Today I graduated from high school. The ceremony was fairly boring. The best part was indeed having Stone Phillips as guest speaker, because he was indeed both informative and interesting. All the student speakers made me CRINGE. The Danielle gal just had me shouting "CLICHE! CLICHE!" repeatedly in my head, and Jared quoted Switchfoot lyrics for ( Read more... )

Good day. A lot of walking and some talking, brief food (that part could have been better), good hug, goodbye. Things finally got better for the end. However, I don't like this whole "end" concept. Everyone keeps talking like we're all going to DIE, when really we're just done with high school and going to various colleges. Everyone could still ( Read more... )

Today I got an interesting e-mail. I don't know whether or not it's going to actually be a good thing, but the gesture was enough to actually put me in a pretty good mood. Yesterday I got a climbing harness from the Rasmussens (long story, but it seemed so novel that Dane and I thought alike) and I gave them their gifts too. I want to go gift- ( Read more... )

The book we're reading in Spanish right now, "Marianela"? I can relate to her SO much. She's this horribly ugly gal who lives with a hostfamily that doesn't appreciate her and never tells her she's loved. She's horribly in love with a blind guy who doesn't know she's ugly, but rather thinks she's beautiful; she knows that as soon as he learns to ( Read more... )

Life is neh. The Rasmussens are gone for the entire weekend AGAIN, so I'm enjoying the freedom, but missing the Dane. It's sucked that for the last week I've been so "guardedly down" I haven't felt like I could approach ANY of the R's lately, even Dane. I just keep hiding. Hence the other day when I spent a couple hours at One Stop Pet Shop and ( Read more... )

I had a surprisingly good day yesterday. And the reason for this is because I spent it with a lot of friends, all of whom I didn't have baggage with. Non-baggage friends rock. I spent most of it at Solo and Ensemble (again, being a professional groupie and just spectating, not actually competing) and had a good time. If you count the three brass ( Read more... )

Last night was the closest I've ever come to suicide. Seriously. The idea has never really bothered me much, but last night was the first time I ever evaluated my life and thought, "Wow. It's like it's a movie. This is exactly when I should commit suicide. I want to stick it to certain people, it hurts too much to breathe right now anyway, and ( Read more... )

Home sick again. It's not TOO bad this time. Fletch infected me. Bah ( Read more... )
