Well, you know i saw Matrix Reloaded once on Wednesday night into Thursday morning, but well, while Steve and i were roaming around the mall on Thursday (6796) we started wondering, do they have tickets still? So we went to a seven-o-clock showing, just Steve and i, and we decided this: this actually IS a thinker movie, this IS one of those movies you have to watch a few times to get. We're still theorizing about a lot of it.

So i get back, i see the whole Mac troupe going out to see the Matrix and i'm like 'hehe, they're in for it.' And so Stephen's online, but i go to snag Dan cause i don't know where he's at, cause i think he's sleeping in the car or something, but Dan and Jenn are still packing, though they're about through. so in a little while Dan comes back and we hang out, and talk to Stephen some, and later Jackie and Sam, and we all make some poetry,.. and well, that's thursday.

I woke up like every half hour, from about 6 thirty to 9 thirty today, just to fall back asleep and let myself sleep in. No one is around, it's so unbearably BORING. Jenn called about this time, offered me the use of her meal points, which i obviously accepted, and so i had this vicious mad huge lunch like i normally never get, thanks Jenn!

So i get back and slowly pack things and crank up the muzak real loud and get lonely, but Chels calls and says hey, do you want to watch a movie? So i take the bike over and (i still have to give that thing a name), i knock on the door and nobody answers, so i go down to the basement and nobody answers my knocking (maybe i should have pounded?) and i go up to Chels' window and knock, and give a holler, and i get nothing, and i'm all weirded out cause i was just invited over.. so i use that phone and i get let in, phew!

Apparantly MacInnis is all still here almost, and they are just crazy and out of control :-P I've never seen a hall so insane before.. except previous instances of Mac, but yeah, besides that no. We decided against 'A League of their own' and 'Thumbelina' (thank God) and we decided to watch Anastasia. I remember the last time i watched it, it was playing on loop at the pediatrician's office. the memories, the memories :'-) But yeah, twas a merry time, and hey! my speaker is burning out!! no fair! i want stereo sound! (hit hit) Maybe if i unplug.. hmm.. this is not right. Oh well.

I wonder what next year holds for Mac. They're such sisters now, i wonder what becomes of that. but anyway the movie.. worst voice acting i've seen since i cant remember when.. the emotion was all wrong a lot. Twas fun though. Then i went back to boring boring packing and hanging out with absolutely no one, but luckily Steve called and invited me to his house for dinner and Risk later with a few friends.

We had Haddock (i can't help being reminded of 'the Halibut'..) which was fresh from Glouchester (curiously pronounced 'glosster', for those who don't know). Then i sampled Final Fantasy X and Steve played random music and we did 'name that tune' or something, until John Mark and Dan showed up, 2 high school sophs from his youth group, and soon thereafter highschool freshman Andrew shows up, and then college kids Peter and ugh, i don't remember the name of the other guy, and by that time we had 7 players, so we connected 2 Risk boards, East Australia's and Kamchatka's butted up against eachother, implying connections also between the Alaska's and Argentina's. It was pretty cool.

I remember; John was just staring at some piece across the board and all of a sudden he says, "Hey, when you stare at something really really long, it gets to look wicked weird!" and Peter's like "No man, that's the drugs." And it was a great game, although Peter was really cleaning up, he had both American continents on a board, and was moving across to the other Americas when we ran out of time. Oh well. It took like 4 hours.

I got in and checked up on Hornbeck and Ryan from second floor, Hornbeck hooked me up with some bug-off stuff and whatever, for laVida. I guess i'm a real programmer, i spell things laVida and jDub instead of La Vida and J-Dub. Hehe, idiot me!! :-P Oh well. He graduates tomorrow. That will be so cool. I'm gonna have to go see it; it's held on the quad, you know. Graduating seniors.. I remember when i was a senior, in fact earlier i was just checking out old New York missions trip videos and pictures. Boy those were the days. I can't believe we got the hotel that we did! I can't help wondering what's going on with those guys nowadays. Of course the juniors .. no, the seniors! The P'ville seniors this year are going with the same crew that took us, down to Atlanta. Our juniors are done being seniors now.. now Rob Schmidtberger is a senior. Gasp... wow

That's all i can say is wow.. wow.. "i tell you what, wow!" hehe, heh.. wow.. Well, i think i am over it now.. (3 minutes later) but hehe, Bohall is back.. we started to rummage through the bin, and tried on all these different clothes.. i think we were a little tired and zany by this time. My stuff's in the laundry, i better go get it, then get in bed.

MOOD: wow.

MOOD: really stressed, lonely, dead tired.

It's late at night again! All today i just packed and packed, and i decided i have too much stuff :-P I filled a black garbage bag with stuff to get rid of. Even so I have like 5 boxes apart from the 2 going to Drew. That's a whole lot, mind you. I think next year, i'll keep it to a bare minimum cause i don't like to surround myself with clutter, i decided.

MUSIC: Super Mario Jazz (from my Fuüz Party Mix)

The only other thing i did besides pack today was go visit Chelsea and say goodbye :'-P I dunno why goodbyes are so sad, in our case, it's really not goodbye. But ok, it is. We shall keep in touch through the modern marvel of Post Office and Email and Telephone and default; Hehe, i love translating ideas into Java. Hmm.. I hate thinking deeply late at night..

I went to commencement, where i saw Shane, and Allison, and Joanna, and Sam, and RA Ryan, and Craig, and Bean graduate, and also Chaz, who got his Master's today. for the record this is actually the 19th of May, 2003. In case you were confused over the date. Which you shouldn't be. Really, if there is a javascript thing up top that tells you the current number of days in my life, you ought to be able to View Source it and see how it works, (its so incredibly simple) and modify it so it tells you what the date was at such-and-such a day. Really, the internet is really all open-source, feel free to tinker around with my web page. Learn a bit of javascript from it if you want to.

But yeah.. farewelling all the Seniors was such a great time. I got to meet David Garza de Vega's parents, and his grandma, and the ceremony was kinda long, though it was really awesome. It wasn't so much sad, it evoked the awe of my own graduation, really, except it was like i was cheering on all these other seniors who really are awesome and have gobs of knowledge in their heads and have roughed many dark waters at Gordon. And i was glad for them, it was great knowing them. I wonder if that's a thing with me. I must be able to handle goodbyes better than some, to some extent. I feel guilty about it now :-P But i've always been closer to the younger kids. I'm an older brother for crying out loud to NINE SIBLINGS :-P (The tenth one is 19, older than me, and married in, so i didn't know him as a brother so much). I look up to the seniors and i see examples, friends to me that give me glimpses of what i can be toward the young'uns, the freshmen next year.

Ooo, i'm looking forward to them! Drew is gonna be there real quick with the Wood freshmen, and Rider freshmen, snapping up the opportunity to get tight with those guys, before they fall into that horrible mundane groove that i fell into real early on. Drew will rock the campus. We're gonna build a freakin porch on our building, and if Mac never gets a new picnic table, we'll have to see to that too.

MUSIC: Kung Fu Fighting (punk cover, from my Fuüz Party Mix)

Oh! The senior class of 2003 dedicated the Stebbings Memorial Clock to the memory of Tim Stebbings, and it's gonna be placed up on Nyland-Fulton-Tavilla hill. That will be sweet, i'll be interested to see what that looks like. I should work grounds next year. I dunno. Just a whim..

Thanks for reading this, guys. (it's weird to address the general public, in your journal, isn't it, hehe) And have a ripping summer! Cause i'm leavin, on a jet plane, don't know.. oh sorry...

MUSIC: Leaving on a Jet Plane (punk cover, from my Fuüz Party Mix)

Alright guys, kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me, and stay cool this summer! I hear summers in the northern hemisphere are hot. Hehe, i'm so dumb. This will be the last entry for a bit, due to La Vida, and my upcoming vacation on the beaches of North Carolina! That will RULE. Oceans are my friend, second only to cliffs and rocks and things. Which is why singing beach is so cool. I totally don't care that the sands sing :-P

Gnight, all. Happy Summer. I'll see y'all later!
