Right. Well.

It is time to recount my day.
I woke up late, and went to the Superstore to get my schedule and uniform. It is orange and only slightly less ugly than my other uniform. Once I trekked back across the parking lot, I bumped into Kari, so I went all the way back with her. Then we got hot dogs, slurpees, and beef jerky from the 7/11. It was awesome.
I got home, and went to do homework, but Big Momma (aka Jabba the cat) came and lay on my stomach and started purring, which made me sleepy and I dozed off into la-la land for a few hours.
My life is uninteresting.
And now, I am online, talking with Gregg and listening to music.
Life is sweet.
I am hyper.
Going away now!

Musical Quote of the Day (is going to be a whole song...it's rather sad, but I like it...)

"I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from Clapham
Out on the windy common
That night I ain't forgotten
When she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said you are a lady
Perhaps she said I maybe

We moved into a basement
With thoughts of our engagement
We stayed in by the telly
Although the room was smelly
We spent our time just kissing
The Railway Arms were missing
But love had got us hooked up
And all the time it took up

I got a job with Stanley
He said I'd come in handy
And started me on Monday
So I had a bath on Sunday
I worked eleven hours
And bought the girl some flowers
She said she'd seen a doctor
And nothing now could stop her

I worked all through the winter
The weather brass and bitter
I put away a tenner
Each week to make her better
And when the time was ready
We had to sell the telly
Late evenings by the fire
Her little kicks inside her

This morning at four fifty
I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator
Where thirty minutes later
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker
She looked just like her mother
If there could be another

And now she's two years older
Her mother's with a soldier
She left me when my drinking
Became a proper stinging
The Devil came and took me
From bar to street to bookie
No more nights by the telly
No more nights nappies smelling

Alone here in the kitchen
I feel there's something missing
I beg for some forgiveness
But begging's not my business
And she won't write a letter
Although I always tell her
And so it's my assumption
I'm really up the junction"

-Squeeze Title:Up The Junction
I heart Squeeze. They also sang "Tempted" which was in a GAP commercial. Not that I like the GAP. I just like their music.

As Far As Work Is Concerned

It wasn't that bad. Except my very first customer, who obviously didn't read the GINOURMOUS sign proclaiming that I am a cashier in training, yelled at me. And the second customers yelled about me in Indian...I could just tell, and they were very rude. The worst, I think, was the really creepy guy leaning over the belt to check me out. But I had some really nice, understanding people as well. Plus, Kari and I had loads of fun adventures talking about how awful some people are. Hahahahhahahaha. Little do they know what we say behind their backs!
Alas, I woke up this morning, talked to Kari, and went back to bed, because, much to my dismay, I am showing the symptoms of the ever present and annoying mono. So I didn't go to school today. I just do not care.
And now I am hungry.

Musical Quote of the Day

"I want to love you madly
I want to love you now
I want to love you madly
I want to love you
Love you
Love you madly"

-Cake Title: Love You Madly

Mmmmm...Yellow Juice...

I'm not calling orange juice orange anymore, as it is clearly yellow. Yes, I am well aware that yellow juice is made of orange, not yellow. I don't care. It's yellow juice.
Oh, Big Momma, you are so fat. I heart you.
And my mother played a very nasty trick on me. As we were zipping along in the Beetle, she decided it would be funny to put down the automatic window as we drove through and ENOURMOUS puddle, thus, I was soaked with dirty puddle water. But it doesn't matter much, because I was already wet from waiting outside for her at school.
I actually really enjoyed waiting outside. The rain was beautiful, and I stood underneath a tree and let the wind tug at my skirt and the rain fall on my hood. The little and many ripples in the puddles were like thousands of drops of love. Love that I feel in my heart all of the time.

I GRADUATED THIS MORNING

Which is mind boggling.

Let's NOT do the Time Warp again...

This morning I thought I was late, but it turned out, I was on time. It's a long story, but in the end, I decided that major patches in the space time fabric, although interesting, do a number on my simple mortal mind.
I blame Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Seriously, Body, Stop Being A Dick...

I woke up this morning, feeling like I'd been smacked in the stomach with a sledgehammer. I was in a tremendous world of pain and very nausious. So, after taking some Tylenol, I resolved to sleep in, wait until the pain wore off and then traverse to school. I woke up later, and decided that, screw it, I feel like crap, I'm staying home.
And now, I'm here at the computer, about to go outside for a while, as I feel better. I figure, I didn't miss anything important today. Yay.

Musical Quote of the Day

"If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

You never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through and I hope you are the one I share my life with"

Besides Being Tired Beyond All Comprehension

Things are fucking awesome. Last night was le grad and it was a blast. I can't wait to get the photos developed! And I was too busy having fun and enjoying myself to really care if other people were complaining and stuff. Screw them, right? I was not about to let myself get dragged down on my special day for anything. So I wasn't. It was so cool.
Let's start at the beginning.
So, first it was a trip to the hairdressers for an hour and a half of having my hair tugged, pulled, and heated to within an inch of it's life, then sprayed with about eight buckets of hair product and decorated accordingly. The end result: a beautiful hair style, with soft pieces in the front gathered into a bunch of thick, soft, dangling curls at the back. I thought it looked very elegant. Then I had my makeup applied by a proffesional, because I cannot be trusted. At first I thought it was going to be too dark, but when I looked in the mirror I thought she did a wonderful job, because I didn't even look like me. Way to go, people!
After that, it was a quick journey to Kari's house, where I waited in the kitchen until we were both ready. And Kari looked absolutely radiant. Her dress was fab! And her hair was prettified too. And her aunt gave me a lovely white carnation corsage to wear, which went great with my dress. So then it was picture time. I kept stumbling because I was not used to walking on the uneven lawn in my high heels and a big bell dress. Then my mother came and picked us up, and it was off to the hotel!
When we arrived, I was so excited. People in the lobby were staring at us, because we looked so pretty! Then Kathy arrived and I hugged her, and we went up to the lovely air conditioned room. It was really nice in there. So after waiting around for a bit, my dad and mother-of-step arrived, with the camera and the video recorder. And flowers! I got a lovely bouquet of roses and lilies and carnations and sonatas and babies' breath. It is so pretty! Kari got one too. I almost cried when I read the card, because it was so sweet. My mom gave both me and Kari a present too. Artemis Grad Frog, of course, but also one of those tiny metal balloons on a stick (the kind that don't petrify me) that says Congratulations, and a green teddy bear that I named Jade, and Kari got a yellow one she named Amber. Kathy got me a cute little Asian-esque pouch with a gold necklace inside of a butterfly, and two grad picture frames, one I can keep and the other I can give to someone else. They are awesome to the uber.
So then, we went back up to the room to relax for a while, which is difficult when you are trying not to mess up your hair, as I was. Then we went to the lobby of the Telus Convention Center, and took many pictures. My mom bade us farewell, and it was part-ay time. We met up with friends, took pictures, ate. The meal was pretty good. I mean, it wasn't four stars or anything, but it wasn't bad. The room looked really nice and there were a lot of really pretty dresses, but I, according to everyone else, didn't even look like myself. Which I'm going to take as a compliment. I skipped dessert, and went to the hotel room to get the lipstick Kari and I were using, and then went downstairs to meet Gregg in the lobby. At first, I was waiting outside, but then I got a little cold, so I went to wait in the uber cushy chairs. A couple of people commented that I looked very pretty, and a doorman said congratulations. So that was nice. Gregg arrived, looking devilishly handsome, and I greeted his mom and we gallavanted inside, and he presented me with a beautiful corsage, the kind that pins on to one's dress. It's two roses, one of them white and the other one sort of...magenta and white, with a lily and babies' breath and everything. It was the sweetest thing I'd ever seen. After a little bit of trouble, and teamwork, we fastened it securely to the left strap of my dress. It looked so good. Woohooo, party time! So the dance was in full swing when we arrived. I introduced him to anyone I saw that I knew. It was so much fun! All my friends dancing and singing and laughing, and then the slow dances were great too. I mean, really really really great. I felt so safe and loved.
And then he called me beautiful.
I've never been called beautiful before, apart from my family. But to hear it from someone who isn't obligated to say it, is just saying it because they really believe it is true, was music to my ears. It made my stomach turn to butterflies. It was amazing.
People slowly started to trickle out, and at about 10:30, it was just me, Gregg, the drama kids, and a few others. I requested Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, my all-time favourite love song, and Gregg and I danced right in the middle of the dance floor, and I look at him right in the eyes and said that I'd give up forever to touch you, because I know that you feel me somehow, you're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be and I don't want to go home right now.
In the middle of the song, we said goodbye and goodnight to Rene, but continued to dance until the song ended. It was the most romantic moment of my life.
Considering there was almost no one else there, Emily and Rene invited all of us to go across the plus 15 to another party, but I DID NOT suggested to Kari and Gregg that we go and hang out in the hotel room until his mom-who specifically told him no going to the hotel room-came and collected him. So we DID NOT go to the hotel room, where we did NOT eat chips and drink pop. I DIDN'T propose a toast to grad, friends, dancing, and love, and I WAS NOT poked and tickled into submission by Kari and Gregg. I DID NOT escort Gregg back downstairs and outside. We were standing eight feet apart at all times, I swear. I said goodbye, kissed him, and thanked his mother. Then, upon re-entry into the hotel room, I got into my pyjamas and Hyatt robe (which I tried to steal, but no such luck, as my mom made me return it) took out the bazillion bobby pins in my hair, and we watched CSI and went to sleep. Kari talked in her sleep, but I was too tired to notice.
Kari got the alarm call. I just lay there, praying for darkness and solitude. After laying there for about twenty minutes, we sluggishly adapted ourselves to light again and began our day. As in, we watched cartoons until my mom called, then we got dressed. I look in the mirror...and lets just say, I was...less than attractive this morning. Let that be a lesson to always wash one's face of make up before going to sleep.
Mom picked us up, then we went for Peters Drive-In for delicious E. Coli. Huzzah. And now I am here. Typing and sleepy. That was a long read, my appologies, but hell, I wanted to relive the magic.
