There's a song I really like to listen to when I'm feeling pensive and kinda depressed. It's performed by Lana Del Rey. She has a characteristically smoky voice.
The song is called "Without You", and one of the lines goes like this:
"I even think I found God
In the flashbulbs of the pretty cameras-
pretty cameras
pretty cameras...
Am I glamorous? Tell me, am I glamorous?"
I hate it when someone texts me asking if I "wanna hang" and I really do, but I have to prepare a presentation about a trip to a Chinese village for the Rotary Club.
She explained one of her methods to me.
"In order to be best friends with someone," she shared, "you must be able to ask questions". People love to talk about themselves. When you ask them to talk about themselves, they feel like you care.
"So they FEEL like you care? Well... back then, did you care about me?" I asked.
"Of course I did".
I'd only worked a week, selling "high-quality kitchen cutlery". I gained many things: $183.43, people skills, a set of knives.
I lost a week of my life I'll never get back.
The principal of my high school is in charge of defending the vast treasures that Michael White had hidden in the Michael White Adobe.
My friend Austin and I found the secret entrance while on a jog one day.

It's all about looking ahead and keeping your eyes on the goal.
"Whatever you manifest is right before you".
There are certain people I've met who just know how to navigate... around people. They can see the thin layers that some people tread on and they can play it to their advantage.
One such person is Nate. He's the ASB president next year, so he's basically on top of the whole school. He knows how to get on your good side but he can also lay his foot down when he needs to to get you to do things for him.
He's like the icing on a cake. Sweet, delicious, but also unhealthy in large doses.
All you need to know is in the following note. Just follow the goddamn instructions and you'll be fine. Don't forget to tell Tracy everything you see and hear at the end of the trip.
Instructions:
-Find the bottle of nitrogen dioxide
-Freeze it
-Open it when Tracy is here
-Take her into The Room
Everything else will be taken care of once you're in The Room. I have left a tape. I am expecting you soon.
