laurelin_kit | Last few days (Reply)

The last few days of high school ever were rather awesome. I didn't have anything to do, really, so I just wandered around. I had a terrible time with the yearbook exam, though. I had to make a whole yearbook spread on InDesign, which I never learned and only just learned in time for the exam. Somehow I survived. I ended up skipping Heussner's class and going to drama for both days, and by skipping I mean telling Ms. Heussner that I was going to another class and then going. I wandered around most of the day with no pass, reveling in my seniority. Wednesday was a completely blank nothing no work day and it was awesome. My very last day of high school. I skipped weight training completely and went and hung out in Mrs Rehm's class. I felt really weepy because it was me, Cassie and Becky hanging out again, just like it was in ninth grade. We even had some Blue Fic to read and watched bits of Remember the Titans and had a miniature conniption when the VCR operators almost skipped the boykissage.

After that, I went home and soon Grant came over with The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and we watched some of that and then the Lost finale Part One. Then we went off to see Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Geeks were there by the droves. They had choreographed lightsaber battles until the manager told them to knock it off. FIGHT THE MAN! Then there were two hours to go and noooothing to do but wait. We tried sleeping on each other and almost did, but people were retarded and loud and make them go awaaaaay. Finally the movie came.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG SLASH OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG AAAAAUGH CHOSEN ONE AAAUGH SO PERFECT AAAUGH BUT THINGS DID STILL PISS ME OFF AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THEM LATER BUT AAAAHH!

We went to Denny's afterwards and spent most of the time there partially snuggling and partially using each other as support so we wouldn't fall forward asleep into our food. We probably gave people cavities, but I was so happy. We kept making Darth Vader noises at each other like we've been doing all week. I got home around 4:30 and fell into bed and poor Grant got back home at 5:00. 4 hours later we were both at graduation practice this morning where I was barely awake and kept fucking up and we watched the senior video. I sobbed at the end. I'm going to miss West Shore. I'm going to miss all the day-to-day activities and seeing little kids I know and smiling at all my friends and knowing I'm known and loved. I'll miss the people.

They did the senior prank. A car painted blue and silver and with 'Class of 2005' on the hood was reassembled in the commons area. Beautiful, truly beautiful. :) Good job, guys.

We went to the senior picnic afterwards and Becky and I acted very gay again and Grant picked me up a lot. We had cheap barbeque and ice cream and watched a fake arrest. After everyone filtered out, Grant and I stayed behind and talked to Alex and Christa for a while. Then Alex left and we kept on talking to Christa until she had to leave, so we finally decided to trot off, and discovered his ride left without him. Woe! So we called my mom and she came to pick us up and take us to my house. While we were waiting, we went to visit little Tristan in Schle's room and that kid launched himself across the room to give Grant a flying-squirrel hug. Adorable, adorable, adorable.

Back at my house we watched Star Wars: A New Hope on the couch and tried to stay awake. Very, very tired things we were. Now for the last few hours I've been watching TV (OMG THE O.C. FINALE! WTF! Beautifully done last scene, though.) and working on a Very Special Project. Oooh, and I went swimming. Perfect water temperature.

I'm very hungry. Tomorrow morning when I get up I might have to snag some money from the parental units and go to Denny's for - guess, babe, just guess - hashbrowns. Very hungry.

Tomorrow is graduation. And after that, Project Graduation. All-night party at Andretti Thrill Park. I'll have the time of my life.
