That’s our graduation song. I kid you not. And nobody remembers getting to vote on it! When they started playing it at practice today, I thought it was the Jeopardy theme song at first. Everyone was rolling their eyes, saying it was uber cheesy.
Finally got our yearbooks today! Let me say now, I hate people that sign yearbooks with stuff like, HAGS. For people I don’t like, I at least sign out, Have A Great Summer. And isn’t “a” not supposed to be capitalized in things like that?
Graduation practice was brutal. Standing out in the sun, and practicing walking, standing, and sitting. Fun. Plus I had stupid person I’ve known for years behind me, and he was being obnoxious. Then we also had Honor Guard practice at the warmest time of the day. Nearly burned the skin of the back of my legs when I backed into my chair. Felt sorry for the guys that have to set up the stage on the lawn. Oh excuse me, the “Field of Dreams”.
Tomorrow is it. Yikes. So many of my friends I won’t get to see nearly every day, maybe not ever again. Tried to get screen names from as many as possible so I can still keep in touch with them.
Nothing from Mod yet. I had to modify something the day after I submitted, so it might take an extra day.
We’re leaving on vacation Sunday, and my grandma is coming Friday for graduation. I probably won’t be able to get online at home until next Mondayish. If I have to, I’ll reply to comments on Mod from the laptop we’re bringing.
Maybe I’ll get some Cold Comforts sequel, or other story writing done while I’m gone. I seem to have better motivation when I’m gone lately. Wrote a good part of the story over spring break.
HAGS! *gags*
God, my legs are so stiff right now. Just spent most of the day in the mountains at creek camping place for grad trip. So I’m not a swamp girl. More like a creek critter.
But despite my current paralyziation, it was uber awesome! Spent lots of time in the creek with my friends, forcing them to go with me. They were freaking out, and I was just tromping along over rocks, and through plants. I think calling them Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. At the end of the day, they were almost as much of creek critters as me.
Submitted some sweat shorts to Mod, still waiting for response. I’m a horrible at waiting.
Last Monday! Wednesday is our Grad. Swim Trip! Squeeee! And also, Yikes! Middle aged teachers swimming. Ick.
No more homework. I wouldn’t even have to bring my backpack if I didn’t have my stupid flute, and lunch.
But that also means I don’t have anything to do. And I’m bored. Feel like trying to create something in Bodyshop, think I’ll boot it up.

Next week is my last week! Damn, this year went by fast.
Last night was the big end of the year dance. 2 of my friends came over to prep.
And I felt like I spent so much of the night looking for him. Sigh. Especially on the dance floor. Bonus points cuz he never slow danced with a girl, which is a good thing.
Feeling warm and happy and sad at the same time thinking back. He came and sat down at a table with me and my friends, and next to me! even though there were other chairs. We now even have the same phone! Gah, I sound stupid. I was really excited about that, since it was the first time I really got to talk to him that night. We talked for a while.
And played fooseball in the game room they had set up. Let me say this now, he does a very scary score dance. Not that I’m any better.
I almost wish we were going to different schools next year, so I could confess, and possibly never see him again. But things always work out so we go to the same school, which I’m thankful for, because if it wasn’t for school, I’d never see him. Sigh.
Listening to: Somewhere Only We Know by Keane
6 more days. Yikes. I wanna get out of the school I’m at, but I don’t want to go to. This means the somewhat end of the Fab 4. Me and my bestie are going to the same school, and the other two are going to two other schools. And our other close friend was at midget school this year, but she’ll be with M next year. *sniff*
I’ve been writing again lately. Got an idea for a book in my head, and I’ve been working on it. Slow going though, since it’s mainly in emails so far.
Posted couple of photos on Flickr, advertising some possible housing projects for Mod.
Got a delicious plate of nachos on my lap, calling my name.
Filed under: Career
9 more days! 9 more days!
Plus pretty much all school day trip, and last day which is 9:45-12. Cuz in 9 more days I will never have to go on that campus again! Yes!!!
Finally finished with Career Project! After tomorrow I will never have to speak of it again. But I’ll have to give my speech. *hides* I hate, hate, HATE public speaking. Having all those people stare up at me with their beady little eyes. Not that any of them care/are listening.
Think tomorrow we have to do the hand-prints on hideous bumblebee colored wall thing. Why did they paint over the mural with the hobo in it for that?! That thing held such great memories. *sniff* Like 1. But it was funny!
Lately I’ve been playing with this project neighborhood. I started with 4 married couples, each couple both have the same hair color. So I have the:
Blonde Gilligans
Brunette McAllisters
Black haired Scavellis
and Red headed Conaleighs.
Everyone but the Gilligans has had a kid, and the kids are all going to marry into the other families, so I’ll have this giant web of genetics. 3 kids each, so each one can marry another families kid. Eventually I’ll have to throw in a new sim or two into the mix so I’m not inbreeding them all. But it’s gonna be really cool to have all the sims be related somehow.
So far I have McAllister twins (Courtney and Gavin) a Conaleigh girl (Eileen) and a Scavelli girl (Bethany). I need some boys!
Mini post by blog addicted me
Just realized that since I fiddled with it, my clock on the entries is accurate!
Was actually able to sleep normally last night.
Now I must charge my phone, since it’s dying, and I’ve got a boring band concert tonight. Maybe I’ll bring my book and get that finished with too.
Pretty much done with the great load of projects and stuff I had!! Thanks to the craptastic band concert (which no one wants to hear) I had to finish my constellation project today. Which I have no idea if I did right.
And I’m one step closer to being done forever with the career project tomorrow! Finished the paper, citations and all. Next I just have the display, and speech. Great. I hate public speaking. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I don’t mind writing my speechs, just actually saying them. Blech.
Once again, the weekly Wednesday sleep whining. I can never fall asleep when I want to on Wednesdays. Probably because I get to sleep in, and then I’m not as tired. I don’t know.
After school gets out, we’re going on vacation to southern part of the state. For some reason I suggested looking at one of the local state colleges there. I have no idea why. I have no intention of going there, it has a kinda crappy psychology program, and I’ve never even seen the place. Plus I really want to go to the University of Washington, which I haven’t told my parents, and I have no idea if they know. Really, I don’t know why I suggested it.
And now finishing up with writing complaining. I haven’t written anything for probably a week. Cold Comforts and its sequel are kind of on short-term hold while I play around with smaller story ideas. And even those are getting ignored. Hopefully I can get into a better focus on building the sets I need, and pictures taken for CC over the summer. In June/July it will be a year since the last story I uploaded. Yikes!
For my own purposes:
-Final Draft of Career Paper (With in notes and bib.) Due Thursday
-Posterboard & Speech Due June 5th
-Car experiments Due Thursday
-Constellation Project Due Thursday
Death to Thursdays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
T Minus 17 days. But then again I have like 50 million things to be doing.
Science- Stupid car and workbook stuff. Car due Thursday, so is Workbook
Math- Project, which I’m finally DONE WITH!!!! But then the teacher’s probably gonna heap on more work. Grrrr.
Band- Have to do concert, meet @ 8 Thursday morning. But the place is across the street from me, so that’s all dine and fandy. Plus I get out of school for 3 hours. Sweetness.
Language Arts and all that jazz: Career Paper Section 3 was due today. Then Section 4 on Friday. Have a while after that to work on other stuff.
So back to back blogging again! Go me!
Think I’m having party-ish funtime with friends on Saturday night. My parents have to go to some old guy birthday party, and wanted me to invite people over, or go somewhere. That should be fun.
Nothing else to say.
Miley out.
