Today was the perfect day to end my small little summer with. Jenn and I decided to ride our bikes to the art market. We left around noon, and got there over an hour later. It was beautiful weather, and it was amazing to just ride and listen to music and go through Riverside. The art market was still disappointing, with way more vendors and not very much art. Jenn’s aunt has a stall there selling wheat grass. I didn’t know, but it has a lot of amazing benefits aside from health benefits. We walked around for a while and I got a muffin, and then it started to rain. We decided to just wait it out, but it kept getting worse. I kept checking my phone to find a lull in the rain, but there was nothing, so we went ahead and rode our bikes to Al’s to wait it out. Although in the short ride from the Art Market to Al’s we were completely soaked. At first both of us were completely miserable, but we realized that it was actually a lot of fun riding in he rain. So we kept going and went to Kickback’s. I went inside and just stood in the door until a waiter came over, all worried to see this soaking wet girl in the doorway, an he brought us inside and gave us towel and pretended like it was completely alright for us to be inside, all the whole looking very concerned. We ate there, and got our bikes to ride back to my house. Although in the short time that we were inside Kickback’s, the temperature dropped and it was really windy. We rode only about 2 blocks to Walgreens, and we about froze. So at Walgreen’s we bought flannel PJ pants and huge tee shirts. We changed in the bathroom and looked hilarious trying to scurry out of the bathroom and back to our bikes without being seen. Although that failed, since we saw the whole world. The owner of Violet was in there, which made me immediately ashamed of my purchases. Then once we got past Avondale, Thomas Taylor stopped and talked to us. We were wearing terrible PJs, soaking wet, with make up running down our faces. Once we got back to my house we changed and got under some blanket on the couch with some tea, and Jenn got a tweet from Preston, who also saw us apparently. So that’s just great. It was an epic adventure.
Tonight I hung out with Evan. Went to his house and watched this really surreal anime movie called Mind Game. The plot was interesting and it had a bunch of montages that showed how all of the character’s lives intertwined. It was a weird movie, but very good.
Tomorrow I leave for Miami. Boo. Although today was a good last full day at home.

Day 22 - Shopping, Charlie Bartlett
My mom and I finished shopping for work clothes today. Well, we tried to. We went to the town center and braved the rain and got a few more things. I just have no shoes. I have plenty of sandals, just no flats or anything. But I cant wear flats because my feet are so messed up. So I need to figure out all of that. I went to Express today, and I usually just ignore that the store even exists. But today we went in just to look, and we had possibly the most annoying sales girl ever. I kept telling her I was looking for clothes for a job in a business setting, and she kept pulling out the sluttiest clothes. And her voice… oh my god it hurt to listen to her. Granted, she was very sweet, but it was really annoying.
I went by the gallery today and picked up my very first commission check. $75. Whoo. Not very much, but it is still exciting to be paid for something I love to do. I worked on packing and everything tonight, since I leave on Sunday afternoon. I already have a flight home for next weekend. Thank god. I am excited to start work, but I am not ready to leave Jacksonville. I feel like my summer will be over.
Tonight Rob and I took part in National Doughnut day by going to Krispy Kreme, as always. We weather tonight was amazing. We drove with the windows down and good music playing. The moon was reflecting perfectly on the river. We sat on Robs back porch, listened to music, wrote in The Book and chucked it back and forth. I began the ngiht with it, and somehow I ended the night with it till in my possession. Not sure how the happened. We came back to my house and watched Charlie Bartlett, and I am still watching it. He has work super in the morning and bailed on me for the rest of it and High School throwback time with some Guitar Hero.
Tomorrow is going to be jam packed with packing and riding bikes to the art market and what not. Last full day at home.
(407): in the event that i am dead, my body is laying in the intersection of ... the pearl in springfield. it was my friend's 21st but i think i'm dead. wearing a black top. like i said, probably dead.
