Welcome to the National Association of Properly-Worn Pants
Wow, I haven't updated in over a week. I couldn't tell because my date stamps above the posts weren't showing up. O_O I didn't know that they were dependent upon the site border colour. Oops.

Anyway, I graduated last Wednesday in a spectacularly hand-numbing and dreadfully long ceremony. I think my greatest accomplishment was not tripping as I walked across the stage. I'm sure the audience got a kick out of my bowing to everyone with whom I shook hands. Kind of out of place anywhere but in Asia. ^^;; My English teacher was given an honourary spot on stage, and she gave me the most sincere congratulations out of everyone on stage. She even called me sweetheart. It was touching. I think most of my teachers were kind of sad to watch us go. I saw my biology teacher before the ceremony. He seemed kind of teary. We were his first class of seniors, and he'd taught all of us for two years.

Not much has happened aside from that. I did go to my friend's graduation party and had a pretty awesome time with some of my underclassman friends. I tried my hand at Katamari Damacy and failed miserably. ^^;; I also failed even more miserably at DDR. -_-;; It was a lot of fun nonetheless. But, really, all I've been doing is sleeping until mid-afternoon and playing video games. It's kind of pathetic.

I am excited, however, over the prospect of getting a new computer. My parents' gift to me is helping pay for a laptop for me. My mom and I picked out this really nice one that I'm sure will last for quite awhile. I just realised that this will be my first new computer. All of the others were hand-me-downs or old computers that we weren't using. I will actually have something that I helped customize AND is actually pretty high-quality and not outdated. Very, very excited. :D I also got a home theatre system that my grandfather won in a raffle. Oddly enough, that's how we got the theatre system in the living room. O__o I guess that's the only way we upgrade our televisions and such. ^^;; I'm now kind of motivated to finish my room so that I can set it up. I need to do so before Christmas because he's going to check to see if it's set up the next time he comes over. ^^;;

I decided to spiff up my intro by adding a bit of a VG Cats comic. I was going through the archives and went "Wow, I'm sure everyone feels that way sometimes." Especially myself, being tech support at my house filled with possessed computers. O__o

Well, until next time, everyone.
