SBC Graduation, Sisterly Love, and RICA!!!
So eye went. Watched them walk. Smoked a bowl and a dubbie. And we went to the lake. Yes, eye broke the thirty days. But eye didn't do it alone. Just giving myself excuses really.
Saturday, eye woke up bright and early. Gathered the things my mom wanted my sister to have and jumped on the road. Trip down was a breeze. Made it to sweetieville in no time. Met up with Jen and Rhee. Felt awk to hug and communicate. Eye knew B was going to give me the cold shoulder and eye couldn't quite get past her to remember everyone else who was walking.
We sat in the bell tower. Which was the right distance to the grads. Debated saying hello to the ladies standing in line. They looked a bit more grown up then eye remembered last and my confidence with my tongue had been shaken. Victoria called out my name. :} Went over and hugged her. She pointed me in B's direction. The gyrl turned around and tried to act like she didn't want me to see her. Eye hesitated but then she said something smart and eye hugged her anyway. What does my mom always say? Don't let other people's stupidity change who you are and how you react. That is the only way you won't have any regrets. So eye said my two-cent congrats and turned to walk away. A few paces, Julie called my name. :} Hugged her and congratulated her. Wishing the card eye had brought didn't have B's name on it and maybe Julie's instead. (Hey, eye am only human.) And then eye spotted Danielle B and Adrienne Arnold! How kewl! They were getting their masters in teaching. *shrug* Who knew? :} It was good to chat it up with Danielle and meet her new man. Reminded me of the good times.
Perched in the bell tower to watch the entire event. The professors looked relieved. Miss Manners as the speaker. None to impressed with her 1920's version of how women should behave. *shrug* The bill-paying parents were. They seemed a bit rich-bitch style; as eye remember their daughters being that way also. Wasn't too moved by the student speeches either. All textbook and no heart. It was nice to sit in the tower with Elise, Jen, Rina, and a couple of freshman 04's.
Instead of mingling, took off with Holly (degree anticipated), Rhee, and Jen. Passed a bowl and a philly. Did the loop for maybe the last time in a long time. Got so high it hurt to look at people! :}
Back at Sweetieville, skipped out on the social interaction and got in my car. Sister wasn't ready for me yet and neither was Rica so eye went to Sonic instead. Mmmmm! Came back to Sweetieville with intentions to go read at the lake.
JEN! Yeah! Dumped her stuff in her car and went to ride our high at the lake. GORGEOUS!! That's what eye love about that campus. Sat and watched the mini whee-turtles and the dragonflies fuck in mid air. Talked about the times we jumped in the lake nude and about Rica and all the good things we loved about the place. Eye truly do feel like my formal ties to the place are all done and over with. My sister will be leaving the 'burg this year. The only time eye will visit will be of my own accord and with my own agenda. How fabulous, yet almost dissatisfying. *shrug*
Went to my sister's dorm and chilled with her for a while. Watched House and generally enjoyed each other's presence. Can't wait to see her in june. So sad that eye will have to leave her after a week. maybe eye will send for her. Binks could come out to visit me in San Diego! :}
Anyway, the evening wore on and she had to go wo-man the ticket booth at her last Glass production. Eye fell asleep and awaited Rica's call. Met up with Rica around 10ish. Went to the bar under Shads. Damn 'tender was having a rough night but we ended up walking out of their slightly tipsy but with our wallets still heavy (drinks on the house and no tip!). Went to the Dahlia. Little dive bar where the dykes from RandyMac seem to frequent. It was empty when we got there. Her gyrl showed up a bit later. Julia is nice enough. She seemed distracted and tense. But so was eye. Admittedly, not what eye expected. Thicker and not very touchy feely. Eye was very glad to see them kiss and hold hands as the night wore on. *shrug* Eye would be a better match for Rica. But it is her life to lead. (Broke my 30 days yet again. But not to my usual drunken stupor...)
Early morning tipsy phone call to Kara. Crawled into my sleeping bag atop my ever more appreciated blow-up bed.
Thunder and lightening woke me up this morning. Really wanted to wake my sister to go play in it. The whole house shook every few minutes! It was quite amazing. Lazed around; listened to her talk on the phone with her friends and type her senior memories for a class project. Took her out food shopping and mother's day present shopping. Nice to be sisters and sometimes very demanding. She thanked me for coming as eye left. Glad the connection is there.
It strange how dependent our lives are on timing- being in the right place at the very right time with the right people. Eye missed out on a few of those timing events with my old professors. Esply feel guilty about Professor Robeva. But at that moment, eye didn't want to be there. Eye will send her an email.
Okay, enough psycho babble.
Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful mothers!
Looking toward the future. Durham/Raleigh next weekend. Let the good times roll!
