I just got home from playing the Wii with some friends. It’s really quite amazing how much fun the Wii is when you get to play with other people. It’s quite unlike other game systems in that aspect. Some people just don’t “get” the Playstation 2 or the Xbox, but when you pull out something like Wii Sports or Rayman Raving Rabbids, they love it, even people who don’t normally like video games. Anyways, we all liked the raving “rabbids”. Truly insane and hilarious.

Tomorrow is my last day at home for awhile. I’m heading back to KSU on January 15th and school starts on the 17th. Winter break has went by so amazingly fast I can’t even believe it. I have to say that I’m both happy that semester is starting again and a bit sad. I do get bored when I’m home with nothing to do, but a new semester brings new stress and anxiousness. Not to mention I really would like to lose some weight this coming semester, but I’m a little unsure about how I’m going to balance trying to do that while working and doing school. We’ll see, I guess.

I’m going to a friend’s “game-a-thon” later tonight - at 7PM, to be precise. It doesn’t end until 6AM, so we’ll see how it goes. At least I’m feeling a little better. We’ll probably play Wii Sports, Halo, Guitar Hero, and who knows what else. I’ll probably be the only female there, but oh well. I’m used to being picked on.

Tomorrow I’m going out with some friends. “Going out” might not be the right word choice, however. I think we’re going to play Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii, but I’m not sure what else. Last time I went out with Michelle we ended up doing some pretty crazy things, for us, anyways. It was after my graduation party and we went with Jake and Candace to erm… partake in friendly house decorating. With toilet paper. And a TV.

My best friend and I heard about the fantastic Quadrantids meteor shower this year, we resolved to go out and see it. So we both dragged out our telescopes and headed out into the cold (30 degrees Fahrenheit, but with wind chill it was more like 18 degrees). Erm… we didn’t end up seeing anything. I was more than just perturbed. I had went out there in my canvas Converse shoes and 4 layers of shirts/hoodies/coat and I didn’t see a single meteor. I did see a plane, which I guess is close (if it had been on fire and streaking down from the sky, but it wasn’t even doing that.) It was also a bad premonition in the first place because my telescope was being ridiculously hard to put together. I had to take the legs and such off so that I could fit it in the carrying bag, but when I got to my best friend’s house, none of the lenses fit correctly and somewhere along the line we had screwed up putting it together because we couldn’t even see out of it.

So, erm, yeah. Stumbling around in 2 feet deep snow in the freezing cold trying to see an apparently non-existent meteor shower. I did get some great pictures of my friend and I while we were trying to keep warm. I’ll post them later.

Ick, I guess you could call me blog-orexic lately because of the fact I hardly blog. It’s not really that I don’t want to, but just that I don’t really think about doing it like I used to. It used to be like, “oh wow, I’ve got to blog about this later!”. Now exciting things happen but I hardly write about any of it. I hardly even posted about my fantastic trip to Chicago.

My best friend (Wrylie) is out in California visiting some relatives and we all miss her very dearly. So a friend (Jake) and my sister (Candace) all went to random places around town with a sign we’d made that said, “Come home Wrylie!” We went to all the places that Wrylie hangs around and took pictures of us holding the signs and then posted them on Facebook. I really need to get a Flickr account to post all these things on as well, but it’s just not been my top priority. Anyways, Wrylie really loved the photos and she’ll be back on the 8th of August. Wonderful Jake, Candace and I also stopped by the famous Hooters while we were out. The food was great, as usual, and we even got the fries free because it took them 30 minutes to get them to us. Jake decided it’d be funny to take a menu and a jar of hot sauce, so now Jake has some Hooters souvenirs. I can’t get over how funny it is that Jake now has a Hooters menu in his basement.

David and I have been hanging out a lot lately, not that I’m complaining. Yesterday we played lots of Super Smash Brothers (SSB). I even came within 50% damage of beating him, but alas: no. I did beat his brother, Steve, though. That was a really glorious victory. Random SSB fact: my favorite character is Kirby.

I’ve been messing around with At0mica a lot lately, of course none of it is stuff anyone would see as I have yet to deal with putting any of it up yet. I’m desperately trying to make a new layout. I had one made and then… I decided I didn’t like how I’d made up the navigation, so I abandoned it. It’s a really nice layout, however, so to at least get something out of it I may sell it… or put it up for a free Wordpress theme or something. Of course, being a poor college student now, any money is nice. We’ll see. I just can’t ever find something I really like for a layout anymore, I guess maybe I hold my standards too high for my layouts on At0mica nowadays. Or something. Who knows?

I have stuff to work on so I’ll cut this short. At least this is a post, right?

Today was my official last day of high school. (Unless you count May 24th when I have to come back and take the AP Government exam that was postponed due to the flooding here in Northeast Kansas…) It was melancholy, to say the least, I’ve spent 13 years with some of these people and it’s just sad to think that I might not see some of them, if ever, again. (To those in-the-know, I’ve posted Facebook photos of all the photos I’ve been taking recently.)

I’ve been doing a lot recently, as far as social things go. My graduation party is tomorrow (and again, for those in the know, come on over! There will be food, fun, and uh… lots of OMGZ pictures.)

I went over to David’s house after school today to play with his birds. I completely enjoyed that - will have to post pictures here, but that’s more or less an empty promise right now as I never get around to such things. Anyways, his birds are wonderful. I just wish they liked me more. Apparently I’m a very, very scary person to them. I don’t care, I’ll try to pet them anyways One of them flew right onto my shoulder, it made me so happy. It was the funniest feeling having a bird hopping around on your shoulder.

I ended up calling up Wrylie and Jake and then Candace and I went and picked them up, and then went to Best Buy and Sonic. (That was a really badly worded sentence but I’m far too lazy at the moment to fix it.) Anyways, it was a good time. I purchased a Sansa e250R MP3 player with the graduation money I’ve got so far. I’m really enjoying it. I just need to finish uploading all the stuff to it. It’s just so sleek and shiny, I enjoy just playing with it Anyways, I got lots of pictures of all of us messing around at Best Buy and Sonic, including one of me riding the electric pony thing. I got a picture of Jake riding it, too. Yay! Photos!

I really don’t know what to say anymore. I graduate this Sunday… my party is tomorrow… and there will be lots of parties between now and Sunday besides mine that I’m going to. Fun stuff. Exciting, yet sad stuff. It just makes me upset to think of all these people that I’ve been spending so much time around and that I probably won’t be seeing them. At least a lot of us are going to Kansas State University next year so that will make the transition a little better. I know I’ll be back to see Jake and Wrylie frequently.

I don’t know, it’s just sad, but these things have to happen, I guess.

On a sidenote, I’ve already preordered my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (Book 7) from Barnes and Noble. I’m going to the midnight book release [insert geeky smile here]. I’ve also heard a snippet of the Smashing Pumpkins’ new single, Tarantula and I’m liking what I’m hearing. Very nice.

I’ll see you kids around.
