OK I'm guilty, I haven't blogged in half a month or so @_@
So anyway, I went to Six Flags in Arlington on Monday (the 10th) I was just too lazy to blog about it XD I had so much fun on the rides and everything! Even though I got sick at the end ;_; Too much oil, I got Oil shock. It feels like your brain is swimming in oil x_X But I still had fun. And I painted my hair blue and purple, and Kelly got her hair red, it looked so cool *_* We took pictures and had a great time.
I went to orientation at UT Austin last week on Tuesday, but left on Saturday to go see some family friends in San Antonio first. I am so glad I got to meet them! They hadn't seen me since I was 4, and I turned 18 the day they met me @_@;; And I got to meet their daughters, they're both very pretty. The older one is 14 and she looks my age. I swear, she could pass for being 19 while I look like a 12 year old _-_ Her younger sister is handicapped, I think from bacterial meningitis from when she was a baby. High fevers handicapped her, but I know she is still a really sweet little girl. She's a little younger than my sister, I think. I hope things improve for them...
Austin was so kick ass. I didn't get any e-mail addresses, but I know where I can find these people that I met at orientation. The campus is enormous, the most populated in the country @_@;;, but I love it already! AND WE WON THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES >DDDDD There are so many people there, and I've made friends with them ^_^ And there are so many hot guys up there, it's crazy. Seriously O_O One of them asked me if I would help him out with comp sci, since he's just starting. No way I could refuse >D I mean, he seems like a really nice guy, and my roommate at orientation told me she had gone to dinner with Allison (friend from orientation) and three guys. I met the three while they sat with Jessica working on their course schedule. I was lucky enough to where someone made mine for me *_*;; Anyway, one of the three guys was Ken (the cute one who asked for help). He has such pretty eyes... *stops* OMG This is so crazy. One of the three guys reminded me of Mike! *dies repeatedly* I mean, he sounds like him, talks like him, looks somewhat like him, but it's not him. It's so nuts! @_@;;; I was so close to calling him "linguini" or something, it's not even funny X_x;;; There was a dance/karaoke night, and I went to sing because the dance sucked big time. Fun *_*;;; I kept screaming in the song though because there was a scary clown in the music video, in the middle of the break of the song, I yelled out to the people "Who thinks that clown is scary?" Cue all the MEs and cheers. We're so cool XD It was just too much fun down there! I know I am going to enjoy myself *_*
PANTS SONG!!! >_> Jessllama, we should do that again >D
I leave for India this Saturday for a month *_*;;; But not before one more party!! Surprise b-day party for my friend Angie *_* Oh happy days! It's going to be a blast!
I act like I'm 22. This test was brought to you by Melissa - No, really.... Take it here.
Ok O_o

Too lazy to edit. >P
SAILOR MOON COMES BACK ON TOONAMI TODAY!! HELL YES. This will be the start of a wonderful summer. *_*
And I think I shall watch Hamtaro too. I'm curious to know what Hammy does in her spare time XD
WHOOO! I AM A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE!!! *_*!!!
Time to fill you in since Friday. Friday morning we had graduation practice early in the morning. Yay -_-;; The other side of the stadium would not walk right, so it took an extra 30 minutes to get through the morning. *sigh* That night we went and sat down in our chairs after marching to them. We heard many lovely speeches, especially the salutatorian's funny number. We then were called to get our diploma jackets, the diplomas we got later by going to the concession stand (O_o;;) and walk back to our spots. I was through early because the top 10% sat in rank order in the front of everyone. (I'm 12. ^_^;;) We finally moved our tassles and threw our hats in the air. What a wonderful feeling *_* We ran to our family and friends and hugged and cried and stuff. We decided to meet at Tracy's house to see what we wanted to do. I was the last person to leave the stadium with my best friend, and I drove her to her car, which was all of 5 seconds walking time away O_o;;; We're goofs like that. Well, our old church friend came to say Hi to us, but I thought she parked on the other side of Christi's car, and I started backing out. Oops. Witness the pretty little dent in her driver-side door. So we exchanged phone numbers and now I need to call her. -_-;; We just laughed and laughed at that, but I was shaken. Seriously, I could have barreled though a person instead of a car and I wouldn't have realized it. I couldn't see anything behind me, it was so dark ;_;. Anyway, it didn't help any that Christi's aunt and grandma were in a wreck on the way to graduation, so I need to check up on them. Geez, we've becoming friggin statistics. -_-;;
I got Dad to drive me to Tracy's house, I took no chances. We decided there that we would go bowling. On the way to the alley, we saw a little fair-type thing set up, and half oif us wanted to go check it out. The bowling alley was swarmed with cops and losers anyway, so the other half said they would grab something to eat and rent movies. I got permission to have all 15 or so of us at my house (since my grad party was the next day) and we watched movies from midnight to about 4 in the morning. Then most people went home, but about 8 of us went out to eat at IHOP. Good times people. Good times. My friend Matt ordered french toast with bacon, and I thought that soudned good so I got the same thing. Todd was sitting across from us, and he ordered some bacon and eggs. The only problem was, he said "I want some bacon and eggs with bacon." >D He cracks me up. We stayed outside in the parking lot for a while, attempting to leave but in vain. We all ended up talking for another hour or so, until the sun rose. We finally got home, and I ended up sleeping at 7 AM.
The start of a new day. I woke up at 3, and frantically started getting ready for my grad party. I did get to wear this pretty baby-blue Indian outfit that was bought in Dallas while I was in Austin. Happy me. And then the hordes of people came. I don't even know how I managed to get through the party except for the fact that I got a lot of presents/money and that my desi friends were there. >D So much food @_@;;;
We went and saw my uncle's family off at the airport yesterday. We were the first family to arrive there, but my uncle's family was the last one to board the plane. They were questioned repeatedly by some black guy checking in luggage about pre-registered seats or something. I have never heard of such a system, nor did I see any other passengers get questioned for seats or searched. No offense, but they were all white, and we are not. It makes me wonder just what was running through that man's head when he was interrogating my uncle. I find that very rude and discriminating of that man to pick on us because we look remotely like the "terrorists" we see on TV. If only he knew that our native country was at war with the terrorist-harboring people over a piece of bruised and war-torn land...some people are just fucking idiots. It's a complete replay of WWII. Searching and questioning is not a bad thing, I just disagree with the methods being used. For example, the guy who was deported from NJ back to India for no apparent reason. Which is odd, I'm sure there had to be a reason, but I see no legitimate answers... That really angers me. I just want people to know that I now live in the fear of being exiled from my home to a place I've never known because of the color of my skin and my ethnicity. We were intending to visit relatives in India, but how will we be treated on the way back home? Will we be harassed? Maybe it's paranoia, but this fear was born from what I see and experience around me. It can't be helped. Why don't people do some research before taking action? It hurts to know that the only place I've ever called home is the one place I have to fear.
Blah, first real day of summer vacation, and I'm bumming out already. I think I should go do something fun.
