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*



Swamp Girl

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.



4 Days!

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.



Last Dance

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.



Oh simple thing, where have you gone?

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.
