| Took the AP Microeconomics exam a few Thursdays ago. That was a complete waste of $76.
The Friday before last Friday, I talked to Bess for about an hour about her tragic relationship with BFF Baily and she did the freaking-out-crying thing and it made me sad. So I reserved Baily for a few hours and literally brought them to my house and we attempted some small talk for a few minutes. It failed miserably so I claimed I had to pee and awkwardly left them in the room for two and a half hours. No joke. I took a nap waiting on them to fight/talk things through. At least they got into the first steps of fixing things, I guess. Bess had to leave, so Baily and I hung around a bit. We went and picked Will up and came back to my place for another pancake dinner. Dropped him off around midnight. Baily and I came back here and she decided to spend the night with me since nobody was home. We made a bad decision and chose to watch "White Noise" at like four in the morning while we were still home alone. We are pretty much the biggest wimps in the whole entire world. The movie itself was terrible, but the jumpy parts did make us scream obscenities. She accidentally kicked the crap out of me haha. Gained a lovely bruise. That's some extreme horror movie watching.
Last Saturday: Went to Gwinnett with my mom to shop for a graduation dress and shoes. Met up with Eddie and had a Mother's Day dinner at Chili's. Went back to my dad's with Ed so I could hang out with my stepmom. Too bad she didn't get home from work until midnight. I spent the night and the room I stayed in had like three computers in there and I got creeped out thinking about "White Noise" so I ended up crashing in the living room lol. Wusssss.
Last Sunday: Woke up to a delicious Mother's Day brunch cooked up by good old dad. I really miss his cooking. Ed and I gave Jing her gifts and whatnot. Hung out over there watching the Wayans Bro. with them for awhile. Came back home and had dinner with my mom. Gave her a basket of daisies we made in Floral Design ha.
Last Monday: Marco, Will, and I went to Commerce to order Mr. Lepzelter a cake from DQ. We stopped by Wal-Mart and loaded up on his favorite candies and a sack of apples and a card. We bought a ridiculous Patio Daddy-O bag to put it all in haha. We swung by Emily's dance place and picked her up then went back to the school to drop Will off. The three of us then went alllll the way back into Commerce and had some dinner at Applebee's. There's this office right by Emily's dance place owned by someone named HYMAN Brown. Obviously, I laughed for five consecutive minutes because I'm just that mature. At least it wasn't spelled with an 'e'.
Last Tuesday: Had to be at the school an hour early to deliver the yearbooks to classrooms. Ah worst cuts and bruises yet thanks to the 46lb. boxes. The staff looks all suicidal now ha. Our arms are covered with slashes. It was also 80s day for Senior Week. Oh boy, I had fun with that. Rampaged through Momzilla's closet. I wore the red YB t-shirt, ugly black leggings, a green/blue striped miniskirt, droopy gray socks, Keds with bright beads on the laces lol, a ginormous scrunchy, and ridiculous jewelry containing plastic fruits. We missed half the day just doing yearbook signing crap. After school, Marco, Emily, and I went back to Commerce to pick up that Snickers Blizzard ice cream cake. Lepz is always caught eating Snickers bars so we thought he might like it. We got back and dropped the cake off at my house then caught like the last ten minutes of the last EV meeting EVER. Kind of crazy. I've been in that club like a nerd since eighth grade. Marco and I picked up the cake then headed to Mike's Grill for the EV dinner thrown together by Mr. Lepzelter for the seniors. He reserved the back room for us and took it upon himself to pay for all of us. We surprised him with the Patio Daddy-o package and the cake. It was kind of..sad times. I'm actually going to miss old Lepz. =(
Last Wednesday: Had the last Beta Club meeting/dinner EVER. Went to Peking's in Athens again. Good stuff. The officers got ghetto certificates and some nice keychains lol. I forgot what I served as this year..Treasurer or Secretary or something ha. Christy, Chelsea, Baily, Will, Rob, Janell, and I stopped by Publix afterwards all because we were craving some chocolate. I bought a half pound bar of dark chocolate and Baily bought a half pound bar of some other kind of chocolate, and nobody would help us eat it. We ended up just talking in the parking lot for hours. Didn't get home until 11ish. It was a pretty nice night. NO DRAMA. Unbelievable.
Last Thursday: Missed school for the most rigged EV rally ever lol. It was really pointless being that we were the only school in the competition but whatever. We had the Peach State race track to ourselves. I rode with Rob in the truck for Acceleration, then we switched positions and I beat his time by .12 seconds lol. Niiice. We got back to the school and I actually sat around with Bess and Bernie in my car for two hours. It gets hard being around them when they decide to be all ridiculous and obnoxious, but they were being civil. Got to catch up on a lot with Bernie. It was a refreshing talk, I guess. We had to split and head home and get the nasty outside-all-day feeling out. I totally got a farmer's tan. Disappointing lol. I've gone this far into spring without one. Anyways, we all were back at the school for Honors Night. I have to say it..the last one EVER. Sitting on stage for three long hours isn't exactly what I call fun, but that night was a little different than others. I found out about a few scholarships I applied for. I ended up getting one of the JC Community Outreach Scholarships for $1,000. I guess those bladder-wrenching interviews were worth it lol. Then Will and I actually received the Wesley William Roberts Scholarship for $1,500 each. That basically blew my mind. Really wasn't expecting either of them. The night got kind of rough when Bess went up there to receive her like billionth scholarship but this time it was for Cystic Fibrosis and the lady made a speech about how her family lost their daughter to CF at the age of 20 and mannn..Baily and I just busted out crying and I know all of the guys got teary-eyed. Baily got off the stage but I just sat up there between Christy and Janell. Right after that, I had to go back up there for my Beta Club stole and I was still crying. I finally straightened up at the end of the ceremony when we went up there for the Top 10% plaques and Honor Grad. cords. What a night. Baily, Bess, and I sat out in the lobby of the auditorium for awhile and Baily started crying which made me start crying which made Bess start crying haha. It was kind of weird because we usually don't..break down like that but with everything that's been going on, we kind of forgot how important we are to each other and how much shorter some lives will be compared to others. Gah way too depressing to think about. At least I know Bess is trying hard as hell to live her life normally and to its full extent. =) Baily, Bess, Bernie, Will, and I hung out in the parking lot for forever afterwards. We went and sat out on the curb at the entrance of the lot that we drive through every freaking morning and realized we're most likely never going to see this place again after this week. The guys left, so Baily, Bess, and I sat in my car for awhile longer and talked a little, laughed a little, cried a little..all that good stuff. We ended the night when Fuel's "Shimmer" came on 99x. Great timing.
Last Friday: Had some plans with Philip and the gang. I was supposed to meet everybody up at the school at 6:30, so I got home around 5:30 and told myself I'd get ready around 6. I completely knocked out on my bed. Next thing I know, I wake up to find Marco and Will standing outside of my bedroom door and it was like 7:15 haha. I love being irresponsible, except for not really. I felt kind of awful, because by the time I brushed my teeth and threw some jeans on, I found those two plus Philip, Emily, Kay, and Carl hanging out in my front yard waiting lol. I rode with Marco, Emily, and Kay to Athens in search of this rollerskating place. We got lost and only turned around about nineteen times lol. Philip did a great job keeping up. We finally found the place..kind of in the ghetto. Then the admission fee was all screwed up because of this special skate-from-7-to-7 thing they had going on but we were not about to skate until 7 in the morning haha or pay the price for that. So we actually ended up trying out this new place to eat. It was like some Korean/Japanese grill called Choo Choo's. Some pretty good times were had there. I seriously haven't laughed that hard in forever. I shared a tiny booth with Philip and Will and Philip was by the wall, threatening to fart haha. Heaven forbid. Will and I would have been launched from our seats. We made some vomit soup from my leftover bowl. Got to hit Philip up for the disgusting pictures. We headed back to the school and threw a frisbee around. Philip left around eleven, and the rest of us dodged the cameras and found our way into the stadium. We weren't risky enough to jump any gates, so we just took the long way around. We creeped ourselves out and jumped at every tiny sound on the way there. We climbed the slippery steps all the way to the top and shouted at the top of our lungs. It felt pretty good.
Saturday: I did lots of mundane housework and ran some errands. Folded towels, washed dishes, took the trash out, blah. Went to Food Lion to pick up a birthday card and a gluestick ha. Stopped by McDonald's to visit Christy. Christy came over after she got off work and we just chilled. I worked on the holy DVD for awhile afterwards.
Sunday: Met up with Elisha and Elizabeth and carpooled to Boswell's house for a bonfire/last bonding Yearbook Staff thing. Her house is so gorgeous. They've got the posh two staircase/nobody-lives-here look going on. Her husband grilled up our dinner and the seniors were in her bedroom struggling to screw together this scrapbook. Didn't think it was that complicated. We overpacked the book, but after like seven attempts we finally got it and our food was deliciously cold. Tyler's mom made us her signature cookie cake. I'm going to miss those. Boswell got us a cake with our group picture printed on there. We were stuffed. We got awards for whatever we did best in that class then the seniors presented our scrapbook to her and she went through each page and cried. Made some kids get teary-eyed lol. We wrapped all of that up and went out into the backyard and played this game called Bachi Ball or something. It's like croquet, except not really. I'm pretty sure it was made for old people. There was also the treehouse and the ginormous trampoline and the four-wheeler. We got attacked by some water guns and silly string. It was some simple, fun times over there. We headed home around nine and Elizabeth and Elisha started getting teary-eyed on the ride back because they think I'm going to be shipped off to some village and will never contact them again or something. Silly kids. They're probably going to make me cry when I see them graduation night, that is if I'm not already crying my eyes out.
I'm exempt from all of my finals so today was my very last day of high school. EVER. It was ridiculously boring, and I didn't get sad until I saw Tall Paul in the hallway at the end of the day and realized it's cool kids like him that I'll probably never see again. It was also a bummer saying bye to little Carl since he won't be at graduation. Ah underclassmen buddies. So that's it. Graduation practice is on Thursday, the ceremony itself is Friday night. Then I really won't ever see that gray place again.
Yes, ADAM. I've heard about the zebra. From twenty-nine kids, actually. Next person who asks me whether IT's striped or not will get punched in the ear. Pretty neat offer. =)
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade away again. |
