[#071] Just realized I should've totally done a week in my life
These past two weeks would've been perfect! Two major things occurred since I last posted~
i. Went on that trip to Philly with parents for PD's graduation weekend extravaganza thingamajigor. lol (how the fuck is that spelled?) It was, without a doubt, long. I cannot tell you how many times I wished I wasn't there. First day: her school's (Liberal Arts and Sciences) graduation ceremony. AKA the day when all their names were called. Guys, LA&S is the largest school they have. We sat for about an hour and then some just waiting for all the names to finish being called. Snoozefest. Before that though, there was a "luncheon." It was essentially a handful of students and their families eating pizza. No seats, no nothing. Uber ghetto. lol Anyway, after the ceremony, there was a reception. Yum. Hor d'oeuvres. *________* We practically stuffed ourselves silly just on those snacks, it was brilliant. We stayed there for so long though and because I'd used up all my battery power during the graduation, I was just bored standing around as everyone one else smoozed and whatever. ZZZZZ. Dinner was this Asian fusion place that was uber pricy. o.o I made sure to choose something relatively cheap since PD's dad was paying for the entire thing. My parents even split a dish. lol We would feel terrible if we spent too much. XD
Saturday, we did a little sightseeing--just the Liberty Bell and the area around Independence Hall since my dad plus PD's two grandmas hadn't seen it. (let me add a side note that one of PD's grandmas was a little... um, crabby. She was so hard to talk to, honestly.) Blahblah, luckily we managed to miss the rain until we were LEAVING, funnily enough. For lunch we went to Geno's for a Philly Cheesesteak. Is it wrong that I'm just not impressed? There was a mass that we attended afterwards (PD's school is ...Catholic? I can't remember and too lazy to look it up.) and for dinner we had pretty decent Chinese food. And then that evening, we helped PD pack out of her apartment. Yes, I did work. Ugh. But she did give a BUNCH of stuff to my family since she didn't want to take it to CA (or rather the effort to take it to CA was just too much). The only upside, lol.
Sunday was the actual graduation ceremony. Or rather I should say the cumulative graduation ceremony where thankfully, they didn't go by names. Luckily, the rain had mildly stopped during the ceremony but my parents/I were mainly relegated to the room with the telecast. So boring. I basically did NOT pay attention during the entire procession and played on my phone the entire time. After though, I gained major karmic points when I helped out this deaf lady find her daughter in the HUGE FOOTBALL STADIUM. Still don't know how it happened, but I did. And then slipped away. XDDDD Um. After that, BBQ with lots of white ppl (and PD and my mom trying to make me talk to some random guy for money) and then helping PD pack more and then us packing our van up because we made out like bandits. And yes.
All in all, just like these three paragraphs, BOREDOM. ://///
ii. Then last Saturday! Rapture-day! I spent it with C, cynicalism and anamuan. As well as a little meet-up with jeneralize. BRILLIANT. *_____________* There was just loads of fun times, takoyaki, pan-ya, threats of rain (and then not), jokes, alcohol, Sex and the City, $1 flip-flops, a kettle necklace. ALL IN ALL BRILLIANCE. :DDDDDD (we joked about getting taken by raptor on rapture day. LOL)
iii. I discovered a new Johnny's BFF: TOKIO's Matsuoka. After watching two of his guest appearances, (and I hadn't known this) I was introduced to his UTTER LOVE to Sakamoto. Which, omg, GOOD TASTE. *________________* Shabekuri007, Arashi ni Shiyagare (his guest appearances). He apparently thinks Sakamoto is the perfect Johnny's in that he's amazing at everything he does: in particular, acting, dancing, and singing. *_____________* He and I are totally in agreement. I think I am going to actually add this to my Day Zero list: SEE SAKAMOTO IN ACTION LIVE. *_____________* I would probably be able to DIE right after and feel absolutely fulfilled. lolol on a random side note, I have been having dreams with Sakamoto lately, LOL. It's fabulous. On another note, you should all watch those appearances because Matsuoka is HYSTERICAL. A+++++++
