Special Event Thread cont.

[Coral]

One of my lanterns spontaneously dissasembled. Is that a special event?

[BugHunter]

Woa! Thats like the 8th sign of the apocalypse! We're all gonna die!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Bring out your dead!!!

[Cobra5]

Apocolypse!? Where!?

There are those among us... those who survive against all odds... there are always a few... those few...

...like me.

Bwhahahhahahaha!

[DOOFY]

hey,i wanna be a survivor too.

[Coral]

The transit of venus was today. It ended about 11 minutes ago, while I was struggling with a pinhole and paper. I think I saw it, a little dot on the edge of the light... I cant be sure though

[copyKatt]

yup, i heard about that one too, but today wasnt really the best day to see it up here... plus, i couldnt get it to work right anyway...

[hyper4pyropixie]

Special... um.... i have birthday coming up, the 19th. But thats nothing special.

[BugHunter]

oh yea, your birthday is next Saturday. Craig's Graduation Party is on Saturday too... hmm...


But speaking of special events, whats more greater than OUR GRADUATION!!!! Holy crap man, our graduation kicked soooo much ass!!! I can't believe how perfectly everything turned out -- The weather was great, everyone was there, and it was so much fun. Man i love how we all just wooped and hollered even though they tell us to be quiet when we got our diplomas. lol. Best graduation ever! Thank God that it was outdoors. If it were inside the gym, we all would have died . hahaha, man i loved it!

;D ;D ;D ;D

[Deimos]

Pixie...don't say that

and Graduation...well- that went quite well I suppose- great weather definitely. Although, as for the experience, I don't know- I don't really feel different, nor did I feel too different taking the diploma folder...hmm- strange really

then came project grad...which wasn't too bad- I'd say I had fun, to which my favorite part was chilling poolside when everyone else was watching the hypnotist show (although I wasn't alone persay- there two others there, but they spent the entire time in the hot-tub section at the end of the pool)

[BugHunter]

are you like, trying to be unimpressed with life in general?


Anyway.... Graduation kicked ass!!! What are you talkin about, the whole thing was GREAT!!! Maybe my experience was better considering i was up front, but whatever. Of all the graduations that I've seen, and i've seen like four, OURS was the most kick ass of them all!!! What matters is that we all had fun, and i had sooo much fun, hahaha. And I got hit by a truck load of confetti but i dont care! Party!!! The singing of the anthem by Kyle and Alanna and that other chic was brilliant. The choir did a spectacular job. And the band did alright too. And man, I loved the speech by our Saludictorian(sp?), Jonathan Feldman, that was great! Man, he is so gonna become president, lol.

But as for that hypnotist show, I've said it to you guys who were there in person before, in hindsight I would have stayed on stage. But someone should have briefed me that the show was more like a comedy and you actually had to pretend that you were actually feeling that crap. Damnit, if i knew we were suppost to act in the beginning, I would have been all over that shiznit!!! Damn! And then the real fun of the show started after i left. But oh well, overall that night was kuuurrraazzzzeeee. Cheers to the gladiatorial joust and getting my ass handed to me several times over! hahaha! But at least i won a match! Wohooo!! ;D

But yea, Alfred pulled a Will and spent the first half of the show "alone" at the pool (with the exception of Xan and whoever that guy was), lol

[Deimos]

it's salutatorian, whose speech is then called the 'salutatory' address

as for my impression- well i'm sorry if I don't share your enthusiasm...two different people- thus two different opinions (also, i'm no party animal- that side of the bloodline went straight to my kid brother with full force). Not to mention, the way I was raised- special events are no longer too exciting for me anymore...in my family they are done and then over with the next day. Most evident in the way birthdays and christmas are treated here- 'okay, happy birthday/merry christmas...go to mall...buy 2-3 gifts...go home...eat...then get back to work as soon as humanly possible' I added christmas because without dad around, I do the helping- so I already know what i'm going to get along with everyone else...and mom only very RARELY pulls a surprise

the only thing that hit me afterwards was that I now have only a month to prep for the real world- and going back to work as per usual

BUT- back to Project Grad- Know that I didn't 'just' wander around. I also spent a great deal of time catching up with some other friends that I haven't spoken to in ages ie- Greg Smith, Andrew Darwin; friends I probably won't see again ie- Mo, Logan. There was also hanging out in the theater-room, with Becky Koep watching Minority Report (that was the one room where people went if they wanted to catch some z's).

Then in the pool- the only others there were Xandria (as you mentioned) and the guy she was with was Rob Gordon (the 3rd)

[BugHunter]

That was Bobby she was with? hahaha

And man, I feel your pain, but you gotta enjoy life man! I mean, my life isn't perfect either but dont douse the flames of joy with the mucky water of desolation. Its a celebration! (hey that rhymed, hehehe). I mean, what do you want me to do? Show pity? Come on, lets party! I mean, I'm through with that suffering artist crap. Got through with it (well at least most of it) ever since I finally got the good message, know what i mean. I'm fed up with feeling like a piece of sh**. And I'm lovin it. And you should too. There's a lot to be grateful for. I mean, how else can i say it --- Party - it - up! ...but dont drink drive kids. And say no to drugs! hehehe

[Cobra5]

But as for that hypnotist show...

You don't have to pretend to be hypnotized- it's real and it works, but, it only on some people, and it only really works on people who are willing. Dan, for example, says he was truely yipnotized. He's been talking about it non-stop

But yea, Alfred pulled a Will and spent the first half of the show "alone"...

You say that like its a abd thing...

People enjoy different things. Bumping around a crowd of people I hardly know, with loud blaring music and/or listening to stranger's conversations pretending to be interested, distracting me from being with my friends. I would rather be with just my friends, not a whole bunch of other people...

But I guess that's just me. I guess that's why I never meet anyone But I'm happy the way I am.

[BugHunter]

Well I'm friends with a whole bunch of other people, hahaha
