Unsurpassable Places

There's always that one place that you can't resist going in when you walk past it. For me, this addicting place is the Antiques Store. Nothing pleases me more than going inside and seeing the organized clutter and walking around on the old hardwood floor that creaks with every step. In the corner on the right, there's an entire briefcase of glass eyeballs. In the side room, there's a collection of Civil War military caps. And the postcards!

Another odd place I love to go in is the luggage store. There's something about different varieties of luggage set in one place.

And the last place I can never pass up an opportunity to go in is the bookstore. Barnes & Noble is my ultimate favorite. :) Just last week I used up the last of the money on my giftcard to buy one book. Somehow, that one book translated into three purchases. In all, I bought three books. I just couldn't restrain myself.

Do any of you have places you can't pass by on the street?

Update

I've already seen Star Trek and Transformers 2, so the only logical conclusion is to end the movie-going summer with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I'm certain it will fulfill my expectations. They're not very high, since the 5th movie was an epic failure. However, this movie looks halfway decent. Midnight showing, here I come.

My friends may ostracize me when they realize I'm not coming in full costume, but I run a "tight ship." lol. Well, seeing movies isn't the only thing I've been doing this summer. I've gone on scavenger hunts, partied till I dropped, and gone on a steep hike up the side of the mesa at the Petroglyphs. Life couldn't be sweeter.

On the other hand, recently I've experienced a loss...the whole family has. I hope that we will all be able to support one another and pray for strength.

Graduation

So I've graduated from high school. I know, I know. This blog post is just a tad bit late lol. Oh well. At least you're getting it now. Anyway, I wish to thank everyone who came to graduation and my party. Thanks to all my friends for letting me use them as models! They are so patient with me! :D
So, between the water fights and twister boards and icky white graduation robes, what is there to say? We're out. We're free. But sometimes it doesn't feel that way.
Sometimes it feels more like I'm walking into a trap. What trap? I have no idea.
Well, hopefully everything will turn out okay. Sally #2 keeps telling me to stop freaking out and he always knows best. Him and Bob. :D
So there are many people I haven't talked to in ages. I'm not too great with keeping up on the communications just so everyone knows. Sorry!
But that's life.
I should probably finish writing all my thank you cards today, but I really don't feel motivated.
So I don't think I will.

Book Update: Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino
Music Update: New Divide by Linkin Park

Besides doing absolutely nothing, I've been on Facebook ALL THE TIME. It's probably unhealthy how much I'm on fb. Oh well.
On another note, I finally have my very own Canon.
Dad has the 40D, but I just got the Canon Rebel T1i. 15 megapixels baby!
And I have a thing for naming cameras. Hey, it's just like an instrument. So I've named my Rebel Link Logan.
And the 40D's name is Aramis (after one of the 3 musketeers).
My Nikon is named Sebastian.
And I guess that's all lol.

I know this post was super random and riddled with mistakes, but I really didn't put any effort in. What pops in my mind is what goes in the post. That's it, pure and simple. I guess it's more like a direct flow from mind to keyboard.
