long time, no entry.
i graduated high school. my diploma is filled with gold stickers. i got one for honor roll, advanced regents, and national honor society. all that work for a few little stickers. the graduation itself was cool, better than expected. my mom commented on how it was kinda funny that the second joe and i saw each other we stuck together. guess those days are over now that high school is.. or are they? who knows. chris nicotera had his cap on really cool so i put bobby pins in it so make it stay. it was the first time i'd seen him since drunkeness in wildwood. he's my best new friend. we hugged and took pictures. the ceremony was okay. elana's speech was really funny and brought back some awesome tech memories, and the dedications to chelsea were amazing. when they called her name to receive the diploma, we all gave her a standing ovation. i hope she's doing okay. after the ceremony ms moschetta found me and gave me a hug and kiss. she asked how i was, where i'm going to college, and if i'm still with joe. i answered her questions and thought it was really sweet of her to come find me. she seemed to really genuinely care. i went out to eat with my family. no one got to see my pretty dress.
that night mike horn and i went to pathmark to buy cookies for joe, and we went to his house to save him. we convinced him to come out with us, and we all went to eat at applebees. after that we went by garys and spent some time in the rain. tuesday was samantha's birthday. she wore a tiara and fun frilly things. it was cute. i had to pee a lot because i drank three vitamin waters so we had to drive all the way to white castle for a toilet. rachel got drunk off of one smirnoff drink. it was sad. then don came and there were fireworks. we walked down the boardwalk and then he drove me home. on wednesday i drove my sister to camp, then came home and slept all afternoon. don came over when i got out of the shower and i played him songs on the acoustic guitar. we picked up chaz and carianne and then went to eat. don put on the hemp bracelet that i made him. then we met everyone and went to the movies. war of the worlds wasn't as good as i had expected, but still pretty cool. don held my hand the whole time. he drove me home and i gave him a hug and a kiss goodbye because he left for europe for two weeks. he's on the plane right now.
my mother made me a bank account with a debit card, and put $500 into it. i got my very own checkbook and my actual debit card should be here in about a week. it's pretty cool. scary to be so old though.
i have lotsa over-due pictures, but my dad hasn't given me the graduation ones yet.
