I'm going to try to get as much stuff down as possible here.

This is for Aleia:
So, I met this girl who is pretty crazy. She keeps flirting with me and coming on to me all the time, and I'm one of those people who take what they can get when they can get it. What I ended up with is a really clingy friend. I blocked her on AIM already because she's so annoying. She's okay in person, but I can't take "Hey, how are you? Why aren't you responding even though you are away?" going on all the time. Get a life.

Okay. Party. I didn't take any pictures for myself, Nikita did. Nikita's hanging out with a friend or something today, so I don't have pictures yet. Here's the blow-by-blow:

Cecile and Joe got me one of those electronic parrots that repeat stuff you say back to you. I know you know what I'm talking about. This one is cool though because it's in pirate get-up. Nikita got me Vol. 1 of D.Gray-Man, a manga. It's pretty sweet.

Roger gave me a "box of dreams" which could be translated into "box of Roger's shit" which included Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, Pokemon cards, instruction manuals to games I don't have, baby pictures of Roger that he wasn't aware were in the box, an epic birthday card, and 20bux. More on the box later.

Will ended up never showing up, so the "crew" didn't happen. Hannah drove a bunch of people including Nikita and Daniel here, and the cuddling began, haha. I got real close with Hannah by the end of the night.

Brian from a local metal band, Icarus, called up, saying their show got canceled and they wanted to play at my party. They showed up first and brought their PA system. The Sibling Project came, then the Wolverines. The Wolverines came in as Roger and some others found the $20 in the box of dreams and they started celebrating loudly and the Wolvies were pretty weirded out, I think because they thought the kids were celebrating because of their arrival.

The Sibling Project put on a really cool show, everyone danced. Stephanie's mom apparently owns a recording studio and so she got the Sib's contact info and she wants to get the signed, that's pretty freakin' cool. The Wolverines came on and played an amazing set, I think they actually practiced before coming, which I'm not used to! haha

We went outside and made prank phonecalls to some of the people who couldn't make it to the party. Joe tried to eat a Yu-Gi-Oh card that was a cheeseburger fusion monster, I think it was literally called Angry Burger or something to that effect. he spat it out. I told him he should finish the job, but Roger beat him to it, he ripped the card into pieces and swallowed each piece. It was agonizing to watch. Then Iracus played and it was fucking loud. We were all too tired and unfamiliar with the band to really get into it, but it was cool, man.

When we were making the prank calls, Roger and DeShawn were apparently writing a song, they came on after Icarus with the microphone and sang the following:

I saw you walking down
the street the other day.
And I swear to God, you were
the one who turned me gay.
I masturbated by myself the other night,
but unless my hand is your bum,
it doesn't feel quite right.

There's more, but I think you get the idea. It was interesting.

Joe got a chair and his busted-ass acoustic guitar with a missing G-string and sang about earthworms then left with Cecile.

I brought my guitar down to jam with Jordan, the drummer I talked about in an earlier post, but we got a few licks in before everyone disappeared.

I woke up feeling awful today, but started feeling better eventually. Tomorrow, Allii is modeling for me on the top of a parking deck so I can draw her with the Greensboro cityscape behind her for an art project. Tuesday is my actual birthday, and I will be spending it by seeing V for Vendetta and discussing it at UNCG for UNS cred. The BRAINZ zombiewalk is Saturday, and I'm looking into hanging out with Hannah either Friday or Sunday.

So I'm having a pretty fucking cool life right now.

I got a new old guitar amp that's about knee-high as well as Halo 3. Halo 3 is kind of lame so far and I really fucking hate the ally AI. I'm up to the part where you first get Warthogs, I took the back turret and within one minute of action, my warthog's driver and the other warthog crashed into eachother and killed me, out of nowhere. The amp is really cool though. The funny thing is, the day we got the amp, I got asked to form a band with my new drumming friend, Jordan. So looking on into the future makes me happy.

I'm half excited and half bummed out about my party. Neither Brad, Elisa, nor Siarra can come, which I kind of expected but they made me feel optimistic about it anyways. Also, about half of the people I invited never got back to me, that fucking hurts. Bands are playing in my house but I can't take good quality videos to document it. The food that my parents got me all excited about turned out to be... Sam's Club pizza. Wow.

Also, tonight is full of manual labor and writing papers. Fun.

I hate what my friend Will is turning into. He was my best friend but I just can't see it anymore. He reminds me of a mafia boss or something. 'Yeah man, we're brothers, but if you cross me and my family it's the concrete shoes."

He wants to come to my party with a "crew." Hasn't said anything about them other than that they'll be pissed that my party is a dry one. It sounds like a LOT of people too, at least 10. I don't like them already.

Why does something like this always have to happen when I just want to have fun with my friends?

(If I had to stop to think about who I have left for a best friend, i would cry.)

There's some really stupid things I have to deal with for being absent on what was apparently one of the most important days for some of my classes. My partner for this Sociology project dropped the course without even mentioning doing so to me and I've been playing email tag with that professor. I was supposed to finish a novel that I wouldn't have known to finish (I read 20 pages to be safe but there's still like 100 more), get books out of the library, and write a draft of a paper on the book. Uhhh... help?

I'm getting more and more excited about my party as it comes up. I've been pretty fearful about it because for some reason I didn't think anyone was going to show up. So far I have about a dozen, plus some very strong maybes. Will will be there, Thomas will be there ("you are a worthy foe"), Nikita, Britt, Roger... It's a really solid group of people, even if it's looking like Brad can't make it up here. And of course, there will be the two or three bands.

Also, I made this today:

Search Party

It's going down on November 10th, I'm planning it all on my own (since I'm an adult now, my parents said). It'll be like my graduation party except stuff is going to work this time and the Wolverines are going to show up for it.

My high school friends (if they still actually like me!) get to meet my college friends and vice versa and it'll be one big (or small) friendgasm. For the sake of the bands playing, I feel like having a big crowd, but at the same time, I kind of want (or at least I only expect) maybe ten people. I don't know. I don't know where I stand with any of my HS friends because none of them seem to want to talk to me, I assume they're all sick of me. I'm over it.

So uhh... I'm excited. Kinda.

The party was incredible, and I feel bad for people who weren't there to witness the whole thing. Tarantuloco played an awesome set (but they didn't have microphones, so it was better appreciated as an instrumental performance. It's a shame that Wolverines couldn't make it. Their drummer lives two hours away and ended up having a wheel blow out.

There was a really good group of people at my house, but we were expecting a lot more. Aside from some really close friends who couldn't make it, there were some who mysteriously never showed up or even tried to contact me. We did a lot of fun things though. We destroyed some furniture, Brad and Jared got a little wounded, Joe played some songs like in Cecile's party, we put Joe in a toga, we're donating the rest of our furniture to Greg for his dorm, and of course before we donate it we have to have like a million orgies on the sofa.

I got a hell of a lot of money that I have no idea what I'm going to do with. I think I'm going to work on my movie collection a little. I don't own a lot of my favorite movies, which is just stupid. I at least need to get Buffalo '66, I saw it once when I didn't have any money with me, and I never saw it in a store again. I guess I'll just snag it from online. Also, Phoenix Bodies has the new CD + DVD set that came out yesterday, I need to grab that.

And uhhh... my parents gave me $10,000 to put towards a car and college stuff. Holy shit. I need to get my bank account functioning again. I also need to go on a job hunt tomorrow, even though it's probably really late to start doing that, I just haven't had the time.

There ceremony was fun too, that's the only thing I have pictures of, so far. Unlike last year, I was kind of being rushed around by my parents, so I didn't really get to enjoy seeing all of my friends after getting our diplomas. I basically had enough time to talk with Siarra, Allison, Beth, and Steven while wandering around looking for Elisa and Kristen.

Hmmm, well, yesterday was a success. I kinda wish I planned the party for tomorrow, or next Saturday, just so more people could stick around. But it's okay, it's summer. I'll be seeing all these people again.

So, guys, what should I waste my summer doing? I'm already painting stuff for everybody, I'm still working on that fucking Pokemon Diamond, and I really need to learn how to park cars, but that's all that I really got going on.

Oh, and I'm going to a student orientation thing at UNCG for the 14th and 15th. Lame. I need to go set up my UNCG email account (and get in that Facebook group with it!)

And I'll take pictures of the new living room furniture once it's all in there.

I need something in my life to go right.
NOW.

None of that wait-and-see bullshit.
I want instant gratification.

I'm just really pissed off at everything.
Siarra hasn't called.
Will can't go.
Xbox is dead.

And I fucking spelled it out to (you) and you still haven't gotten it.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You're doing everything I said I don't want you to do.

Thanksgiving break sucked. Except for Saturday. And half of Sunday. That giant moment was quite possibly the most meaningful moment of my life.

Highlights of the party:

Setting up the X360 to play downstairs was a pain in the ass. Will saw the whole thing. It took me and my dad half an hour to figure out how to get the video through the TV, but the audio to come out of the home theater system. Once it worked, it was amazing.

Will was the only person who came on time. I think everyone else was at least 30-45 minutes late.

Joe stole the party. Will also kind of did.

There was a group of us that bonded extremely well and were constantly crazy, then there were a short few who were extremely quiet throughout most of the party.

I thought everyone would be bored within two hours of my party starting, technically, it lasted until noon, Sunday. No one was really bored at all, but there were moments where we stood around talking about what I had planned next. I had nothing planned. I figured that with 17 people in the room, the party would run itself.

It did.

We played games for a few hours. We ate. Will, Brad, and Joe traded off stories in front of my camera. We watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail (it was a vote). We thought about what we were doing next. We looked at theaters to see if there were any movies we went to see. We decided to go to Blockbuster. We didn't rent anything, but ended up discussing where all of us would branch off and get movies from. They brought Eurotrip, Sin City, Just Friends, Ong Bak, and several other movies over. We watched Eurotrip. People started leaving. Will and Joel stayed for the night and left around noon.

There was a 10+ person pileup on the couch that started as a Rachel sandwich.

Dad put a candle in my cake and then Will said "Wait! I think I have candles in my car!" He ran out and came back with a '1' and an '8' candle and put them in the cake. He didn't even know why he had them. What the hell.

Brad gave me a Playboy magazine as a gag gift. Michaela had to leave at like 5:30 to go on a date with Nick. Nick lives right down the street from me. The plan was either to have Michaela give the magazine to Nick (she was completely willing) or that one of us stick the magazine on his windshield. We ended up doing neither, as when we got to the house, we all thought that the other person grabbed it and it was still at my house. XD So basically, Michaela rang the doorbell and the handful of us that came with all shouted obscenities at him from his driveway and bolted home. It was liberating.

Me and Joe pretended to be gay lovers for the whole night. Right in front of his girlfriend, Cecile'.

My parents learned that Will can rap.

Will, Joel, and I all stayed up very late to fill in the gaps with stories. The three of us haven't been able to talk at length since forever ago.

That's about it.

In my pictures, I uploaded a few senior pictures (I picked my four favorites, they all look awful to me). There's also a draft of a picture I'm working on in oil pastel.I am never using this brand of pastel again. They're so hard to work with and I got a blister from trying to make them cooperate.
