GRAD NITE

oh before i get into that, the principal who saw me after the ceremony saw me i just glanced and he was like "oh there's the girl!" i was thinkin uh oh.... "*shakes hand very firmly and vigorously* there you are, i didn't get your first name?" "crystal" "*still shaking* crystal i saw you this morning and had no idea who u were, i thought ' that's a girl i have to know'...." "oh well i came here for northview and 9th grade u don't remember?" "*still shaking (by this time i'm worried he's trying to break my hand)* i'm sorry i don't remember you...." wow that was funny. i was terrified he was gonna break my hand because he was mad or annoyed but i asked sonya about it and she said he's always got that type of handshake. scurry. way to make a lasting impression.

grad nite was from 12-6am. it was so great because the bus i went on , #1, had all of the friends i missed the most. i shared the seat with bob, in front was lizbeth, rosa the seat behind was maridelle and alvin , next to us was cerisse, puja , katrina, sonya, justin, cassy....etc.... i'd draw a map but it's not that important lol. okay so the bus drives into this parking garage where he makes this long turn and almost runs into a wall. lol. then he drives out of the garage...okay he obviously didn't know what he was doing... we get off the bus and try to collect a group to go around with. there was sposed to be 9 of us i guess but by the time we got thru the security guard, who was nice about the katrina's spray and my gum (well actually i pretended like i was gonna throw it away but i put it back in :x ) , the group was reduced to Katrina, Yesenia, Latoya, David, Ben, and I. there was a spot to take pix with either mick and minnie or pluto and goofy wit their grad caps on. latoya and i definitely were doing that but the rest of the group stayed back. party poopers.... that was nice we got a pic with mickey and minnie. we hurried over to the Indiana Jones ride cuz we knew the line was gonna fill up. it was better than i remember. of course bob and ben decide to go to the WRONG LINE and they go on a different car. but yeah latoya was getting cowboy on us ridin it like a bull. haha. then we go on Jungle Cruise. the guy was funny. "wait let's see what they're saying.... ' go shorty.... it's your birthday.... ' ". u know the tribe people. pirates of the carribbean was SOO SLOOWW. slower than usuall cuz they had so many boats out. they're closin it @ the end of the summer to renovate and i could understand why cuz the chlorine smell was really strong. haunted mansion was fun i think the ride is just like @ d-world but the outside part of the mansion is definitely diff. in orlando it kinda reminds me of more like a mini castle. thunder mountain was really fun. they actually had a turtle atop one of the peaks! haha. i sat with ben and i didn't really know him but it was so funny what he did at the end of the ride i was laughing so hard!! @ fantasyland we do mr. toad's wild ride and then we all get on King Arthur's Carousel. again latoya and i wanted to do it, but everyone went this time :). i was in front of everyone while bob was all in the back. haha. taking pictures while riding that is *not* easy. the group wit justin and lisa saw us on there and i think were taking pictures of us. ok there were areas where diff radio stations were so that u could dance in that area. power 106 (which is equivalent to 102jamz here) was the most stubborn cuz they had a limit on when people could go in. the guys didn't wanna see if power would let us in yet so they left. we went once before and when we came back they *still wouldn't let us in*...another hour they said... so we went on the brand new Pooh ride. so cute! diff from the magic kingdom one, we stop at a Pooh candy store to get some energy, i got a chocolate lollipop while others got sour and regular gummys...yum. latoya got herself a lil Pooh aww. :) we head back to Power and we bump into another group. so maridelle heads over to "the club" area wit us. previously we all exchanged cell #s in case we got lost. well guess who lost the group? lol. they were finally letting people in and my group was just weaving so quick thru the crowds. well i went in anyway hoping they'd be there and they were lol. it was a big area, where the hunchback of notre dame show is/was. we danced for more than an hour. i had a good time but i think i look bored... i'm kinda used to dancing to that kinda music with guys i guess... well wait let me rephrase that... guys i know. friends i'm used to dancing with. umm ya it was weird to realize: i'm at disneyland... at 4 o clock in morning... in california... dancing with a group of friends that i haven't seen in three years... i enjoyed seeing everyone having a good time. of course there are always those couples practically having dry sex. sometimes they'd bump behind me and it's like aaah, space, need space... can u believe there was no electric slide??? haha. they had good music tho but i was just getting tired so we left. well kat, bob, and i left. we went on the alice and wonderland ride cuz i knew i wouldnt see it in florida. i was so sad that small world was closed cuz just seeing the outside of it is amazing... the ride ain't that bad.... but then we went to Star Tours. no one was there when we went 2 da line but then it almost filled up.after we head back to the bus. the really long walk... i didn't feel that tired but as soon as that bus got out of the lot i was *out*. i put my jacket against the window, i usually can't stand the jolting of the bus, and slept all the way back to the school.
