well. yesterday was my last day of high school ever. it was a little weird but exciting at the same time. as much as i hated that place, i know nothing else. ive been thinking a lot and its just weird. for almost as long as i can remember, ive been in school. everything i did revolved around it. now, im done... and its kinda like i dont know anything else. but i know probably everyone goes through this and i will move on, its just some feelings ive been experiencing that i felt like sharing. ANYWAY, its been an awesome couple weeks. two weeks ago i took the amtrak to orange county to stay with my friend for a few days, it was fun, parties and whatnot. we went to this venue, ate dinner and saw a Doors cover band which was pretty entertaining. (basically some middle aged fathers dressed in leather pants playing The Doors songs.) last friday i went to see the Aquabats at House of Blues, they were great! (second time seeing them, it just gets better) then um i went to school took finals.. my final grades were B, A, B, B, C, A.... not that impressive but good enough for me, probably some of the best grades i got all high school. haha. so i got all my credits which means i get to walk in graduation. the ceremony is one week from now so i get the week off until then. um last night was such a good night! ok let me set some foundation for the story. so for the past 3 years me and ALL my closest friends all hung out at my good friends house. we've had so many good memories, so many fun times. it was all our "place" you know what i mean. so much stuff has gone down there. but things started changing and soon we werent really going over anymore and the house was getting remodeled and there were some differences among some friends so eventually we stopped going there. and i felt a certain emptiness. i mean i loved everyone there but now i hardly see them, because everyone does their own thing. well last night all my friends went to see The Faint at Soma (second time seeing them) it was AMAZING! there were so many people and i never danced so hard in my life. i had more fun this time seeing them because i danced WAY more and didnt give a **** what people thought, i just went off. and me and my friends would find each other in the crowd and dance, it was awesome. it was a great show, met some cool people, it was cool. so after we get out we're all pumped and happy we all decide to meet at the house we used to all the time. so we bumped the music just like yelling at people on the streets, singing to them, talking to people in other cars, just messing around but it was fun. we get to the house and it was so fun. we all just had a great time singing and dancing. we just talked about everything and made jokes... it was everything i missed, i felt happy again. they mean so much to me and to see everyone together again was just so great. it was just like old times. we had nothing to drink so we just popped open a bunch of wine! hahah it was funny but it got the job done. and the night ended the same, my friend got too drunk to drive so he generously handed me his keys and i gave everyone a ride home! haha i had an awesome night and its a good start to the summer....

ps. i painted a new canvas. and this girl from my school wants to buy it for $100 bucks! pretty good start for a starving artist.
