Last night, a bunch of us went up to see Reel Big Fish in Boston. Out of seven people, four got in.
I was one of the unlucky three.
Needless to say, I was upset. This was supposed to be my birthday present from Chris. I hardly ever get to go to concerts. I was stuck in Boston, right across from friggin' Fenway, missing a RBF concert and a Yankees game. (My family went to the Bronx yesterday to see 'em, and of course, the Yankees won.)
Last year, for my birthday, I went an hour away (or so) to see a friend whom I'd never met before in an outdoor Shakespeare performance.
It got rained out.
So instead I went to this fancy mall thing and got candy. =/
I felt so damn miserable that day. I didn't do ANYTHING that day except go out to see my friend, which got canceled without our knowing. (We got out there and then found that it was off for that night.)
That day just plain-up sucked. Thankfully, the rest of being this age hasn't been as bad as the year before.
Anyway.
So last night I couldn't help but think that this was two years in a row messed up for me.
Chris, Addie, and I, the ones who didn't get in, wandered around Boston for a short while. Chris tried scoring more tickets, but obviously failed. Addie and I just meandered, found a bathroom, and then found Chris again.
We decided we'd try to find Fire and Ice. For those of you not in the know, Fire and Ice is a really cool restaurant. They have stations set up where you get raw food and veggies, and then you get sauce. You go over to the huge... hell, I want to call it a griddle, to have your food cooked. It's all you can eat, too. At the table they give you tortillas, rice, and tortilla chips. The restaurant itself is supposed to have a funky, artistic feeling to it. I personally think they try to hard, but whatever.
After some deliberation, we wanted to go to the commons. We didn't get there. We all had to use the bathroom, but didn't know where we could. Somebody in a T station said we could try a couple of different places. We ended up in a really cool book store. I wish I'd had more money and time. So many good books! I found an updated version of Bullfinch's Mythology, and it was large. We had to leave, though.
On the ride back, when we were connecting from the green line to the red line, we met up with one of Chris' old UU friends. I hadn't seen this guy since February '06. He's really cool, and his girlfriend's pretty awesome too, so we got to ride back to the train station we parked at with them.
It was hella foggy last night, so the drive home was a little dicey. I told Chris that he was low on gas, and he said that we'd make it home.
Not on that tank of gas, we didn't. We petered out a couple of miles from our exit. A state cop, a cranky one at that, helped us along. As well as Kevin.
We got home around two a.m.
Here I am today, home alone until Chris' parents get back.
Tomorrow's my birthday.

Ain't no cure for the summertime blues...
'Cept coming out to Massachusetts! :D
I'm sorry I haven't updated in a short while. Things have been going down.
I'm in MA right now. Chris is on the computer, playing WoW. I'm sitting here wondering if I should eat the piece of deep fried eggplant sitting in the Styrofoam container next to the keyboard. (We went out for Thai last night. ^^)
So... I'm trying to think. Lessee. Last Thursday, I threw up. I hardly ever do, thankfully. I have enough stomach problems for, I'd say, at least two people. I was a little shaky for the rest of the day, but still in high spirits. Friday I was well enough to travel to MA. :) I'm so thankful. We got here 'round 9 or something, and hung out 'til IHOP time. I do so love going to IHOP. I had coffee and a banana cheesecake chimichanga. Yum!
After IHOP we went to Kev's and hung out there for the night. I went to sleep ... hell... after five? And Derek wanted us up for 10. Well, we left after ten. (Chris was being slow, though.) Derek took us out to his tiny little town. We stopped at a Honey Dew for coffee. Now, I shouldn't be having coffee in the morning because it upsets my tummy too much, but I threw caution into the wind and had a frozen coffee. We went to a book fair, and I got six books for $7.50. Some of the books are the complete works of Poe, The Scarlet Letter (which for some reason I can't underline), a book of three Greek plays, and more.
Once we were satisfied with our findings, we stopped by a nice little grocery store in town and picked up some chocolate and walnuts. Back at Derek's, we had chocolate and walnut fondue. My stomach was too upset by then for me to enjoy a lot of it, but I still had some. I was happy.
We read, we had fondue, and just generally chilled out. Later, we went to Nick's. I read and took a nap while the guys played some craaaaazy long board game based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft. I went on the computer and rested. (My stomach was still somewhat angry.) It looked as though we might go to Kev's or Bil's, but Chris just wanted to go home. He had work at seven a.m. on Sunday.
I slept soundly until he came back home. Then we napped for a few hours.
Damnit, I'm too distracted. I'll edit this post or something.

Simple pleasures.
I enjoy a nice fresh towel. Preferably my fish towel. I love coming out of the shower to dry my face off with a clean towel. I don't quite like the idea after I've used it once already. I got to shower this evening and it felt marvelous to dry my face off.
I wish people'd slow down and enjoy simple things more. Really, I find myself more satisfied and amused (in my personal life) because I'm not shooting ridiculously high in this case. A good CD and untimed shower (I normally time myself, but now I don't have to.) is fantastic in itself, and to dry off with a fresh towel is all the better. Damn, I don't need an iPhone or a car to be happy. I don't need to keep with the latest trends. I don't constantly need new clothes. I'm damn fine with the bare necessities.
Speaking of shooting ridiculously high, though, I was in the local newspaper again today, as you can see to your upper left. I edited things so you crazy bastards won't stalk me. :) It doesn't list me as valedictorian. I think at the time that I filled out the information, I didn't know.
A nice segue. I has a link for y'all, a treat for sure. I do, however, suggest that you turn up the volume of your speakers. :) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4662557844467951294
This is me giving my valedictory at graduation. I was one of two to graduate with high honors. I then proceeded to accidentally forget my diploma at the school where graduation was held. *sigh* Go me.
My birthday is this month! On the 20th! Woo! On the 18th I'm going to see Reel Big Fish and Less than Jake. On the 25th, I'm going to see The Cat Empire. (And in the future, on August 25th, I'm going to see The Aquabats!)
Ah summer, I do so love you.
Oh man! I got to see some of my extended family today. My dad's cousin and the cousin's aunt. They hadn't seen me in years, so it was strange for them, I guess to see me more than five feet tall and without braces. They were asking me about college and whatnot. Oh! Chris also got to see my Poppa's condo, finally. There are plenty of pictures of me from when I was little. Lots of baby fat, if you can believe it. That melted away right quick.
OK, so, my mind has wandered enough.
If you make any jokes about my name, I will find my own way to mock the hell out of you.

A good way to start the day.
Howdy! It's been a week since I've updated, hasn't it? Sheez.
Well, first the main reason why I'm posting this. I do so enjoy making new friends first thing in the morning. It's when I can talk to my Australian friends. :D But really, to wake up to find a new message is fun. Really, there was more to this thought, originally, but I've forgotten. I'll take this time to plug my buddy Krymzen's blog! dimension-zer0.blogspot.com
Now! For all of the end-of-the-year stuff. Thursday was the only full day of finals I have. English and French. Pretty easy. I got an 89 on my French final. Strange for me, but I don't care. I pass. Friday I had my chem. II final, which was also fairly easy. Our teacher just gave us the exam that the city requires. Fine by me.
Tomorrow I have my creative writing "final". My real creative writing final was my senior thesis presentation. I got a 100 on it. I got a 95 on the paper. *claps dust off of hands* I'm pretty awesome. So tomorrow for the final, we're working on our graduation pieces. At graduation, every art department gets up and does something. Band kids play music, chorus sings, writers read poems, etc. We need to finish writing them, then we're gonna rehearse it. Somebody in the class suggested we do it by height, in which case I'd go last. Yay me at 5'3".
Tuesday I go in at 7:30 and come out at 9:30. Accounting final. It'll go by. I don't guarantee that I'll remember everything. I should bring the book home and skim.
After finals, we aren't required to go in. They aren't taking attendance, and we're encouraged to stay home. Wednesday, June 20th, is my two year anniversary with Chris. He can't come down. I'm staying home from school. Thursday I'm going in, but I have graduation rehearsal from 11:30 to 1:30. I'm gonna work on my 'zine and see if I can get that finished.
OK, y'know what? Lemme just put a schedule.
6/18/07 - Writing final from 9:30 to 11:30.
6/19/07 - Accounting final from 7:30 to 9:30.
6/20/07 - Two year anniversary with Chris. Staying home.
6/21/07 - Going in to work on 'zine, graduation rehearsal from 11:30 to 1:30. Graduation party at 6. Chris coming down.
6/22/07 - Graduation rehearsal 11:30 to 1:30.
6/23 or 6/24 - Chris leaves.
6/25/07 - Senior awards breakfast. (Gonna get my yearbook!)
6/26/07 - Graduation!
6/27/07 - Going back to MA with Chris.
6/28/07 to 6/29/07 - Orientation at UMass.
6/30/07 Graduation party.
I'm busy for a while. Things with Chris aren't entirely ironed out to me. I need to fix that.
So yeah. That's that.
Chris is probably going to record my valedictory using my digital video camera. We'll put it up on teh internets for everyone to see.
I'm gonna go swordfight or something.

Youth convention.
Howdy!
I went to a Unitarian Universalist (www.uua.org, check it oot.) youth conference over the weekend, for the first time (in this district) in about a year and a half. I got to see old friends, make new ones, and memories were flying all around. New memories, too, such as me being "Witchy McGee". (Trust me, it's not as mean as it sounds.)
I want to write a poem about being curled up under a potted tree in a corner of a hallway. I thought it was a bodhi tree, but after trying to find pictures of one online, I'm gonna say that this was not a bodhi tree. Still... I'd call it one for the fact that I tried meditating under it.
I'm actually gonna go take a shower, then burn some incense. I may or may not meditate, I'm not sure. It's so hard to do! It's not like I do it for long. I just don't find my spiritual center very often, but when I do, I'm very peaceful. I'm just not religious, but I'm willing to try.
In college, I'm going to try to go to church more.
OK, I'm past my goal of showering at eight o'clock.

Moving right along.
Howdy. Today I'm supposed to be looking like I'm working because we're having some visitors from different districts. *shrug* They'll probably want to talk to me 'cause I'm valley D. They'll probably ask me how I feel about my education here. *sniggle* What a crock.
I just wanna play games or something. Or talk with my two buddies back here. One is doing some math testing, the other is doing a performance in the library.
Last night I was grabbing myself a snack for today, when I saw muffins. I asked my mom what kind they were, and she said she thought they were apple. That sounded wonderful! Appley muffins are pleasant. Well, I took a bite out of it last period, and it turns out that it's carrot. =/ I like carrot muffins, don't get me wrong, but when I looked in to see a bunch of strips of orange, I was slightly disappointed.
Speaking of disappointment! I've been trying to load Yohoho Puzzle Pirates onto this computer, or just computers here in general, but I need an administrative password to load java. Without java, I can't run YPP. I've been addicted to this game for a couple of weeks. You're a pirate, and you do pirate-y things like bilge, carpent, sail, swordfight, and pillage. When you do all of this, though, you're playing puzzles! Like... bilging is a swapping game. (Swap pieces horizontally to make combinations of three or more.) Carpenting involves getting differently shaped pieces of wood to patch holes in the ship. So on and so fourth. It's free, too! (If I do it online, it's most likely free.) If you're interested, go to www.puzzlepirates.com and sign up. I live in Shackra on Sayer's Rock in the Hunter Ocean. ;)
In other news, I'm still upset about the state of one of my classes. It's a seniors honors class, but the kids still act like freshman. Hardly ANYONE in that class is ready for college. I'd say roughly a fourth is ready.
I forgot to spray my jeans this morning. I don't know why, but they've just been stinky since the last time I wore 'em to Chris'. They still fit OK, so I'm not giving up on 'em, but they smell. (They've been washed, too. I'm a slight freak about wearing fresh clothes.) I wanted to spray 'em with some spritz before I left the house today, but I didn't get the chance to. Oh well.
I wish I could check facebook in school. I know I can't, there's no good reason to, but I have e-mails from facebook that I want to check. *sigh*
I have a driving lesson after school. (Actually at 2. I get out at 2:15.) I have to make sure that everything's OK with that.
Need. Sleep. I don't even know what I'm doing next period.
At least I know I don't have homework tonight. We're gonna be watching "V for Vendetta" in English, and we're taking a trip tomorrow for chemistry that will go from 9:50 (I think) 'til the end of the day. I have an easy day tomorrow. I'm actually wondering whether I need to bring in my stuff! (I can weasel my way into doing some layout work for Mr. Banack.) Shoot... I think I'll just bring a sandwich tomorrow. If we go to the café, I can get a drink. Yep... just a sammich. Oh God, will I have anything to make one with?
Ha, I just finished my accounting project. :D I just gotta hand it in today and I'll goof off for the rest of the time. (Five class days.) Yeehaw.
Alright, I gotta get going. Let's hope I don't fall asleep in chem.

Quickly, for I have been lazy.
Prom was fun, simply put. I didn't like the music selection, but that's natural. But it was fun to act like a complete moron in a dress. Guilty pleasure, perhaps? Like, I wanted to smack my face into a plate of butter. I almost fought Chris for a piece of bread. Silly things like that.
We went to a diner afterward. It was fun. I had jell-o. Chris and I sang. (Mostly Chris.) The waitress said it was like he earned his food. I'd say our waitress was pretty cool for talking to us. Then again, it was like, midnight. Business isn't terribly quick.
After, Chris and I brought two of my friends back to their houses. As it'd turn out, they live pretty close to each other, which I think is pretty cool. I love both of them to death, so I'm glad Chris and I could take them along.
My corsage problem was fixed. We got an emergency one. Unfortunately, the rose petals just kept on coming off. So sad. But at least there were rose petals all over the dance floor. :D
OK, I need to eat some breakfast. Prom pictures will be up whenever I get the camera developed, and the pictures scanned.

I can't believe this.
Chris forgot to bring my corsage.
I try not to swear in this thing, but what the fuck.
I'm trying not to get too angry, but I am very, very angry right now.
How do you do that? I know he was late, but it's my corsage. It's almost held holy in the prom tradition.
I can't believe this.
I know he feels bad, but oh my God.
I guess we're trying to arrange an emergency one.

Off to see The Wizard.
My weekend at Chris' was pretty wonderful.
On Saturday evening, Chris, myself and a couple of our friends walked over to the 7-11. On the way back to our friend's apartment, we were walking up the street that comes out to the apartment. It was night time, and it was glowing right in front of us.
Now, I'm sure any "Wizard of Oz" fan would yell at me for this, but pardon me, I've never seen the movie. From left to right, walking, it was the friend who owns the apartment, me, Chris, and another friend of ours. Tin man, Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Lion.
Tin man, as I'll refer to him, has been in a precarious situation with the woman he loves. He could use some love right now, but it doesn't readily seem like he'll get it.
I'm dying to go home. By home I mean out Chris' way. This town that I'm in now does not feel like home. When I'm out at Chris', it just feels so natural. Here I guess I'm a square peg in a round hole.
Chris is definitely the scarecrow. He could use some brains now and then. :) But! He did pass his classes, though we haven't heard about the Calc. III class grade yet. So he could be worse off, but he could still be much better.
Lion. Well, he doesn't need courage, really. He just looked like the lion when he still had hair.
Chris cut his hair. His friend shaved, and is continuing to shave his head. So strange! When I saw Chris' hair, I cried. Really.
Pardon me for a few ticks, I gotta work on cleaning the tub.
God, forget bath tubs.

Now, I'm sure any "Wizard of Oz" fan would yell at me for this, but pardon me, I've never seen the movie. From left to right, walking, it was the friend who owns the apartment, me, Chris, and another friend of ours. Tin man, Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Lion.
Tin man, as I'll refer to him, has been in a precarious situation with the woman he loves. He could use some love right now, but it doesn't readily seem like he'll get it.
I'm dying to go home. By home I mean out Chris' way. This town that I'm in now does not feel like home. When I'm out at Chris', it just feels so natural. Here I guess I'm a square peg in a round hole.
Chris is definitely the scarecrow. He could use some brains now and then. :) But! He did pass his classes, though we haven't heard about the Calc. III class grade yet. So he could be worse off, but he could still be much better.
Lion. Well, he doesn't need courage, really. He just looked like the lion when he still had hair.
Chris cut his hair. His friend shaved, and is continuing to shave his head. So strange! When I saw Chris' hair, I cried. Really.
Pardon me for a few ticks, I gotta work on cleaning the tub.
God, forget bath tubs.

Officially.
This morning, my school's principal announced that I am officially the Valedictorian for the class of 2007, and aqua Ab is the salutatorian.
I've worked hard and I think I can finally say I'm proud of myself for this accomplishment. This is what I get for a lack of a proper social life all these years.
I would like to go to my home district and say, "Hey, what now?", but in comparison to their curriculum and whatnot, I'm nothing special. *sigh* Different standards.
My speech shall be kept under wraps for now, methinks. I have a couple of ideas that I think I'll touch on.
Today in my English class we were reading an essay by George Orwell about how over-complicated the English language has become. I can't help but agree with him. People want to sound smarter than they really are these days. I find myself in this situation from time to time too. At the same time, I would like to expand my vocabulary responsibly. I think today's lesson foreshadows what I must write. I need to keep it simple. I forget who said it, but wisdom may only be eloquent foolishness.
I have quite the day ahead of me.
Let me prep by playing pyramid solitaire.
