Watching: Daybreakers
Graduation day was pretty cool. The day before, as I said, I got my hair done by Shorty and she gave me these purple tulips:
At the graduation, we stood in a line for 2 hours just waiting for the thing to start which I thought was pretty shitty. The ceremony itself was about 2 hours as well. There was a live webcast and I wish I would have known that so that I could tell those who weren't able to be there. My mom and I were able to be right up front with our old neighbor, Beverly. During the tassle turn, I moved my mom's and she moved mine. I thought that was a cute idea.
I wore my cupcake necklace and I'm sure the woman who made it may be happy to see it.
There will probably be more photos later. I don't have a camera so I'm depending on others when it comes to getting photos.
Afterwards there was a family gathering where I convinced my childhood friends Marcus and Julie (kids of Beverly) to go with us to Brandn' Iron. I drank quite a bit and I shouldn't be drinking that much again. I did have a lot of fun though. Kevin actually came and I guess it's something he may be doing more often.
On Sunday I went with Stuart, Grandma, Cynthia, Elissa and Andrew to the All-American Youth Circus. I enjoyed it. Of course there were parts that went on a bit long, and a few parts where you're like "well that's not really an accomplishment" but for their respective age groups it is. I definitely found the unicycling to be most exciting.
And tonight is LOST night. The finale was last night and people at work are taking and talking so Kev and I had to tell them to hushush. Sheesh. :D
Listening to: Of Montreal
I cried last night for something that I lost. It wasn't only mine - it was shared, and we all lost it. A part of it is still around but... it's not the same. Maybe it's kinda stupid that I cried for it but I really liked it and I'm sad it's gone. It's going to be replaced and who knows, maybe it will be just as good, but I don't really think so. At least I still have the group of people I shared this with. That's a nice feeling because I've grown awfully fond of them and wouldn't want to lose them either; not now that I feel I've gotten to know them better. This thing I lost - we lost - was what got me to get to know them better, and I'm pretty grateful for that.
On a somewhat different note I realized yesterday all the death and severe health issues that have surrounded me. Not me personally, but at my work place. I've worked for the current company for over 5 years. From the end of last year to current date, people in advertising (there's only 3 of them) have had family members in and out of hospitals and at least 3 deaths that I can recall. An old boss I had when I first started at this job lost his son. I think it was found out that it was either a suicide or an accidental drug overdose. A co-worker of mine, an old guy named Larry who I was actually fond of, passed away and merely one week later my other co-worker lost his wife to cancer. For him I felt a great deal of sorrow. He knew his wife was slipping away and just when he was hit with the sorrow of losing a long time friend (the co-worker), he was then hit with the tragedy of losing his life long love. He was so quite and unlike himself for a few weeks.
It's amazing how powerful one can be moved by someone else's misfortune.
