Wednesday was the senior picnic. Since me, Lorenza, and Ryu weren't really in a group, the three of us kinda drifted around until about 11, when our friend Gerrit appeared with a propane grill. Grills bring people together or something, because that's when we found our group. I also ate way too much, because after lunch I passed out on a blanket for an hour. Got a gnarly sunburn, which turned into a tan just one day later. Got my farmer's tan for the summer.
One of the things I was hearing a lot was "Funny how you don't make your friends until this late in school". Which, really, is true. Come the end - almost too late - you find the people you like best and who like you too. It sucks, but...it's what happens.
Thursday was a lovely first day of freedom, though I also called it my first day of limbo. My version of limbo, however, is the fact that I haven't graduated high school yet but I'm done attending classes. So it's a waiting-in-limbo game.
Friday night was May Movie Sign Madness. I invited twelve people over, ten of who attended. There were freshmen Sarah and Canyon, sophomores Missy, Sophie, Cara, Andy, Marissa, and Shannon, junior Aaron, and fellow senior Ryu. Sarah and Canyon had not yet seen a full episode (both had seen random snippets and skits), most of them had only seen The Movie, Missy has seen random segments and shorts, and Ryu has come to Movie Sign so he's pretty seasoned.
Anyways, we kicked it off by watch The Movie and eating pizza, then segueing into The Final Sacrifice with popcorn. The kiddies were fine for the first half, but during the second half me and Ryu (and Sarah) had to keep yelling at them to shut up. 8P They were quiet for the end, though, and there was much love. Ryu suggested doing it every other week during the summer, which I wouldn't mind if people helped out with the food.
Saturday was a bumming around day. I can't even really remember what I did...oh...oh yeah, I popped Oblivion into the 360 again. Aaaand I had to start a new game, again. Ugh. So I'm hacking away at that, with my Wood Elf who has crazy-ass acrobatic skills (it's what I do). Then we had work. Work was interesting...we thought there weren't going to be a lot of people due to the holiday weekend, but we ended up busy. Well...busy for me. First bus kid was cut at 7:30, but that really shouldn't have happened. I left a little after 9, came home, chatted with Kastom a bit, then went to sleep.
Yesterday was more Oblivion and stuff. Man, I can't even remember what I did. The heck is wrong with me? Anyway, played Oblivion, watched TV, ate ribs for dinner, went out for ice cream, and made it back in time for Movie Sign. Terror from the Year 5000 was tedious, as are all of our movies. The second host segment had everyone poking fun at me for "jumping form Mike to Crow to Princess", and at the end when Crow is making it seem like he did it with Mike's old girlfriend, Arch was sending me frantic whispers going "WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!" Crow said "Dutch street" in the end and the worries were put to rest. XD Poor Arch, you have a lot to learn.
Today is more hanging out and playing video games. Tomorrow I have to wake up at normal school time for graduation rehearsal, followed by the senior breakfast. I think me and Lorenza are going to hang out for the day and then go out to our favorite sushi joint for dinner.
Friday is graduation, Saturday I have placement tests at NIU followed by graduation party hopping. Sunday I leave on vacation to Williamsburg, Virginia. Piers is coming along and I should be able to make Movie Sign for both Sundays (leave the 31st, come back the 7th) since we don't travel late into the night. The hotels we're staying at have free wi-fi so I'll be on in the evenings and the like.
You know what TV show I really like? Jon & Kate Plus 8. Don't ask. But the new season premieres tonight, and sometime during this season they have a crossover episode with Ace of Cakes. I was squeeing in bliss.
