I'm still here, I'm still passing for straight, get used to it.
So so so so so. Livejournal, my old friend and nemesis. How the hell have you been? A shout out to all my peeps who are reading this. Not really. I just had a gangster moment there. I suppose if you really want a shout out, you can get up and shout out "Kevin Rocks" or something. But, hey it's up to you.
Wow, I know I say this every time, but it's been awhile since I've done this. I don't really know what I want to write about tonight, but all of a sudden I got the feeling that I wanted to write something, to create. It's been awhile since I've actually used my brain, and I want to make sure that it's still functioning.
So, lets start with the basics. That whole graduation thing. SEriously, if you haven't talked to me about this already, you probably don't care. and I don't really blame you. It was hot and boring, and nothing to write home about (LJ is a different story). I'm graduated now and that's yeah. I guess the perfect word for it is bittersweet, but I don't really want to focus on that. Maybe later I'll talk about that, but if I'm gonna get serious in this post, it's not gonna be right now, cause I think I have a lot to say, but I'm not really sure. I'll probably just ramble on like I usually do. Like I'm doing now actually.
I'm gonna walk you through my week, as uneventful and boring as it is, but you're the ones silly enough to read it... so there.
Let's see. Monday. Holy crap, that was so damn long ago. Okay, so my parents were home on Monday, which means not much fun for me, but that's how it goes. Oh wait. I remember now. WE got The Band together, sorta. (Side note: I was informed that "The Band" was taken by Bob Dylan's band... I would call him a bastard, but he's freaking Bob Dylan, so I can't verywell do that. We're thinking of becomeing the Catholic Band, or CB's or Seabees....) Joel was late, and then had to leave early, that son of a bitch. And we dont' really play either, cause we all suck, but hey, It's Joel, Crupi, and I.... It's garunteed to be a good time. So after I played American Pie and Crupi and Joel sang, we started watching Donnie Darko. Joel left halfway through, because he is stupid and has to work all the time (personally, I'm not gonna start working a lot till June 10th. BIG HINT.... I'M FREE.... AND BORED..... HINT HINT!!!!) Anyway, I'm glad to say that Dan is now fully addicted to Donnie Darko, and basically obsessed with trying to figure it out. Oh how I love corrupting the young. AFter that I came home for a little while, at which point, I got a call from Andrew Smith, telling me my old friend Mitch Bennet was back in town. So we got a bunch of us guys together, including Swope, who I am now pretty good friends with again (YAY) and we played Halo. That was a lot of fun. I haven't hung out with the guys in a long damn time. I could say more, but this is gonna be a long post as it is, so I won't.
Tuesday. Tuesday I started work on my Thank You notes. Those were, in the simplest of terms, a bitch. On the plus side, I'm now up to around 1800 dollars graduation money, which is incredibly nice. While doing my Thank you notes I watched Wayne's World (Party on Wayne, and PArty on Garth), Reservior Dogs (like a Virgin, oh Tarentino, how your dialouge slays me), and half of the Producers (the new musical version, which I am quite obsessed with). I only watched half, because I was again called by Randy to hang with Mitch. More Halo ensued, more having fun. I then returned home and completed my romp with the Producers.
Wendsday. I got up kinda early on Wendsday, but I don't really remember why... oh well. On Wendsday I watched a few of the songs on the Producers again (obesessed) and watched the deleted scenes, which were of course hilarious. I then watched A Knight's Tale, which I have not seen in a long long time, and enjoyed quite throughly. Now out of movies, but with Thank you Notes still to write (I can't do them without ample distraction, twould be the death of me), I headed off to the videostore to rent more entertainment. I settled on Mars Attacks, The Island, Harold and Kumar, and Mallrats. I popped in Mallrats and worked some more on my thank you notes, then headed over to Swopes to hang out again. This time it sucked though, cause everyone was playing games without me, so I just sat and watched, and I left early cause Mitch was being kinda an asshole, like he can get a lot of the time. SO I came home and watched half of Mars ATtacks (which was as bad as I remebered. I wanted to give it a second chance cause of the all-star cast and Tim Burton, but it was just a disappointment) and finished my Thank you notes FINALLY!
Thursday, I agian got up early, because I realized that I had been wasting summer sleeping till 11:00. Seeing as my mom comes home for lunch at 1 and then for good at like 3, and I love my non-supervision time, I need to wake up early. SO I addressed all my thank you notes. THis being done, it was time to spend my hard earned money. I went out and bought myself a PS2 and Guitar Hero. I have been rocking out ever since. I'm not kidding. I play this almost constantly, it is quite sad. My fingers hurt and my wrist aches from all the shredding I have been doing. BUt I'm having fun, and it's not liek my phone is ringing off the hook with better things to do. And don't give me this "Why dont' you try calling people" Crap, cause I tried a lot today... but that's for the next paragraph, we're still on Thursday people. Jeez. Stop trying to jump ahead. So, We had a family friend and my uncle come over to eat because they missed my grad party. That was nice, but I'm not much of an entertainer or coversationalist, so it was kinda boring. At 7 there was an OFfice marathon, which I watched, until Crupi came over, at which point we went to his house to pick up his GUitar HEro controller (which he forgot), so we could play two player. On the way to his house we talked about Donnie DArko, cause liek I said, Crup is obsessed. Which is a good thing. Then we came back to my house and played Guitar Hero for a rediculously long time, and Crupi ended up spending the night, along with Beth Simons. So Crup, Beth, Molly and I, all slept in the living room (a little weird? YEah... kinda. But whatev.)
Friday, today. WEll, it was today, now it's not. Lots of Guitar Hero. Crup and Beth left early in the morning, and I basically played from 10 till 6, taking three or four hour long breaks, cause I get tired from rawking so hard. Then around 6:30, my parents and little sisters left for Chicago to go to a baby shower, which leaves Molly and I home alone (SWEET!!!). Molly had to babysit, so I had the house to myself. SO I ordered a pizza, pigged out, and watched my other two movies. Harold and Kumar was funny, but not near as funny as everyone says it is. The Island. I could write a really good review of that movie, pointing out everything tat sucked about it. BAsically, Ewan McGreggor and Scarlette Johannson don't belong in an action movie. This is the fist and last tiem I'm giving a Micheal Bay movie a shot. I never wanted to see Pearl Harbor, and after this piece of shit, it will be hard to get me to go to anything with his name attached.
If you want to know more about my feelings toward this movie, we can talk about it, because now that I've told you all this stuff, we're not really gonna have much to talk about are we? Isn't that sad? But I've tiped so much of it out, twould be a shame not to post it. Should I keep going? I think I will. I'm not tired, and if you're not tired of reading, well then... that's a combination for success right there.
I realized a couple nights ago that I love God. I don't really want to go into a whole post about who or what I feel God is, or how He is important to me, but I do want to talk about this revelation, cause it was pretty powerful. Before a couple weeks ago, I always knew that GOd loved me, but I guess I never realized that I didn't really love him back. like I was kinda buddy-buddy with God, but all of a sudden I just realized it. I was praying, a habit I recently picked up, just thanking Him for my life, and asking for his help. Nothing to fancy, just simple, and then I realized that I love God. I thanked Him for all he's given me and done for me, and I told Him that I love Him. It was astounding. It's like actually being in love. That kinda unconditional love where you're accepted just as you are. The kind in the movies between the old married couples. It was really major for me. I guess I'm not an incredibly religious guy, but I do have a lot of faith, and a lot that I believe in. Someday, I'll do up a proper post about GOd, but I just wanted to share this experience with you all.
Monday I go to Loras for Orientation and Registration. I also get my laptop! It's quite bittersweet... but I don't really want to get into that either right now. I've written enough now, even if most of it is insubstantial. Maybe I'll get to some better stuff tomorrow night, seeing as my parents aren't home, and I can stay up late. THat's when my best posts come out. Anyway, the whole reason I brought up going to Loras is tha tI have to take a Biology placement exam at 7 15 in the morning. And guess what used-to-be-Sophomores, even though I should, I'M NOT GONNA STUDY FOR IT. So ha.
Well, I can't really believe that you read all that. Hopefully you read something that at least made you smile. I know I usually smile wehn I think About me. I'm just that kind of a classy guy. And possibly a little full of myself. Oh well.
