Hey Livejournal!
It's an unfortunate occurrence that I, along with many other people my age, have become too busy to post the daily events that are certainly both worth writing about and worth hearing about!
It's been too long, but I'll try to bring you back up to speed. I even have a couple jokes of the day for you!
#1
Q: What did the blood donor say when his wife asked him how he felt after the process was over?
A: He said, "I feel a bit DRAINED, but other than that, I'm great!"
#2
Q: What did the Lawyer wear to work on his most important case?
A: A Lawsuit!
haha, anywho.
So, if you can recall the especially recent entries, I was writing in lieu of the twilight of my teenage years and a feeling of impending dread was highly influential to the way I was recording my last fleeting pre-adult thoughts. I think out of all things that have taken place, it would be appropriate to re-call the birthday weekend (aka Spring Weekend) in which I finally transitioned upon a new frontier of the TWENTIES.
It started with an incredible day. I relished the sunlight as I walked to get sizzlers with Shiloh and Becky, Nick Grillo and the OH-SO lovable, splendid, and DELICIOUS Sean Berry!
As I checked my mail, I found an AMAZING carepackage from my parents. After a delicious sizzler and a frantic THANKYOU phone call back home, I excitedly opened my present and found a copy of LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL ( a truly beautiful movie) and because my birthday is also National Earth Day, three wonderful recycled juggling clubs. Later that day, I was given a free I <3 Spring Weekend mostly just reserved for RA's and STAFF. After playing softball and frisbee with Nate and Chilling with Beth-Ann, I ventured to the AWESOME blow up obstacle courses and played and ate some free food with Jamie. I got a phone call from Andy, and then we went on a TEN mile bike-ride that REALLY tired me out, but was a great workout!
I returned a bit muddy and had thankfully just missed a grizzly BMX accident in which a professional biker had just fallen wrong, but got there in time to see him give a "Thumbs up" to the crowd as he was wheeled into an ambulance. Then Laura, Dave, Kaitlyn and I hung out and checked out some awesome vynal CD's which were amazing. At the dusk of a great day, I journeyed home and found a "The Rocket Summer t-shirt" which I had ordered online but forgot about! After catching up with the rents for a bit, I journeyed down to UNH to chill with Brad. While sneakin' a free meal in the HoCo, we saw Elsa and asked if she might want to come and see Jacks Mannequin, Cartel and Treaty of Paris...and she was like SURE!!
So after we all piled into the car, we found ourselves at Keene on an especially starry night. Soon we went out to stargaze and play on the playground. It was an amazing time and the warm spring air was so refreshing as we ran around and climbed on the monkeybars, and played on the swings. At 11:57, before we were to say goodbye to being teenagers forever, we listened to MxPx - Party at my house; a song which pretty much sums up teenage rowdiness, fun and optimism. On our birthday we went to Sturtevant Chapel and sat with CCfC which was amazing, and ate cake at Ashulot park, where we were able to dip our feet into the river and play in the grass with Elsa and do cartwheels. We also played frisbee and ate popcorn with Hayley, ate cookies that Shiloh and Becky had made for us, and finally go to see the concert! Dave and Sean Berry waited in line with us, and we rocked out to songs of which I might have known like, 2 percent of. Haha.
It may not sound like it, but it was still such an amazing day, and I was glad that I was able to spend it with Bradley :-) Although I was worried about saying goodbye to constant self-discovery, as well as figuring out who I am, I realized that the only thing that changed was a significant increase in confidence in life, and at least a vague solidification of who I know I am now as well as who I know I want to become.
But by the by, I think that's it for now!
If you've read this far, I commend you for you excellent attention-span and I plan to update on the summer soon!
love the love,
