anyone?

does anyone ever want people to be so happy all the time and
just love each person that they meet so much that it makes
them sad because it's not possible for all of them to be happy
all the time?

a long, long day.

last night my slumber was put off until the wee hours of four o'clock in the morning today. waking at ten was a struggle but i did it and made it to work at 10:45am for my first hosting shift. with a two hour break before working again at four, i used the time to lounge as hard as possible in my bed before dragging myself back to the bee's. the hardest part of the day though was definitely the surprise snow storm that we experienced (are still experiencing) in burlington. as if being tired weren't enough, no one can debate the fact that lousy, cloudy, gloomy, etc. weather adds to one's sleepiness factor tenfold- and come on, snow in the last week of april? not just flurries, folks- we are talking real snow. jay peak is opening again on thursday for the weekend! ridic. 

during the lounging between shifts, i took the time to catch up on some npr podcasts i hadn't tuned into recently. the podcast from april 13th includes rafter roberts, broken social scene, some odd japanese pop group that i couldn't really get into, and a sweeet cover of the cranberries "dreams," performed by passion pit. you should totally check out the cover, especially if you were ever a cranberries (or closet cranberries) fan, even if the only songs you knew were zombie, linger, and dreams. you can check it out here and you can listen to the entire podcast at the npr website. keep all songs considered in mind because it is definitely a podcast worth subscribing to. anywho, time to get some sleep in tonight earlier than i was able to yesterday. still getting healthy after my saturday hospital visit. xoxo. maggie.

the first portion of today was spent working in the morning and running out of gasoline in the university mall parking lot. my idiocy of letting my fuel tank get that low turned into a happy accident when i got to see my good friend chas on his birthday even though i had worked too long for us to be able to get a late birthday lunch.

the rest of the day, despite the morning's series of unfortunate events, was extremely fantastic. sam, garrett, oliver and i went to winooski and i documented their skateboarding endeavors. have a looksee and hopefully a few of these shots are better than average.

after the boys were finished with their boarding, sam and i stopped into the marketplace for some coffee and then i accompanied his job hunt. what a lovely day with people i enjoy. now, anna and my new pal julian are on their way down to my apartment so i must be out for meow. xoxo. maggie.

this is so fucking cool.
the clothes are beyond amazing.
my goal in life is to be in
attendance of openings like
these- and preferably not just
as a +1. xoxo. maggie.

asdkjfh.  take these songs with all of you today/this week.

and pps: i'm seeing THAO on monday. !

souls of mischeif - step to my girl
peter, bjorn & john feat. drake - let's call if off remix
lykke li - i'm good, i'm gone (black kids remix)
born ruffians - foxes mate for life
tupac - keep ya head up
lykke li feat. drake - little bit remix  

• let it also be said, the drake remix of little bit has nothing on the original, but drizzy adds a nice something if you've temporarily exhausted the real thing. it's essentially the same song, with a little drake and mickey factz tossed in between some choruses.

get me away from here.

i've been back from florida/salt lake city/everywhere and i'm starting to get restless. no one wants to get up spontaneously and go for a walk in the middle of the night. no one likes asking questions until there isn't anything left that you don't understand. where are all of these people? i miss in highschool when shannon and i would sneak out of our homes at the stroke of midnight on sunday (so technically monday) nights and be the monday night sneakers. we never had good flashlights but i would always know when i was close to shan because i could hear her manual flashlight being fiercely wound to try and keep it from perpetually flickering no matter how fast you turned the handle. i miss talking about everything with one person and having them understand every word of it. please. someone keep me from my restlessness.

belle & sebastian - get me away from here i'm dying
