So, as of yesterday I became a graduate of the class of 2006. Best feeling EVER.
We came home and had a party, and after a few hours, I was ready to leave on our GradNight.
First off, I drove the new Stang. Didn't stall it once. :) Pulled up, said my goodbye to Brenden, and waited in line for the pat-downs. Got on the charter bus, where I talked with Charley [my friend] and watched The Longest Yard while drinking water, and arguing about the bathroom behind us. We took a lot of detours through Tacoma and Seattle, and about two hours later, ended up at Champs Karting in Mill Creek.
So, at this venue I got to go gokarting for the first time ever. I learned super drift action, and that they only put brakes on those things for the kids that can't drive! I got 3rd and 1st on my turns through the line. I also got three Henna tattoos. They were free, so I couldn't resist. Pizza, dancing, glow in the dark necklaces, lounging, free pool and air hockey, video games.. All from 11:30 until 2 in the morning. What a blast!
Then we all got back on the bus, and this time I was sitting next to the oh-so-attractive Aarno, the exchange student from Finland. The chaparones handed us candy leis, and even until now, I've only had one piece of mine.. We talked of our cars, mostly my new '06, his T-Bird, and my dad's Firebird with atleast 500+ horsepower. Also, the british show Top Gear, and how he's seen atleast 10 ferraris. We ended up at a bowling alley/lounge at about 2:30 in the morning, and unloaded again.
There was bowling, gambling, about 30 pool tables, a bar, karaoke, and one of those really cool rides you sit in, and they spin you around, upside down..
Then, I got hypnotized on stage with about 5 of my other classmates. It was crazy! I remember relaxing, and my legs and arms becoming really heavy. Then, leaning my head on the shoulder to the guy next to me, and.. that's it. I woke up, and everyone was laughing and I had napkins stuffed down the front of my shirt? :scratchhe I don't know.. But, It was 6 in the morning by now.
As we got back on the bus, the parents had made us all blankets! They are green fleece, with a little black circle in the corner with our school mascot, school name, and 2006. Aarno and I talked for a few minutes before we both fell asleep. We were about an hour and a half away from home by now. So, just outside of Port Orchard, our bus overheated. Great. Ten minutes or so of sitting on the bus, and we were on our way again, and asleep. Got back to school at about 7:30. When we got off the bus, the parents handed us an envelope with 30 bucks in it!
Then, I crept over the Mustang, got in.. and fell asleep. I've been sleeping since about 8 this morning. I guess that's what I get for staying awake for 24 hours!
But thank god, I'm a graduate.
