I think, therefore I am, therfore I live, therefore I blog.
It's been a rather eventful umm... 15 days since I last posted, this thing has, of course, fallen by the wayside as other projects and, well, things have taken up the majority of my time.
My graduation party went really well, sorry to all you peeps who couldn't make it, it was hella fun. See, for those of you who haven't been to my house it has a sand volley ball court in the back yard. I recruited Alan to help me dig out weeds, and than to help break up the rock hard sand. I wasn't actually expecting to use it, but we did, and how. We played volley ball for a long time, it was much fun. After most of the people had left we went to see Matrix: Reloaded, good movie, very much bridge syndrome though.
Went graduation party hopping on Saturday, I was somewhat unwell and incredibly tired, so I didn't make it to a lot of them.
My mom ate all of my cookie, sadness.
Sunday was the commencement ceremony thingy. I hod Bobby Kokrda sitting right behind me... what a stoner. He talked really loudly during the entire ceremony, I couldn't hear any speeches except for Adam's. Megan looked like she was about to climb down Bobby's throat though and rip out his heart.
Molly made it through without crying, I'm flabbergasted. Honestly, the girl cried when P gave us our thingies, P!
I've gradumicated, hooray, they can't keep me from..... from.... shit.
I guess that little piece of paper doesn't mean much does it... And it took me four damn years to get it.
Things have been weird over here, but I leave the details to those who were there, I'm speaking of Monday night and the impromptu sleepover.... quite possibly one of the most surreal nights of my life.
Tuesday night I worked with Scott, it wasn't too bad, he's a funny guy, he was a big time delinquent as a little kid.
Worked again today, missed the Forensics picninc, which I DID want to go to.
Apparently I got the "Most likely to join the Circus." superlative again, that makes me happy in a sad sort of way, 4 years and all I've got are 4 Circus certificates.
Watched the Animatrix, great set of anime-esque short films. They were all mildly trippy, in a wonderful sort of way. After that an impromptu wrestling bout between Glenn and myself ensued, we ended at a stalemate.... he is FAR too strong for his size..... I think we're going to be wrestling again tomorow, it was a lot of fun.

I would like to take a moment to state something that I think I may have forgotten until tonight.
All women are beautiful.
It's a simple statement that carries great weight. To all the ladies who may read this, remember this, you are beautiful, the only thing that can make that untrue is to forget it.
Thank you Ian.
Speaking of Ian, fencing was wonderful tonight, it was exactly what I needed, I'm glad I convinved my dad to let me go, whether he liked it or not. I fenced saber with Ian, and I fenced it well, small movements of the wrist, very little motion of the arm. Apparently my style that I learned on my own is French. What Ian said I was doing was exactly what I wanted to be doing. It was nice to hear some praise for a change. My dad an I have been butting heads again, it happens now and then, it will pass.
I dreamed about that girl again, her hair was shorter this time, but I'm sure it was her, she was sick an in my bed and I was taking care of her. I went upstairs to talk to my dad and the entire upstairs was covered in tarp, like the house was being painted, that was when I woke up.

I think blogging once a week or so sounds like a GREAT plan.
I had a really really strange dream last night. The first half or so wan't all that important save that it features this girl that I cannot remember but feel very close to all the same. We were just sitting and talking and when we were done talking she left and I went outside to get on the bus that was taking me and a bunch of people from school and church to, of all places, the mall. I went to Walgreens and bought some beef jerky strips, but I didn't have any money, the lady said I could just take them, so I did. As soon as I left Walgreens and went back out into the mall, Taria, Kara H, Molly and Kimmy started chasing me because they wanted my beef jerky, I think. Well, I didn't want them to have my jerky, so I started running away. I ran into Pat, Breant and Whit, who are three guys who go to my church. Well, they wanted to help the girls, so they started chasing me too. I got away by slipping into an elevator that couldn't fit anymore people onto it. The elevator went down one floor, and then I took the stairs down to the arcade, which was called Tilt, but looked like the bastard child of Family Fun Center and Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. The place was packed, and there were these funky inflatable water slides, but more on the slides later. Well, I went down to the bottom level of the arcade and played skeeball for awhile, I didn't do very well because Taria kept on poking me, after awhile I realized it was Taria and decided I should run away. I ran to one of the slides and got, well, sucked up it. I looked down and I saw Kimmy standing guard next to a fountain, and then I kept sliding/bouncing along. I looked down again an I could see all of them looking for me. I went back to Walgrees and climbed up on top of one of the shelves and looked down at the register to see the boys buying beef jerky for themselves and the girls..... The dream kinda fizzled after that.

So, I've been awake for 23 straight hours so far... that's way too fucking long, especially when you consider what ELSE I have to do today. Fucking Youth Sunday. Youth Sunday is a puppet show, religion is dumbed down enough as it is, I certainly don't enjoy enforcing the trend with these inane skits we are required to do.

On a much more positive note, prom went off pretty much without a hitch. I actually cleaned out my car, and I give it about two more days of cleanliness before it all goes to hell again. But yeah, I had a lot of fun, I got to swing dance for the first time in a long time. I'm discovering that I'm considerably less inhibited with near strangers (friends of friends) than I am with some of my friends. I can't honestly explain it. But I saw Dan and his date sort of half swinging, doing the same move over an over again... so I decided to step in. My sister taught me a couple of years ago, and once the music is going it kind of comes back. I thouht I did pretty well, she seemed out of breath at the end, which is what you should be shooting for. I tried again with Allie, but the beat was wrong. And Alan, you're dancing is, well, spectacular in its.... its... well, it is what it is.

After Prom was ok, I shouldn't have stayed for the entire thing, I should have gone home an slept. But I had my reasons for sticking around, and they were good ones, to my mind. Ran through the obstable course three times, won the first two times, and lost the third, not bad for a recovering patient eh? I'll get you next time Kitchell.

So I dropped Elizabeth off at her house and I drove back home in the rain, it started really pouring right as I got in, and right as I was about to turn the key to shut off the car, that Ataris song came on, "Best Years of Our Lives," or something like that. So I turned off the engine and my headlights and I just sat and listened to the song while the rain was pounding all around me. It seemed an appropriate ending.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped pull this all together, it was a blast.
