The past few days have been pretty cool, as I've had plans for all of them!
I went out to a lacrosse dinner, the last time the whole team was going to be together. Well, kinda. We went to Logan's and had a huge party...it was awesome. Oh, they gave me a varsity letter because I played in a varsity game! heh, they said technically they weren't supposed to do stuff like that but technically the school doesn't really even fund lacrosse anyway. It's officially a club and not a sport at our school. So anyway. Everybody who played in any game this year got a letter, which was everybody:) Then I went to a party on top of the parking garage with Holly and Virginia and Kate, and then Lee and Samantha came. It was so much fun. Virginia and I were crazy...everybody was crazy. Holly drove craz(ily fun) around the round-about thingie about 30 times. Oh, and I was supposed to be grounded and not be allowed to go but I talked my mom out of it.
I went to graduation practice and got some hours for IB. W00t, I'd been a junior for about 25 hours and I started my stuff already! So that was cool. And our mission was accomplished: I am proud to report that there were Party Favors sightings all around! I got to talk to Dek a little, which was nice. Then later that day Susanna had to go get her dogs from the vet so she took me with her and we went to her house for a little while, then to mine. Time #2 I was supposed to be grounded and ended up doing crap anyway. Friday was the first day I was "officially" grounded, but oh well. So that, and then a bunch of cleaning later was my day.
I went to have a picture taken with however many people from my lacrosse team showed up for some fundraiser the cheerleaders were doing. For time #3 I was grounded but did something anyway, just this weekend, Holly and I were going to Ren Fest, and we finished the picture really early so I just sat and waited for a while and got to talking with this former cheerleader who was helping out at the event to get community service hours for something or other, and she mentioned that she was going to U.K. (read:University of Kentucy, sorry I think that was unclear last time I posted it), and I said, "Oh! There's this really hot senior guy comming there next year!" And she goes, "Oh, you mean Myke?" lol. I felt stupid. Apparantly they're good friends and he watches her dog when she goes out of town. So that was interesting. I gave her my email cause she was fun to talk to. Then we went to Ren fest and walked around for a while...the drive over was really fun and we listened to loud music and sang really loud and stuff. We got there and there were lots of pretty things to look at. We ran into Ben and Foster and other Ben and Mrs Joanie, who we talked with for a while. Also saw Nicole. I was thinking of getting a palm-reading thingie because they were $15, and normally I don't go for crap like that but I was bored and thinking that since I hadn't spent any other money there I might as well. So I was getting ready to order it, and the guy told me there were 3 different types and asked me which one I wanted. So I asked him which was $15 and he told me that these 2 of them were, so I ordered one of them and he goes, "Great! That'll be $20!" And I was like...but you just said it was $15! But he goes, no my boss took that sign off about an hour ago. Grr. Too bad I wasn't in a bitchy mood or I'd have chewed him out. But I held my tongue:) Oh, and the lemonade there was really good. very sugary but awesome.
has just made me so incredibly happy to be alive. Like today I almost broke down crying in Holly's car, because I was so glad that all that stuff that happened in December and January didn't go any further than it did. I was so glad that I got to just enjoy...everything...this is really uber-corny but life really is a gift, and I don't see how I could have taken it for granted before. And the other night on the parking garage, too. Every little thing the past few days seems to make me realize just how lucky, how blessed I am to continue breathing the free air. Which is ironic because on Thursday, leaving school, leaving Michael, I was so afraid that I was going to be miserable. But...look! I'm not! I miss him oodles, yes. But I'm fine-actually I'm great! And I realize now, that I had to go through those hard times to realize and be able to fully appreciate my life. And that reminds me that I can and will overcome anything. I've made it through so much already and I'm finally beginning to believe in myself again.
Umm...whee?
