OK.
It's been a while since I wrote anything on here seriously, and I want to get myself used to it again, since this trip around I hope more people will read it. So, here we go.

Graduation was amazing. I had a lot of fun, despite the enormous amount of running around, the unnecessary amount of mingling, adn the overbearingness that is my lovely parents. They were great, but wierd all weekend. And I loved meeting everyone else's folks and family. Its so great to see people with their families. I LOVE IT, don't ask me why, I'm just wierd.
It didn't really feel different or special to have graduated. I'm sure it will at some point. It did hurt like hell though because I hit my leg on the arm of a chair as we were lining up to get on stage and I had a HUGE balck and blue that hurt a lot for like a week and a half! it was crazy! Saying goodbye to people sucked hardcore. Grace left first and she was crying and stuff and i was like NOOOOOO!!!! and then everyone else one after the other I saw for the last time in a long while and all I can really think of now is how I didn't really say goodbye to everyone, but I think that is OK, because goodbye to me is so permanant, and I'm trying to think of life as short and a few years before I see people as not that long... but it is... but its not... ok moving on.

The week after graduation was ok. I didn't really want to be at camp. Jesse was amazingly depressed, and Aaron was so preocuppied by Beth I didn't know if i thought it was cute or wierd. I had fun overall, and I'm happy I went, and I think I might be in love with Erna, but I don't think it was amazing. The best time I had was on the last day when I went to this river on the other side of the town (Idyllwild) and I walked along the river forever! There was no real walking along, it was more IN the river. I met some funny old folk and some cool southern folk and had some great conversations. Jesse came with me but chickened out after about 30 seconds. So I headed on up alone and I just kep going. Eventually I hit this real big deep part and I took off my tan golf cap and my shirt and my shoes and pants but NOT my underwear, lol, and went swimming for like 15 minutes and it was amazing! It was far up way past any houses or anything and it was clean in that really dirty natural way and refreshing and very needed. Then I put on all my clothes... wondered why I took them off since they got soaked anyway and headed back. I wish I could do it again right now. Saying goodbye to Aaron was hard... especially since I was having such a hard week with everything else, and he left sort of when everything hit me all at once. Sucked... but I got a surprise present of used silly string, which was probably unintentional... so I was happy.

OK. Oxy graduation was WAAAAAAAY better than hours, why? : better speaker, MUCH shorter. Jacob's fams was cool. I liked them a lot and we had some amazing food all that weekend. Also a lot of great fun, wine, bulgarian nonsense, italien nonsense, and some form of hispanic nonsese. THere was dads vs. daughters beer pong which was great to watch. Then the roadtrip fiasco of the century began as me, jacob, alyssa, this girl cessie, her parents, and a guy names joe no one really knew went off to cross half the country with 5 cars, all cessie's life and walkie talkies! JACKPOT!
It was a ton of fun and silliness, and some dumb but hilarious cars coordinated motions. like the switcharoo and the snake slither...Joe was also one of the greatest guys I've met in a while. He was sarcastic and funny and awsome all around. He sang some grat karoke for us with his amazing operatic voice, which I unfortuantely had to pay for with a painful rendition of Wherever, Whenever by Shakira... Thank goodness I was drunk enough to not wanna shoot my own foot to escape.
I miss Jacob, Alyssa and Joe. It was a good group. Definately to people I'm in love with and one I would be with if I had known them for more than 3 days.

New Orleans was funtastic as well. Clancy's was closed so Jacob's dad cooked us a private dinner in his abode, which was like dude... wow. and we went to crazy vietnamese food where i had to cook my own shit. It was an interesting adventure. Lyssa's dad bought a new Prius, so he is my current personal Hero. I like trees. I like hugging them. DO you have a problem???
We saw X3 which I found amazingly disappointing, and I wanted to fix it so bad cuz all the mistakes were so HUGE and BAD and OBVIOUS and BAD. It makes me a little angry to think of that movie....

Then I flew home. Met the baby which can walk now and had some good times.
Home has been uneventful. I will talk about NY later.
This is already way too long.
