So, I graduated a few days ago.
It pretty much rocked.
Not the graduation ceremony itself, because that was long, and boringish, and hot, i was surrounded by the dumb football players, and my poor boy got a nasty burn. but kaitlyn's speech was good, parts of rachel's were good, the rev was good, it was good overall. i got a nice sandal tan out of it, as well.
After graduation, I went out to dinner with Dan and our parents, and my granmda. that was good, but longer than i woulda wished, but still way good. dan's dad got themt o bring us a cake, wihch wsa pretty good, except i didn't eat ne, but athat's what i heard.
then we were off to our first party of the weekend. kristen's was fun, we didn't stay for very long, just long enough to go swimming for a while and chat it up. then we headed off to alicia's. i must say, i felt somewhat out of place, because the majority of the kids were band kids. and by majority, i mean, lik the way vast majority. but i eventually felt at peace being there. talked with recent seniors and college freshman, about whatever, hung out inside, lots o talking, then lots of bein gwyay tired. started to try to fall asleep, and then gwen started talkinga, dnn ti was hilarious. she talked for about an hour and then we all fell asleep. woek up around 8 or so, guess i got more sleep than i thouht. donuts and chilling and not leaving my sleeping bag except for having to pee. i unfortunately did not get any picutres of alicia's party because i left my camera in the car nd was way too lazy to go get it.
then dan dropped me off at homm, around 9, i think? and i watched theres somethign abotu mary, or a third of it, before going off to luke's party. that was a lot of fun, swimming and watchign croquet and volleball. water fights with the squishy balls equal lots of fun, even tho i cant actually hit anyone cuz i have no aim. didn't get a chance to play corquet, but i kinda wis i had. it as been a long long time since i've played that. and i had no desire to play volleball, but i took lots of pictures.
i'll continue my updatation of the last weekend 2moro. i'm way tired. its 12:19. i wanna be up by 9 2moro. gotta ge ta lot done in m room, and clean both me and my dad's cars, inside and out, all before work at 3. shall be fun. at least dan is coming over to assist me. then after work, goign out to dinner with some church kids and adults. that shoudl be a good time. (don't forget matt!)
gnite. (this was a few days ago)
finishing updatation...
so then after luke's, dan and i went to eric's for a little bit. I chilled on the grass while Dan went swimming. I was pretty much bored, but he was having a fun time, so it was all good. Then we went over to Jenna's where we talked witht he kids there for a bit. Then headed to Matt's.
I enjoyed Matt's a lot, probably because I didn't feel lke I didn't belong as much as I did at the other ones. I spent a long while talking withthe adults from my church, form everything form Matt's relationship with girls, to alcohol and rinking games, to college plans. I also spent a lot of time playing with Katie and Ryan, because they make me pretty happy. And playing iwth them is my excuse for why I didn't go to the gym that day.
But yeah, Matt's was fun. We left his to go back to Eric's for the fireworks his uncle was doing. They wer pretty good, for ones done at home. I'm not really a fan of fireworkds, don't like the noise and stuff, but they weren't bad. One went off near the groudn though, which was pretty scarey. After the fireworks, we went to Dan's house for some much needed relaxation time. i was sooo tired.
Then it was the next day. Went to church to take video for my dad. It was the saddest day ever. I was glad I was up in the balcony, because I definetly started crying, after getting the shawl Sue made for me and just watching my church celebrate. I'm gonna miss that place soo much. It's the only place, in Derry, that I feel safe and happy and myself. besides dan's hosue, but that doesn't count. I've grown up there, I'm known there, I'm respected there. I'm a role model there, an inspiration, a friend, an entertainment. I may be way goofy there,but it's my trademark, and it's respected. I love it, and whenever I'm home, I'll be going back. When church ended, I staye dup in the balcony for a while, and then went straight to the bathroom to wash myf ace. I didn't want to explain to anyone why I was crying.
After church, I went to PowerWok, where I met with Mel. It was good to have lunch with her. We catched up on what's going on in each toher's lives. She was intersted in what everyone from middle school was doing,a d how they are and stuff. It was good. Drove her home, then came home to have lunch again with som eold family friends who used to live next door. Pat gave me a toiletry bag, already full of everything I woudl need, along with some money tucked away in palces. It was good.
After lunch, Dan picked me up and we went to... Sara's party. Hung out for abit, then came back there to get my camera, then got some ice ream from petals and Cream, and then back to Sara's. From Sara's we went to Melinda's, and stayed a short while. Katie came too. Then we went to Connie's, which was way fun. I got completley drenched, what witt h rain, the watergun fights, and Dan Fleury soaking me with the hose. I did change, had some extra pants nand Dan had an extra shirt. The ice cream man came! My favorite part, it was the coolest thing ever, and he was the coolest ice cream man ever. He = My Idol. haha. but anyways, Connie's was good.
From Connie's, i took Dan's car over to Lisa's to visit everyone there and hang out for a bit. Then I went back to Connie's, and we stayed for a bit longer, then lft. I was way tired.
It was a good weekend. To see picutres, go here:
