"here we are again...but this year we're seniors. and we're gunna ruuuule the schooool ha ha ha"
---yeahhh grease. what.
updating. and this entry will be coherent (or it should be). no substances involved. whaaat.
first off, i now have a myspace, which is just rad. and a new screenname: get your mag on. so lets not lie, im way more computer savvy than before. all except thats such a lie.
so junior year. happened. i was told by a few different people that you kind of find yourself the summer before junior year. and thats damn true. everyone gets cooler. if i learned one thing junior year, it was about BALANCE. "life is a great balancing act" (--Dr Seuss whaddup) and junior year teaches you how to live like that. and props to sam, maria, and sarah, foreach doing their ownthang and helping me through. i think the highlight was the 2 weeks where i legit didnt change my clothes. oh and the best thing is that it never ends. there is never an end in sight to the stress. but its really unifying. so its nice in that way. see, balance of good and bad. woot woot recurring themes.
i decided earlier today if i had to sum up the summer in one word it would be DALE. if danielle and i ever grace your presence wiht the "dale don dale" dance, just know you are witnessing greatness (dont worry, it will be pretty obvious). so we did that dance many a time. and dale means go, which is meaningful i think. corny i know, but i get it.
allie and iagree that all the drama this summer could make a fab season of laguna beach newton, although that blatantly can't be the title.but ive come out pretty unharmed by all that drama-y drama.
also, my tolerance has notably skyrocketed. heres to two months worth of 7 day weekends =D
so i worked at coldstone. i htought it was going to be hte bees knees. turned out it wasnt, but i met some wicked cool people, and we had 4 fun days (day with the water when i fell in love with chris, day with the boxes aka tom and amy's last day, day when i freestyled, day when we had no power). i sent 2 people to jp licks (small personal victory), almost got fired, and legit should have been fired but a woman and luck saved me. also i didnt eat much ice cream.
i met a lot of good people. or actually got to know a lot of good people better. which legit was/is amazing. i dont think ive ever, even at the beginning of high school, met so many people that i love having in my life before.im saying met but i really mean 'got to actually know'. some people slipped away a little, but ill fix it because i dont have time to let it mend itself together again. this is it, really. and people left; dynamics have changed. i made 2 brief reconnections with people, one of which im worried about it not staying, the other i really cant explain but i know it needs to happen so we can be closer (again)later. i just hope that we get a later, you know. actually both just make me sad. but whatever.
and on the theme of dale, someone went, and passed on. it doenst need to be written about. but my god, that sends things in a different direction. tess sang at the aida cabaret the song "no one but you(only the good die young)" and i never got to tell her, but it was so moving. and then it became so meaningful. my favorite line "they're only flyin' too close to the sun". random yeah. but im just rambling here.
i daled myself out of the club =D when we had that awesome thunderstorm.
my fave holiday, the 4th of july, was differnet and awesome. shout out to that angel of a woman who gave us newports when we didnt even ask =)
i really cant go through and list all the highlights or whatever. the summer passed by so quick (dale dale dale) but it was so jam packed and the end of junior year feels like ages ago. legit so much happened.
this is weird, but i feel like im ready to have it be just our class. because it has to be. its something i need to accept and embrace.
agian, the people and the times. (not necessarily the good times. not necessarily certain select people)
songs of this summer are caress me down, dale don dale, our house, black and white, and hte music of my spade-tacular coldstone friends. also lets get it on. and kind of the chamelon song.
last year elliot said, after such a good day, "i feel like ive waited my whole life to be a junior". we all agreed. and now i realized taht it was because i could never even imagine being a senior. and we were just talking now andshe made another point, that junior year is the "golden year", because of all the new crazy (good and bad) shit thats happening. and youre still free. youre not tied down to your future. but senior year is final. and thats why i was so scared, so scared i was physically sick, of becoming a junior. because it was my last year before my last year. my last year not having to be a senior. where everything didnt directly mean something. and holy shit, all that starts tomorrow.
gabby and i were talking, and the piece of advice that stuck out to me the most was "and most of all, wave to the freshmen in the musical in the hallways". i remember what it feels like to be a freshman. i refuse to believe right now that im dan and jenna and kim and david and julias age. im just not.
i miss the girls at dance. i dunno what being senior grads feels like, i havent looked for or recognized the vibe yet. but i miss miss miss the girls.
ive kinda realized that the world is in perpetual change. so maybe all this isnt so bad? and not as big as it looks. even though were pretty up close now, and it still looks fucking huge.
im learning to take more risks (ooh theatre terms). im excited for the senior bond. and the feeling that no one can touch you. i hope the majority of people acutally are over themselves.
haha, i have no idea what the fuck this entry is.
ill stop here, we all need to dale on sometime yes (its been over an hour)
i dont like drinking to toasts of senior year, because i dont want it to be my peak. so i do 'to the rest of our lives' dramatically, or 'to ben o's house' hilariously. =P
alright. prosperity out fuckers.
ooh and one more thing. i dont listen to bane, lets not lie, but a lyric of thiers is just amazing and needs to be shared:
"make the most of these days while they are unfolding. keep right on dancing while the curtain is closing"
i'll definetly drink to that.
