Jun. 1st, 2006 08:33 pmUm, so today was interesting. Senior meeting thingy zero period, so no real gym, which was nice. Second period got commended by the American Legion for Vietnam project; that was sort of cool. Lunch we had a barbecue, if for any particular reason I don't know what it is. Nate kept trying to steal my purse, almost succeeded twice, and opted for stealing my drink instead. Also had ice cream sundaes, which I got ridiculously excited about because I am a small child like that. Kat and I split one instead of buying two smaller ones 'cos we're like that. When we were about to jump in line for ice cream Kat inquires if I'd timed it on purpose so that we ended up directly behind our favorite bassist. >.< I hadn't, and it was a tense couple of minutes, but it passed without incident. Bought prom bids; tickets say it starts at 8 even though it starts at 7; this school just can't do ANYTHING right. Mr. Russo was wearing a Ramones t-shirt and this amused the heck out of me, I'm not sure why.
Tomorrow should be a pretty nothing day, since most of the school is gone since all the band and orchestra kids are going to Hershey Park, and that's almost everybody. This makes it, in essence, a two-day week: today and yesterday. Tuesday was the physics trip, which was essentially the fifth day of my weekend, since Ms Monk didn't have any work for our group, so we literally just got to dick around Six Flags for six hours. I got rather dreadfully sunburned, but it was fun. And Monday was off, of course, and I spent almost all of it hanging out by the pool doing nothing, except for the bit where we watched a movie, and the work involved in trying to keep my pants from falling off. >.< They'd been too small when I put them on Sunday afternoon after work; by the time we got back from the abandoned highway Sunday evening they were too big, and by the end of Monday they had expanded ridiculously. It was a pain in the ass. >.<
Last weekend was actually quite a lot of fun. Sunday was work, walked to Dan's, poked around the abandoned highway for four hours with Dan and Matt, watched an exceedingly abysmal movie called Gypsy 83, went to Dodge Field at eleven o'clock where we discovered an interesting sort of coiled apparatus on one of the jungle gyms that distorts sound in a most interesting way when you walk between the metal loops. Then I walked home at midnight; the town was almost completely quiet. It was really quite nice.
Saturday was mostly quiet; didn't have anything social to do; went to the bank at about 8 or 9 and found one of my mom's friend's cards still in the machine. Both parents found this hysterical. Called the woman in question and she told me hang on to it and she'd get it tomorrow; she was in the middle of playing croquet. o.O Okay then.
Friday evening watched Heathers at Dan's with Dan and Matt and Pat, then went driving around in the rain with the windows down blaring dance music. Picked up Alex (and his iPod full of techno) at Dunkin Donuts at about 10, went driving around in the rain more until we found the abandoned highway. The abandoned highway is AWESOME at night in the rain and fog. Getting through the woods in the dark to get there was a little tricky, but fun, and a very very muddy process.
Thursday Kat and I watched movies all afternoon and then went walking around town all evening, along with the entire population of MHS. Ran into a couple people we know and a whole lot of people we recognized. Met some freshman named Kaitlyn (sp?) at Dodge Field and now feel bad because I can't identify her at school because it was dark and so I don't really know what she looks like *has rather poor night vision*. Ran into Evan twice--the first time he called to us from his car and then drove away leaving us all confused; the second time (about an hour, hour and a half later) he actually stopped to talk and let us know it was him. Also ran into our favorite bassist twice--once with him entering Dodge Field just as we were leaving for the swings; the second time on GVR about an hour later. Decided that was just weird. Then decided town was too small. Then decided to go to the diner. Got home at about 12h30 and watched Kate and Leopold with Tim and Carlos until two in the morning, which was entertaining.
Oh, and I got my Grateful Dead sweatshirt. Yay!
