My Favorite Playlist

There's this one playlist that I made a while back that I keep updating, and I listen to it all the time. I named it Chillin' because all the songs are soft and easygoing (e.g Jack Johnson, The Shins, and, Regina Spektor) I always play this playlist at parties and whatnot. I've spent a lot of time perfecting it, making sure that all the songs belong and that the transitions between songs sound good. So here's the list in play order.

1. "Instrumental" - Braddigan (This guy is a friend of my uncle Chris he also has a band called "Dispatch")

2. "Situations" - Jack Johnson

3. "Better Part Of Me" - House Of Fools (One of my favorite songs ever)

Here's What's New

Let me start form the last time I saw all you guys (it's been an entire month, 31 days to be exact). Well, I got a faux-hawk; (pronounced fo-hawk) it's awesome. I've been out of school for 2 weeks, surviving finals was quite a task, but I did it, and my grades were very good. Of course, I didn't get any awards on the last day, but that came as no surprise. About a week later, I packed up and went camping and beach-going with a bunch of friends. Here's the list Carrie Bisciotti, Caroline Kerr, Gilbert Horst, Natalie Stephens, my cousin - Gregg Dwyer, my other cousin - Teresa Belcher, and Erica Lease (just listing the people who were my age). There were a bunch of other people came along to, and we had an awesome time staying up late and going to the beach where the water was numbingly cold. But all good things must end. We had to leave a day early because of a tropical storm, and that was a huge downer.
Alex has been in Europe for the past two weeks, marking the longest we've ever gone without arguing. He'll be home tomorrow.
I've discovered a bunch of amazing new bands lately, but I don't want to bore you with that. I'm probably too late to avoid that anyway. I also bought some cool band T-shirts; once you get over it's annoyingly hardcore appearance, Hot Topic is a great place to buy band T-shirts, and they're really comfortable, but be careful, they shrink.
One last thing, Please coment on music videos, I want to know what you all think of my musical discoveries, and I want to know that people are actually reading my blog. Over and out.

Mika - Grace Kelly

This song is so much fun. I heard it for the first time this weekend when I was camping with a bunch of my friends. It makes me smile whenever I hear it
