Ok. If I don't relate it all now, I never will, cos I'll have too much to relate from tomorrow (err, later today..). *g*

Yesterday:
Great fun. *g*
Called the school, asked if I could get a visitor's pass. They asked me for what purpose. "I'm a recent graduate, and I'd like to come visit." "Well, I don't know if they'll give you a pass to just wander around the building.." ..and she patched me through to the *principal's* office, where I began to hear a voice-mail-thing.
I hung up. *That* won't get me anywhere---!
(That's one thing I knew, that if I ran into the principal...I woulda would up ranting for a day and a half, and..yeah. Just woulda gotten messy. So I figured I'd avoid that possiblity. *g*)
Called B. Who, go figure, wasn't there to answer his phone.
Called the band room. Mead was out for the day (*sniffle*), I managed to completely bewilder Tim, who's answered, I think..*laughs*. But once I said who I was, he said no problem, he'd have someone let me in about ten.
Dad drove me up a little after ten...only to find everyone filing out of the building.
Fire drill.
*That* made things interesting...*g*
...ended up waiting until Mr. Lauf (vp, who knows who I am) left the band-people, then, as they were coming back in, I just came back in with them. *g* ..the sub never knew the difference, I sat in an extra seat in the front row, with my flute-section. *smiles*
After that, went to the library with Laur and hung out..then we went to lunch, found and chatted with B on the way...got there, I flipped out at the new cafeteria, with its booths, and the tables taken straight from McDonald's, and it's horrid grey and orange-mauve (that's what I've decided that colour is..and I bet Westby'd agree *giggles*) colour-scheme..*shudders*
On the way out, talked to Mr. Casey some, which's always cool. *smiles* Yay Mr. Casey! ^_^
Back to the library, found Westby on the way, she and I and Laur talked for awhile... (learnt that Becky and I *were* the only ones to get a 5 on the AP English exam last year--! *jaw drops* *then comes back up, forms huge grin* ^_^) ..was just nice...*smiles*
Library, talked to Mrs. Fleming for awhile...then went to MusicWorks class with Daffy...Scott's incredible level of random spazotic hyperactivity never ceases to amaze me. *laughs*
But yeah. So there's the technical-end...
...it was just...*nice*...*smiles* ...everyone knew me, everyone in band was saying hi, asked how I was doing, everything else...so many people said hi in the halls (and some, like Brian, just looked *terribly*, terribly confused...*breaks down giggling at the memory of Brian's face*..*g*)...and, thing is..walking through those halls...I no longer felt like I had anything at all to prove...like...I don't know, it's hard to explain...cos I never really felt I *did*, even while I was in high school...senior year, I was pretty confident. But this time...I was just, like...not even worried about it at all? no, it's..I can't even explain it. But it was a very different thing, *much* more relaxed and comfortable than it ever had been..
...but it was so nice just being there...I'm sitting there in MusicWorks, for about half of the class, Mrs. Rice was going over Baroque music, and Bach, and things...and I *so* totally remembered like, *all* of it from music history last year!!! *laughs* ..was great. *g* (and yeah, I was sitting there, randomly doodling and working on a fanfic. ~_^ ) Got to the "master class" portion of the block, listened to people play/sing...just leaned back on the risers, in the awesome new choir room..and though the room was new, the people were the same ones I'd been friends with (not super-close friends, but friends..I considered a lot of people friends..), the risers were the same we'd stood and sat on all those years...
...I miss the people (students and teachers both), tho not the *thing*, of high school...hearing the bells and all going off for class, hearing the term "hall sweep" again..all that, just made me smile, and laugh..*g* ...but the people...I was immediately just *comfortable* with. Yeah, there were a lot I still didn't know..and yeah, there were a lot I knew that were no longer there...but really...comfortable really *is* the word for it, I guess, it really is...
Love you guys. *smiles*

...came home on the bus, sat with merani-chan (she was all confused with me on the bus..*laughs*..)..got back, Dad took the three of us out to get pumpkins for Hallowe'en...weather was decent, but other'n that, it was about normal *g*...McDonald's for dinner, passed some of matantis' female fans on the way in...*rolling eyes* *g*
...got home, played a bit of Crash Bandicoot racing and things...went online for awhile.....ended up going out to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding with Laur and merani (Daf was invited, but decided not to come..tho I'm telling you, Daffy, you missed both spoons and drag-queen moments XP *giggles*). Both Blake and Laur had seen it, and liked it, and found it quite amusing..and my humour tends to match theirs, so it's all good. ...the movie *was* pretty funny..coulda been the tiredness-aspect kicking in, but I think it really was good. *g*
The old grandmother-lady? *So* reminds me of the gypsies we ran into in Italy. *mad giggles*
So yeah, that was just *fun*.....came back, was on the cpu for awhile again and things... ...ended up talking to both Blake and Josh on aim, at the same time...which was just...strange, for me, y'know? ...discussing the movie, and the new aol smileys, and the usual random and sundry things with Blake...talking about laying in the middle of the road, looking at the stars, but seeing life rush past you so fast, with Josh...*smiles*...*shaking head*.....what kind've a mess have I landed myself in now?
...ah well...again, am not gonna let myself worry too much about it...at least not right now...

Today, merani dragged me outta bed about noon, cos she wanted me to take her down to Eckerd's to buy a present for her friend's b-day, she went to the girl's party later on... ended up watching a few episodes of Weiss Kreuz together first, then went down about 2pm or so...got back, was on the cpu for awhile and things...cleaned, started some laundry..and put on all of my U2 records. ^_^ (For more on those, head on over here... the "Under a Blood Red Sky" one was even cooler'n I'd thought!!! ^_^)
Spent the evening listening to U2, re-reading 1984, and nearly dozing off...got back on here, been talking to a few people, doing e-mail, watched some of the new version of Dune (opinion so far: both the new and old versions have their strong points..tho I think I like the characterizations in the old better, even tho I can barely stand to even *look* at the Harkonnens in that one--! *shudders* ..well, apart from "lovely Feyd", of course.. ^_~)...yeah.
*yawns* ...tired...off to bed in a bit...g'night. ^_^
