so i went to a midnight showing of eclipse, the third installment of the twilight series in movie form. yes. I arrived at the theater around 9:30, so I waited for more than two hours for the movie to start with a horde of preteen girls squealing, their bodies plastered with sharpie scribbles that said things like "Mrs. Taylor Lautner, Mrs. Edward Cullen, JAY BEIBS 4EVER" and other ridiculous things. I even saw someone with both names, Edward and Jacob, written on her thighs. I was like, honey, you've got to choose, cause you can't have both.
Which incidentally is the choice that Bella has to make in the twilight series; does she want the cold, dead, sparkling vampire, or the warm, sexy-bodied wolf-man?(I think you know who I'd choose).
But really, I'm NOT even that into twilight. i mean, I read the first book and whatever, it wasnt that special. I havent even seen the first two movies, (and i probably never will, because I have been told the acting is absolutely horrendous.. but then again, I like a bunch of disney channel shows, so it should be fine)
so im about to go to my family's beach house for the rest of the week, but i have to write about the funniest part of the movie.
(spoiler alert if you care)
at one point Bella attempts to have Edward have sex with her. (which is creepy because he is dead) but Edward stops her. she asks why they cant do it now and edward says something along the lines of, I want to wait until we are married. silence in the theater. I let out a huge sarcastic laugh. the whole theater bursts out laughing. perfect comedic timing on my part. and then i couldnt stop giggling to myself for the next five minutes it was phenommm.
side note, conte came with us and he was one of perhaps 11 guys in a packed theater. i pointed that out to him repeatedly throughout the night.
well first of all, let me complain that graduation was inside. apparently the rain was way too much for us to handle. (spoiler: it was sunny practically the whole afternoon)
but actually i'm over that now cause it was actually a great ceremony and I am so glad that I am finally a graduate! (and, I will never have to see most of those people ever again)
Oh, so project graduation was actually so fun! Project Graduation is a trip that a bunch of senior mothers plan for the senior class so that we won't drink on our graduation night. (It sounds like a stupid concept, but research shows that a higher percentage of teens die in car accidents on their graduation nights than on any other night!) So this year, the mothers brought us to the New York Hall of Science. Okay, I know that sounds lame... (I was actually secretly hoping that's where we were going as soon as I saw the building, but shhh)
for the first hour or so, we spent time exploring the exhibits in the main room. There was a ton of stuff to look at and a lot of things to do that was hands on. There were drinks and little appetizers. The people who were bored at this point in the night were people who couldn't really appreciate the science by having fun with it. (When I go to science/natural history museums, I usually literally read every single bit of explanation, writing, and caption because I'm very interested in most everything that the museum curators want me to see.
So anyways, for the next hour they let us into the next part of the museum which has more exhibits and a mini golf course. My friends and I ended up sitting in a circle playing mad libs and "chuck fuck marry" for an hour. by this time, most everyone was bored, but the parents assured us that there was more fun on the way.
Then there was virtual horse racing. No, not actual racing. But we had the opportunity to bet on fake horse races, which actually a ton of people got into. Not me. I was pretty frickin bored.
But then they brought us to the 'club' area. there was a DJ and craps tables an roulette and blackjack (We were only playing for fun and prizes, not for money). There was a dance floor and from about 11 to 3 many people were dancing non-stop... well only stopping for food at the pasta, salad, taco, or burger bars, and then afterwards at the sundae bar.
The night ended with a fantastic hypnotist and a sleepy bus ride home.
I had a ton of fun dancing with my friends but literally slept the whole next day. Idk what else to say....
TL;DR graduation didnt suck, project graduation was fun
here's an awesome new mash from dj earworm that I added two weeks ago, and I actually heard on the radio a couple days ago:
temptation, lead me not into the throes of darkness.
lead me away from the life of the blind
all that envy can teach is to reach from behind
steal your faultless flower and leave him to guess
and if i were to choose a direction to lead
we would be repainting all of our signs
and if night were to cover up any bad deed
we'd have to repaint all of our minds
okay so to get the topic off of lame stuff like this poem let's listen to some bing bong brothers.

So my last day of high school was yesterday. I am not taking any finals, so im basically done with school. graduation practice is next wednesday then thursday is graduation.. im not sure if i will be able to make it through without crying. i already cried on the last day of school... and i feel like im one of the only people who is sad that high school is over.
I dont know. Its sort of a bittersweet thing. On the one hand, I am legitimately super excited to go to college in the fall. but honestly, I loved high school, and I am going to miss my friends so so much. I am never going to find anyone the same as them. The group dynamics will never be the same.
Thats really all i have to say
but like since school ended I have been hanging out with the same people as I usually do, and nothing has changed. I know I will be friends with these people for years and years to come. there is no reason that our friendships will disappear, even though none of us are going to the same schools next year. whatever this is making me sorta sad so im going to have to stop.
And I will hit two birds with one stone because it sure beats having to be alone I will cure my endless hunger with a smile and a kiss when you try to hit those birds I'm almost certain you're going to miss because the pebble never flies the way you want it to go we all know you dye your hair and that it's only for show and if you take apart the insides of this crooked machine you will find a little girl who's trying to fix up all of your dreams
by the way this is from BLITZEN TRAPPER'S newest album, out june the eighth Destroyer of the Void. I think it is phenomenal. Listennn
Have you seen the music video to her song Your Love is My Drug? Of course you have, you see everything, God. So you definitely already know that Ke$ha included a dude in her video who looks suspiciously like your son.(beard and all!) If I were you, God, I would be terribly offended. The music video is also considerably "trippy". There is not as much glitter as in some of Ke$ha's other ventures, but that doesn't mean she has succeeded in NOT looking like a complete SKANK. Please help this misled girl, God. She needs your guidance more than any Britney or Lindsay. And seriously. "$" is NOT a letter. Help her soul. We are all praying for her.
With much Love and Concern,
Mari
p.s. Could you tell her that she is probably the least classy human being in the entertainment industry? It just makes it worse that she is trying to be a drunk whore. (thanks G-man)
SO relay for life was last night. I had a lot of fun walking around the track at my high school, eating and chilling with my friends. i ended up walking almost 4 miles during the event, and our group raised, in total, over $2500. Last night, my friends and I must've played Apples to Apples for like two whole hours. then i slept outside in a sleeping bag for three hours before being woken up at 5:30 in the morning to be driven home. I slept until two in the afternoon. Though Relay was most certainly a tiring event to attend, I really would like to participate in this event again, maybe at my college next year.
By the way, this is my song spotlight for this Saturday. I really like Brand New, (if you didnt know already...) and I absolutely love this song. It has such a sad story of two lovers who die together in a storm on a ship, but it also has a deeper meaning that describes the difficulty of letting go of someone who you love and the stages one goes through when one loses a loved one.
tomorrow night a group of friends and i are participating in Relay For Life. Relay For Life is an amazing event whose purpose is to raise awareness and money for people who are suffering and have suffered from cancer. It is an event in which people form teams to raise money and on the day of the event you walk around a designated track with your team, with different laps symbolizing different stages in the fight against cancer. im not sure how the event works exactly, but it is from seven tomorrow night to seven in the morning on saturday. im pretty sure we are going to sleep in tents (if we sleep at all...)
but our team has raised over two thousand dollars for cancer and we are extremely proud of ourselves and are excited that we could be a part of the cure.
this song, caves, by Jack's Mannequin, is a documentation of the lead singer's fight with leukemia. it is a phenomenal song; it evokes so much emotion, and i began to tear up the first time i heard it. i love the piano in this song.. k so listenn
if you have a chance download the album version even though this live version is phenomenal
it was held at this beautiful place in jersey city overlooking the hudson and the new york city skyline, it was absolutely gorgeous
i lovedddd my dress and my friends so of course I was going to have an amazing time
for prom weekend we went to my shorehouse. about ten of my friends and I went down. we spent literally 75 percent of our time at the beach and we all (well most of us) got a ton of color. we went in the water, even though it was probably around negative 8 degrees. we also met up with friends from another house at the boardwalk. it was outrageous fun.
well that was literally the shortest recap possible of my weekend.
so prom is tonight, I am so excited!! and like, i'm not really even as excited for prom as i am for prom weekend, but i actually love getting dressed up so this is going to be a blast!
I get to leave school at 11:35, which is right after my lunch period.
I am wearing this awesome charcoal dress, elegant, yet simple. My mom got me a cute little purse at the mall yesterday while I got my nails done. I got a French manicure and pedicure which cost me a whopping 32 dollars. woah. prom's pretty expensive. but that's okay cause it's going to be an amazing night and an even better weekend! :)
AH I AM SO EXCITED FOR PROM
and it sucks cause my best friend ryan is like not into prom AT ALL. She hates getting dressed up. She hates formal activities in general. Also, she's sort of a funsucker. I made instructions on what to bring to prom and prom weekend, and I handed it out to everyone in my prom group. She flipped out because she thinks i'm becoming some sort of a prom nazi. NOO i just want people to be organized and not forget stuff. That's why I made the checklist and printed out directions to the shore house. not being controlling. just being organized.
whatever i'm not gonna let her be a buzzkill this weekend. I'm ready for a great time!
You know what I absolutely hate? People who act like they are best friends with someone then actually totally act like they hate them behind their backs. The prime example that I see is with this girl in my school i will call "Ann." Ann acts like she is best friends with "Lily" when they are together, but then as soon as Lily leaves, Ann says things like "WOWW she is so effing annoying i hate her." I want to ask Ann why she keeps hanging out with Lily, even though she "hates" her, but Ann is just this immature, two faced bitch who has no right to have friends at all, if she treats them that way. ANN IS THE BIGGEST BITCH I KNOW.
