...couldn't look ypu in the eye..." I know, too easy, not their best song, but I have a reason for this lyric being here.
School is finally done. I got Friday off for a volleyball tournament which goes Friday through Monday. We're undefeated so far, and judging by our pool tomorrow I'm guessing we still will be
through at least tomorrow. I think our overall record will be 10-1 at least, maybe 11-1, and maybe 12-0 if we play our best. So far, we're 12-0.
I had graduation on Wednesday, which was pretty cool. I got an Honr Roll medal, some Award "from the president" for getting above a 3.5 every trimester since 7th grade and scoring 85% or higher on standardized testing. I got my diploma, and then we had a dance. I normally actually dance with some people, no matter how bad the music is. If I can get dancing with a hot chick, why not? However, it was roasting hot in there, very few people were dancing, and i was exhausted, so I just ate food, hung around, and watched as someone nearly passed out from inhaling helium from balloons. Me an a friend tried to give him more so he would faint, but he yelled in a sueaky helium voice (which he had for an hour), "NOOOOO!!!" and ran away. So close. his eyes were dialated too.
Instead of the usual boring crap i pur in blogs, I figured I'd throw in a little personal matters/problems, as well as a puul an "Al" and use songs to help describe things.
First off, here:

The message of the song is pretty clear, and tons of people go through things like this. And you know what? For the first time ever, I relate to this song more than anything.
First off, in the song, it's clear that the person who's point of view is sung from, is in love, but feels that the person they love is too good for them. This feels true for me right now, and has for the past few days.
Over my years, I've had small crushes and "liked" girls before, but I never truly felt like I had fallen in love with a girl before. That changed the day after graduation. This girl, who's clearly been the best looking girl in the school forever, just struck me during graduation. I had always thought she was hot/cute, but never really appreciated it before. The second I got home, I looked up her picture in the yearbook, looked for a minute, then shut it. I did the same thing half an hour later. Then twice the next day. I don't find anyone else in the grade as attractive as before in comparison. The only problem: she's too perfect for almost everybody. What do I mean? Well, she's a really really cute and hot blonde for starters. And everyone knows that the stereotype for blonde girls is that they're idiot right? Not her. She was one of only 5 people in the whole cla$$ to have had a 4.0 every trimester since 6h grade. Practically a genius. She's pretty nice and has a lt of friends. She's not a b!tchy skank like all the other hot girls in our grade. See what I'm getting at? I feel like I would have no shot at her. I'm hopin some things in high school will help, like begin an athlete, being a musician, also being smart, but I'm not sure. I'm also not very good at asking girls out (embarassing fact, at 14, never have, too nervous), and that would have been with girls who I just kinda liked and thought they were good looking. I'll be damned if I can ever work up courage to ask out a girl who I'm in love with more than i have ever been with anybody. I know at this age you're pretty much supposed to just like girls, and not really fall too much in love, but damn I'm overwhelmed. I probably won't ask her out until at least Sophormore year if at all. I'll see how things work.
You have no idea how much I just got off my chest in that paragraph.
And now a song, that describes end of the year feelings, easily.

Obviously, this about the end of the school year. Although I had trouble with Algebra, which I passed every trimester by a good margin (B, C+, B, the minimum to pass was a C-), I had a great year at school. Unusually school. i hate school, but I actually had some fun this year...sometimes.
On Thursday, we had out trip to Disneyland. And I must say, I was excited, and i had an even better time than I expected from previous trips. We only got on four rides, Pirates of the Carribean, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain (more exciting than I remembered), and Splash Mountain (my favorite ride). We spent a good amount of time at an arcade, where I whooped my friend's in air hockey 7-2 (I'm practically pro at air hockey, considering I saved up and bought a table once, sold it last year), and whooped my other friend's ass in Mario Kart which I later whooped the computer in (I'm also pro at Mario Kart, I win every time). I've only seen a Mario Kart acrcade cabinet once before, and i was joyed to see another one. The rides were just great fun. We had a ten minute wait for Pirates, used a fast pass for Space Mountain which knocked a 45 min. wait to 5 min., had a 20 minute wait for Big Thunder Mountain, and waited an entire hour for Splash Mountain, which was worth it, as I love that ride. Disneyland is definitely the most plain fun park ever, while Magic Mountain is by far the best in terms of thrills. Both my favorite amusement parks.
In music news, I'm grabbing "Pinkerton" by Weezer next week, which seems to rock, even if it is credited as emo. I've come to agree with Shadow that "emo music" doesn't really exist, it's just a fashion fad. I call emo a genre as a way to recognize the bands that are called emo. Anyways, back to my point, that I've listened to demoes, and I have a feeling i'll love it.
That's all for today.
