WINTER
*Moving to Manchester in February. It’s real great out here…not. I miss Lakewood. :(
*The first hanging outs with the “crew” (as Nicole says). Technically, we all first hung out in October 2003, but I don’t remember doing anything until around January/February.
*I started to let my hair grow, because I was tired of having the same exact haircut since 5th grade.
*Got my permit.
SPRING
*My accidental de-closeting at Applebee’s in April…that wasn’t awkward in any way…:\
*Band trip to Virginia Beach. I actually had a pretty shitty time, because I didn’t really know anybody that went. The only memory I have of that trip is Kate Baumer at Busch Gardens asking why ice cubes have holes on one side. I still wonder…
*I, Ryan Hague, stopped traffic on Brick Blvd near the Brick Plaza. Awesome.
*1940s decade project…I still have nightmares about that day. Brings back bad memories of Nicole Gervato’s dad walking around and “directing” our project with his shirt off. At least everyone got along…not.
*Princess, my cat, died on May 7 :(
SUMMER
*Going to Wildwood with the extended family on my mom’s side…nothing like 14 uncooperative Uske family members…
*Getting to know Nicole much better
*Spanish soap operas
*Mind games at Six Flags
*Dolphin Discovery!
*Hilary's 'surprise' party
*KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park…lol
*Becoming addicted to cheesy Canadian television (thanks Nicole!)
*Flynn in one of his louder voices: "GUYS, HAGUE'S GAY!" That wasn’t loud
*Giving Selph $60 interest free…and meeting Selph’s friend Joe, who makes Selph seem like a bleeding heart liberal peaceful hippie.
*Flynn, with some beeping device: GAYDAR! (beep beep)
*There is no Mein Kampf 2...
*"Hi, I'm Leonardo. I like the expression in your eyes!"
*"It's been a pleasure. Come back and see us some time" (flamboyant waiter hitting on Devon)
*Nicole's pilfering stuff from the poster
*Devon's mysterious habit of coming late, eating, and leaving.
*Hero = worst. movie. ever.
*Going to Great Adventure on 7/7 with Jenn...and not realizing she was standing in front of me for a whole minute.
*Selph: "I have your money" "I'm gonna spend it" "No, I still have it" "Well, I might have it"
*Football on the beach, losing to 8th graders
*Flynn destroying Nicole's sand person :(
*Girl Next Door...horrible movie.
FALL/EARLY WINTER
*Junior year started…yay?
*”Snag!” >:o
*I broke my fag necklace in Willox's class...beeds all over the place..lol :(
*I replaced it with a fag wristband.:)
*I got my license/car in September :D
*Halloween…Jay and Silent Bob..
*Pasquale and Tiffany almost getting killed on the way to JB’s party..
*Convoy to the movie theater…why the hell did JB change lanes?
Overall, my year was ok. I went from being an anti-social loser with 2 friends to a semi-social loser with many friends. When I was "found out" in April I was sincerely afraid I was gonna lose the friends I had just made..but I didn't, cause you guys rock. :)
Here's to an awesome year in 2005?
