Well, the wedding (not the actual wedding, the reception) depressed me a lot, mainly because it was me sitting in the back of the room drinking non-alcoholic drinks while everybody else danced to crappy music.
I just want to leave. I want to win the lottery and go to like... Madrid or /something/. I think it'd be far more interesting than my life currently.
Kinda worried about class registration that's on Monday the 6th. Still haven't done that damn councilors appointment.
I just. Ergh.

And These are the Best Years of our Lives.
Here I sit, in a hotel room in North Carolina at 12:39 PM East Coast, 9:39 PM West coast, writing while my parents sleep-and my father snores-in the next bed over.
I'm here for my cousin's wedding. I haven't seen this cousin since I was roughly three or four, which is forever and a day being eighteen now. This wedding was really just an excuse to get the entire family in one place. The only one we're missing is my cousin Riki. Been here for one full day and I must say, it's been one of the most interesting days of my life.
We're in a hotel across the street from an enormous Mall (Macy's and a Dillard's), with one of the stores being interestingly named "Dick's Sporting goods". My family, I expected this from my immediate family but wasn't so sure about the uncles and cousins, decide that we need to go to Dick's and buy shirts that just say "Dick's" on them so we can wear them to the pre-wedding party and scare the groom's family. Unfortunately, this store is intelligent and doesn't carry shirts that say Dick's. Fortunately, however, they do sell drink cozies that say Dick's. We end up buying about thirteen of those and take them to the party.
But it wasn't until we got back from the party that things start to happen that make me think. From 9:00 until Midnight the entire family (about fifteen of us) hang out in my hotel room and chat about everything and tell stories. My favorite of the stories was when we were talking about my Grandfather (who died when I was four) and my brother and I were talking about how we didn't get to know him much, so my cousin's date decides to take the opportunity to say that we'll see him again someday. Then there is a kinda silent awkward pause and my brother quips "Yeah, 'cause we're /all/ going to hell" and everybody starts laughing to the point of almost crying.
I guess what I'm trying to say is:
As I'm sitting here, I've gotta thing, that there isn't much that really gets better than times like this. I'm fresh out of high school, eighteen, and about to encounter the real world. I'll make new friends, I'll make new memories, and there will be ups and downs. But I know that when I'm thinking back on the great times in my lives, a hell of a lot will come from the past few years. Growing up, hanging out with friends, traveling, telling funny stories with/about my family, and learning while still being a child and being able to depend on people. This is what I'll love, and this is what I hope will continue.
-Peace.

The Three things that have made me cry.
... Well, in fictional stories, at least.
I don't usually get attached to characters enough to cry when something happens. Usually it's just a "aw, dammit, not again!" type of feeling and ranting about it for a while. But nope, these are the three things so far that have really touched me enough to make me cry.
-The end of Where the Red Fern Grows when I was in fifth grade. Dammit, that was depressing, and it was about dogs. I couldn't take it. I was bawling.
-The end of Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core. I went into that game knowing that Zack was going to die, that he had to die for the plot to continue. But nope, When that time came around I was sobbing in the back a rental van in Texas, while on vacation.
-And here I sit, Reading the Batman 687 comic I bought today that focuses around the death of Batman. So far I've known about his death for a few months, and I've never come close to crying for my beloved childhood superhero. But when Superman asked Alfred if he was alright and Alfred's reply was: "Am I 'all right'? No, sir. I am not. My son has died." That just let loose the tears. And then Dick and Alfred Cry two pages after. Dammit.
The only other things that got me close to crying was when Beckett died in SGA, and then in Interstella 5555 when Shep died.
Balls.
-Peace

Wow, It's Been A While.
So, It's been about 3 months. I actually managed to completely forget about this blog until people started putting links in their MSN.
Recap of the last three months.
- Star Trek XI came out. Seen it three times. Want to see it more.
- Turned 18.
- Graduated.
- Been unbelievably stressed out.
- IB tests.
- Prepping for Comic-con by cramming as much Comic knowledge as I can into my head by July 22.
- Can't wait for Comic-con.
- Swimming every day for over a week now.
Nothing really too exciting. Definitely nothing to blog about.
-Peace.
