June 29

Tonight was a night to go down in the record books, atleast it should've been. Tonight was graduation night, and what a night it was.

The day started out normally enough...I went to work at my new job (did i mention the new job yet?), and worried over what was being done this evening. I made the mistake of asking my boss, Lynn, who is also one of my best friends mother, what time the liquor store closed. I only wanted to get a bottle of rosato bambino (sparkling wine) to celebrate the evening, but somehow my asking turned me into an alcoholic. Anyways, I stopped off at the LCBO (liquor store) and bought a bottle of bambino as well as some REV and a few Woody's. Who knows where the companies find these names?! The plan was that DiggGirl was having a get together at her place, when that fell threw there was really no point to me having bambino.

Graduation was long and boring as I expected, but it was also very thrilling. It turns out I won an award, besides my OAC certificate and Ontario scholar. I won the OAC economics award, and my wallet is $200 thicker now. That came as a total surprise to me, but I'm not going to argue. The rest of the evening dragged on and on and on...until our validictorian's speech. I wish that there was some way for me to let you hear it, or see it. He is one of my best friends and seeing him up there saying the things he said almost brought me to tears even though everything he said was very funny.

He kept reminding us how fragile life is, how short it is and how there won't always be a tomorrow to achieve your goals or to have fun. Hearing him, of all people, saying this made me feel guilty inside...guilty for all the times I put things off, all the times I thought I could do it tomorrow, or later in life. There isn't always going to be that later for me, or for anyone. I never thought of it like that, and although his speech was very inspiring and truthful...it was very morbid and awakening. No longer shall I put off to tomorrow what can be done today (unless it's laundry).

After graduation several of us scurried around trying frantically to find one another and make some sort of plans for the evening. We decided to head to Barrie for a movie, but by the time everyone had gotten to DiggGirl's house it was too late to drive down and catch a movie, but we all insisted on driving down to Barrie anyways. Before we left for Barrie I had a rev and a woody and so did HortonChick and by the time we hit the highway (about 15 minutes) we were both whining about having to pee. We made it there, without wetting ourselves, only everything was closed...EVERYTHING.

A series of events occurred which won't have much effect on anything...like Curly's car being out of oil, Hortonchick and I going to the gas station to pee and such. After we had settled and found everyone, there were three cars of people and one of the drivers insisted on driving below the speed limit so we kept losing them, we managed to all make it to McDonald's for a late night snack. One of the girls in the back of Edgar's car was being "different" this evening and was trying to pick up the guy at the McDonalds drive thru. Edgar made it easier on her by giving the guy her phone number...teehee.

Oh well...it seems boring and meandering but it's three thirty am so give me a break.

Having said that I will never put off to tomorrow what I can do today...

There was something that I should've done today. I should've taken matters into my own hands and not left them in someone elses, right? RIGHT!!!

I can't expect to get something if I don't either tell someone or try to either take it or get it in one way or another. My, this is so vague. That's how I usually am though, vague...and indecisive - just ask Edgar.
