i've got a high school crush on a california girl oh yeah

I'm getting into neon Weetzie Bat summer witch surfer girl skater babe vibes as soon as finals are over. My brains have melted from school and the heat and can no longer think in terms of academics. During my interview test for French my teacher asked what I later found out meant, "What is your favorite dessert?" and I answered what I later found out meant, "I love biology!" So, you know. Summer. Please?

  4. These images somehow remind me of The Virgin Suicides; maybe because I just watched it.
    I know exactly what you mean; I have exams coming up and my mind is just ... blah at the moment.
    I love your unique style and individuality.

  7. Tavi, Have you watched Buffy yet? It's basically MSCL -- with vampires.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Oh, Tavi. Just wait until you get to college. And then graduate school. No summers when you need the credits.

    Also, please tell your teachers how much they mean to you... many of them have to stay at school and do workshops. It's boring, we teachers don't like it. We teach because of you, and when you're not there, it's just work. Boring work.

  10. I love everything that looks gothic - I especially like the first photo with the rodent. The hair and make-up (the girl's and not the rodent's) look awesome. By the way, I still cannot understand why you visit school. Do your parents force you to do so? Had I had a chance, I would have skipped school in the first possible moment - actually that was what I did. I have quite an acceptable IQ and knowledge about literature and arts (I do not want to boast, but there you go), but surely I do not owe it to school and teachers and classmates... You really could afford to leave school...

  14. Fun! :-)) Colourful and textural magical mystery vibes. Nice mix of words and images, Tavi.

    And thanks for the songs! Speaking of which, I’m in the process of writing one now. I’ve taken some inspiration from your “rei kawakubo (H&M)”. The song will be called ‘This is a Hold Up’. I originally had in the chorus, “That’s what he said and that’s OK!” But then decided it’s probably not such a good thing to endorse, so changed it to, “That’s what he said, it’s not OK!”

    I’m sure Lennon/McCartney went through this kind of moral complexity all the time during their song-writing days :-)

  34. Kionon - I appreciate my teachers a great deal! My dad taught at my school for over 30 years and has instilled in me lots of respect for my educators. (If that doesn't sound like an English teacher's daughter's comment...)

    Mina Jade - Ha, I actually really like high school, and all my different teachers have a lot to offer. I wouldn't be allowed to quit and even so I wouldn't want to.

  38. loving this entire post. "witch baby" is the first FLB novel i ever read. this post has inspired me to take my dangerous angels chronicles along when i go on tour for two weeks with my friends' band as my reading material.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I'M SOOOOOO happy to see that Real Life teenagers still find out about Francesca Lia Block books, I was so bummed when all the vampire books were at the borders but there was no sight of FLB last time I checked around the holidays. Also, your playlist was a great soundtrack to clean my apartment to and think of my friends and family in CA while I'm in the midwest also!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Have you read the Angus, Thongs, etc books? Your "I love biology" is a classic :)

    "Victory. Victory. Madame Slack has been on my case about being lazy in French and I have just got eighty-five percent in a test. Hahahaha. Fermez la bouche, Madame Slack. I did it by learning twenty-five words and then making sure I answered every question by using only those words. So to question one-'In French, what is your favorite food?' my answer was "Lapin" (rabbit). For my essay, 'What did you do on a sunny day?' I made sure I played with a rabbit. Describe a favorite book-Watership Down-lots of lapins in that" -Georgia Nicolson.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Thanks for reminding me of Witch Baby! Now I want to go re-read it ASAP.

    And I LOVE when you post these mixes. Your taste in music is fabulous. I was especially pleased to hear some Joni Mitchell today.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Did you ever read Violet & Claire? That was by far my favorite FLB book when i was teenager. Her style of writing so beautiful and ethereal...

    ReplyDelete
  43. I love this. It makes me want to draw evil eyes on my forehead & stare at strangers.

    I have finals tomorrow but instead of studying today I just went to the beach. It's too hot. Also don't feel bad about French-someone in my Spanish class opened her written exam letter with 'Dear Rosa, what is your name?'

    ReplyDelete
  44. Tavi,

    You must immediately get yourself all albums by Helium, but start with Pirate Prude and Dirt of LUck to continue your summer vibes. "Honeycomb" is my favorite song EVER. Mary Timony, who you probably already know, is exactly your kind of woman--witchy, sparkly, bee-yoo-tee-ful, and ridiculously talented.

  47. A very special friend of mine gifted me Dangerous Angels as a Christmas present. There is something so sickly sweet about a tale in the City of Angels that gives me reason to want to visit California in the near future. Like others have stated, I too find you wonderfully and refreshingly inspirational. Enjoy your summer~ <3

  55. I heart The Velvet Underground. My fave from them is "I'm Sticking With You" because it sounds like a love note from a science nerd. And I say "nerd" with luhrve. I love rainbow/cosmic/mellowed out/surfer girl/California vibes. Speaking of "California", that's my fave song from Joni Mitchell. Haha.
