It's a hallmark day, ladies and gentledudes: it's the first day in the Senior Stretch when I have no projects or homework to deal with and am able to sit down in my study hall and properly goof off. 8D I'm celebrating this momentous occasion by blogging.

"What's the Senior Stretch?" I'll tells ya; it's the final two weeks when we celebrate Prom, Senior Class Day, Commencement Practice, Graduation, and Project Graduation. Booyah!! I'll be helping decorate for prom (which is tomorrow) today afterschool with my buddy Kitty. Kitty went off two years ago to go to a school for the deaf, but her mum is making her decorate for my prom since Kitty wants to go to it. My date says he's going with two girls... *rolls eyes* Whatever floats his boat, I say.

I'm kinda nervous about prom...this is the kinda shingdig that involves dressing up, being socially acceptable, and *GASP* dancing. The problem: serious self-esteem issues, no social etiquette at all, and I can't dance to save my life. Well, neither can my date, so this should be interesting. *smirks* Maybe Kitty will agree to dance with him.

Something else that's buggin me about tomorrow: every single day for the past week, my date's family has changed their minds about what vehicle we're taking to the prom. Cuz you see, up here the girls are wicked obsessive about their clothes, while the guys thinking up the coolest or wackiest way to get there. So far, we're gonna either take a tractor, a Gator, a truck, or (Plan Z) my lil green Nerdmobile. I could care less, would rather walk but I live in another town.

Graduation day, wherefore art thou??? T_T

I've kinda shocked myself by saying that, considering I'm one of the most depressing people I know (dammit, I'm sitting at the squeaky computer again...), but life is pretty good right now. Let me explain why: when I get home, I'm gonna be alone with my mom for six hours straight. I've NEVER been alone with my mom for that long since I was five...I'm SO psyched! Ya see, I'm pretty close to my mom...we get along all right on a good day. Well, understandable considering for the first five years of my life, I didn't have a father or siblings. Granted, I love my lil sis, but it'll be nice to spend some quality time with Mum. Also, we might eat out; I'm gonna try to convince her to eat at Pizza Hut or some other really good pizza joint. 8D

The only downside: my sinuses kicked in during lunch and I can barely breathe. I'm hoping the full-blown attack will hold off til after supper so I can taste. Pleh.

I'm struggling with the ex-beau; I think I rubbed off on him, and not in a good way. He's turned into something of a jerk, whoop-de-effing-doo. Me and my mum are cursed when it comes to men.
