I'm on vacation till Saturday, so I've non-desperately asked my sister, who's actually on vacation with me, to write a guest post.
Jordon told me he was getting desperate, and now I know it. I’m Kristen, Jordon’s twin sister, who should be mentioned more but tragically isn’t. (And yes, I’m older than he is). I don’t really know what I’m supposed to be talking about, but give me a break because the last time I did this sort of thing was when I had a Livejournal back in the day. I’m sort of like Jordon, except a little bit less cynical and maybe not as eloquent. Oh, and I write stream-of-consciousness, as if it wasn’t evident by now.
Well, our graduation was last Tuesday the 29th, and I cannot believe I’m out of high school. It was a long four years and a short four years at the same time. That kind of thing where you want time to fly when you’re bored to tears, and time to stand still when you’re having the time of your life. Actually, graduation was that kind of thing all rolled into one night. I was so excited and so, so ready to leave high school behind, but when we were all together for graduation practice and graduation afterwards, I had so much fun with everyone from my class. After the ceremony, it was so crowded and there was such a rush; I wanted to say good-bye to some of my friends, but, like Jordon said, “That’s what graduation parties are for”. Also, I’m going to miss some of my teachers more than I can even fathom (which is either amazingly sweet or terribly creepy), but I can’t invite them to my graduation party because that would be terribly creepy as well.
And honestly, I don’t feel like I’ve learned much of anything so far, even with my high school diploma. I simply can’t imagine going off to get a job – whatever that means – with all my preparedness that has prepared me preparingly for the work force. But I bet I’ll feel the same way after I graduate college, though that’s the time when I’m really supposed to be “ready” for a job. Truthfully, I never want to be ready for a job. Although I don’t want to be in school forever either. Whatever. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Other notable(?) things: I gave blood for the first time yesterday, all for a free movie ticket. Lord, I’m cheap. Also, I’m currently obsessed with my iPod, which I just got a few days ago – I know, I’m miles behind the bandwagon, but Jordon still hasn’t gotten one. Oh, and it’s a (Product)Red iPod, which donates some of the profits to help prevent AIDS in Africa, so I can pretend to be politically aware and compassionate and philanthropic, all while jamming to horribly superficial songs. I should be packing my things for our cruise which is tomorrow morni- I mean, where we are right now, partying it up.
And since I have no originality, I’m giving shout-outs to the people I’ve loved this school year and who I’d be bored and/or insane without: I love you Lisa and Nathalie!; Jennifer, my in-school twin, who really should go to UF with me instead of UM; Dania, who’s probably eating right now :); Kim and Caitlin, make Pompano High great next year because I won’t be there to do so; Danny and Billy, the twins who Jordon and I have known since we were two(!) and who tore up high school.
I think my fifteen minutes is up.
Oh, I’m supposed to put links and things up: Here’s a picture
of Johnny Depp (yes, the Johnny Depp), who I saw play at a local club a few months ago here in Florida.
