating me on getting into college. Thank you, Melissa! She sent a sweet message with a compilation of her favorite British bands. Really, I was completely surprised. Not only that, but I was just thinking this past week how I wanted to make some more CDs and send it out to more bloggers (the offer still stands if you want a CD; just let me know). She has some kick ass songs on here and I was really excited to see "West End Girls" by the Pet Shop Boys on there, because I've had that song stuck in my head for a couple of months now. Oh yeah, I said months. Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Libertines, The Smiths and other wonderful artists that I'm in love with and would willingly give up my left leg for without thinking twice.

So again, thanks a million, Melissa. It's fabulous. And no worries, I definitely will not be disappearing from the blogosphere after I move across the pond. It'll take a lot more than that to get rid of me. Ha! You should plan a trip over to London sometime and we'll create havoc in all the pubs. It'll be great.

Ahhh...such a good Friday. Not only that, tomorrow is going to be spent relaxing at Amy's house, drinking liquor, hanging out by the pool and soaking up the 75 degree weather that is planning to wash around our skin. Seriously, could life get any better?
