Seth Cohen Was My First Love

"Seth Cohen Was My First Love" shirt: Nylon Shop


Seth Cohen easily makes my Top 3 television character crushes. I always fall for the guy that is the unlikely (but clearly the best) choice for the girl. Cohen was the adorable, nerdy, emo kid in high school. He listened to Death Cab. He had the most lovable side-kick in all of human history: Captain Oats. He was sarcastic, witty, and quirky. In short, he was perfect!

There was a guy I knew in high school that was the epitome of Seth Cohen and I had the biggest crush on him. We're Facebook friends to this day and I have to restrain myself from liking all of his posts and professing my undying love for him on his timeline.

While all the other girls drooled over Ryan, I had it big time for Seth Cohen. So naturally, when I saw this t-shirt on Nylon Shop I HAD TO HAVE IT! Happy Early Birthday To Me. :)

P.S. Did you know that Seth Cohen and Blair Waldorf are married in real life? This makes me happy.
P.S.S. Here's a Seth Cohen mixtape for the adorakable emo in you. ;)

Take your time coming home.

Hear the wheels as they roll.
Let your lungs fill up with smoke.
Forgive everyone.

She is here and now she is gone
We had plans, we can't help but make love.

It's a beautiful thing when you love somebody,
and I love somebody.
Yeah I love somebody.

Take your time coming home.
Hear the wheels as they roll.
Let your lungs fill up with smoke.
Forgive everyone.
I don't think I'd been misled,
it was a rock 'n' roll band,
I'm still standing,
Take your time coming home.

See, of everyone who called,
Very few said "We believe in you."
The overwhelming choice said
I'm just a boy inside a voice
and if that's true, is it true, if it's true,
then what the f*** have I been doing the last six years?
How did I end up here?
How did I find love and conquer all of my fears?
See, I made it out.
Out from under the sun.
And the truth is that I feel better because I've forgiven everyone.

Now I'm not scared
of a sound
or the states
or the stages.
I'm not scared
I've got friends,
took my call,
came courageous.

Now I feel like I am home.

One more thing, I keep having this dream
where I'm standing on a mountain
Looking out, on the street
I can hear kids in low-income housing singing
"We're through with causing a scene"
I don't know what it means
But I too, am through with causing a scene.

She is here and now I think she's ready to go.
For every love that's lost I heard a new one comes.

So come on with me, sing along with me,
Let the wind catch your feet.
If you love somebody,
you'd better let them know.

Take your time coming home.

FUN.

arizona summers

I'm currently on my summer break from BYU-Idaho which means I'm back in the Arizona heat! But one of the good things about being home is the massive amounts of thrift shopping I get to do. There's just something about Arizona thrift stores that is so much better than Idaho thrift stores. Don't get me wrong, I've found many treasures in Idaho but I can always count on finding something special thrifting in AZ. My ultimate favorite vintage clothing store would have to be GrowOp Boutique in Phoenix. Pretty much any store down 6th street is a dream. I also discovered Trina's Thrift which is a lot closer to my home in Mesa and even though it's kind of chaotic on the inside, I've purchased so many cool clothes and records from that store.

Being back in Arizona is kind of weird because while everyone else is starting school again, my summer has just begun! So you can bet that I'll be blasting my summer jams until I go back to Idaho in September. Here's a playlist of some of my favorite summer songs:
