Doesn't get any better than this.

SCHOOL'S OUT!

School is FINALLY out for the summer. Instead of dwelling on how long and miserable a year in high school can be, i'm gonna recall some of my favorite "school" related things. 

                                                The song "School Days" by The Runaways.

Ahhh The Runaways. Real teenage girls playing real rock n roll.

Lyrics to "School Days":

(Kim Fowley/Joan Jett)

Used to be the trouble maker
Hated homework, was a sweet heartbreaker
But now I have my dream
I'm so rowdy for eighteen 

Never read a single book
Hated homework and the dirty looks
Now I live my life
There's a lot I seen at eighteen 

School days, school days
I'm older, now what will I find
School day, school days
Starting to slip I'm losin' my mind 

Used to be the wild one
Hated class only lived for fun
I'm mean an' got my schemes
At the crazy age of eighteen
Never made the honor roll
Hated rules what I was told
Now I am almost free
It's a dangerous scene when you're eighteen 

School days, school days
I'm older, now what will I find
School day, school days
Starting to slip I'm losin' my mind

ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL

Geeks, jocks, rockers, kiss asses, principles, music teachers, giant mice and The Ramones. What more does a movie about high school need?

HEATHERS

                                            

"Fuck me gently with a chainsaw."

Skins

My favorite t.v. show about high school.

GHOST WORLD

                                               

One of the best examples of friendship and moving on.

One of my favorite paintings by Jean Michel Basquiat.

LISTS!: Top ten coolest people edition.

This list is a work in progress. More people will be added on as i think of them.

NUMBER ONE:

Joan Jett

Joan is the epitome of everything cool. She's always been something of a legend in my mind. A god. Someone i hear about, but probably doesn't exist. Well I recently saw her in concert and holy shit. SHE EXISTS!

NUMBER TWO:

Tim Gunn

Tim Gunn just gives me warm feelings inside. He's kind, genuine and has impeccable style.

Good morning.

Katchoo and Francine getting ready in the morning. 

God! How I envy those legs.

Death Proof

My sister has been begging me to watch "Death Proof" with her forever, so i finally (reluctantly) watched it and.... HOLY HELL. I love this movie.

Book of the day: Neon Angel by Cherie Currie

Neon Angel has helped me get through finals today. Actually I found it hard to focus on my 100 question French final exam when i knew this book was sitting in my bag.

Lookin' Good.

I'm seriously considering getting a new look. Here are some people i'm gonna look to for advice.

Kristen Stewart. I love her "no bull shit" attitude even more than her "no bull shit" style.

Chloe Sevigny  .  I don't know if it's her classic yet eccentric style or her sheer beauty that draws me to her, but either way, I could use a little Chloe Sevigny in my look.

M.I.A. When I first realized how obsessed I was with M.I.A., I spent a week in my bedroom sketching outfits for her and listening to "Galang" and "Boyz". She has the most intriguing sense of style i've seen in a long time.

Julian Casablancas....maybe I should just start smoking.
