Events after school..
So! I haven't got a job yet but that is indeed what I need to be doing this summer, if not trying to find some kind of way to get a head start on Japanese lessons.
So here's some crap I did do while doing nothing since school ended.
May 31st I went to my friends graduation at the dome, and saw the most inspiring people for fashion.. and oh.. the highlight.. they were all hot and pretty *squee* x3 So because of that I got really inspired to use some ideas and clothing I got from them and make some drawings of some male clothing ideas I had. I started on 5 of my ideas already.. those of which ended up adding in some female clothing idea as well.. x] Back to the graduation, after screaing inside, to waiting outside in the hot sun, we went out for Japanese at Benihana, then went laptop shopping for her.
June 1st Had been planning to go to a graduation party/ barbecue at a local park, but found out the girl having it was the wrong person from a totally different school.... went anyway, lol!! Saw other people I knew from that school, blah blah blah, along with some of my classmates.. stayed there for like 4 hours. Ate, mingled, ended up stealing an hour of some kids childhood by barging our way in on the playground while they were away, LOL. The jungle gym, the swings, the monkey bars, and this miniature merry-go-round thing that nearly took my youth, haha. Had a blast being a kid. No better time to be a kid than at someone else's grad party, lmao~
June 6th Had an adventure with my friend Kai. So, i've road the train with experienced friends before, but I never have with someone inexperience, which is basically like riding alone. I call that an adventure, because it's like doing a road trip not knowing where you're going.. the same thing we did with the train, lol. So! First we went to a clothing store in the city and got clothes, then a nearby candy store and bought some taffy, some truffles and some maple with pecans in it.. oh it was heavenly.. then we caught the train to our next destination, a shopping area far north of town called Little Five Points. There's a lot of nice strip store and flea markets there.. and nice eateries too. So first we got lost, got on the wrong train, had to go back and we finally made it, almost missed the train.. and omg, i nearly got stuck in the doors D: It was a frightening experience. So we finally get to the station on that side of town, but we don't know what bus to catch.. we finally find out and get there, then we're in heaven all over again. I'm talking about, this place was a small Eden for shoppers. lol. So we nearly hit up all the store. And they had a lot of vintage stuff, which I adore. I'm so mad I never took pictures.. just one. Anyway, so we finally go eat. We eat at this dinner type place where they're famous for ice cream. I got a patty melt out of this world xS So, a full stomach later, we wait for like 40 mins for a bus, meet a cool tourist lady that ended up helping us. :D She was nice. Um.. got to the station and went to our last destination, Atlantic Station, another outside all. lol. Went to 3 outside malls throughout the city. Um.. did nothing there really but scope out relaxing places to chat after seeing nothing interesting to buy.. except like 3 things. Um.. ate seasoned shrimp, looked at the over priced jewelery fair they had going on there. Sad thing, I saw A LOT of things I wanted to buy, but the prices were way too jacked up. I was so sad after that :( Um... after that, we were about to catch a bus back to the station but we would of waiting forever so we ended up walking. Met this real urban afro sentric college chick while waiting. She was awesome. She got us to walk with her. We all clicked really nice. She ended up riding the train with us until her stop. She worked in Atlantic Station. Told us to visit her some time, so I shall ^^ Um.. got home, ate Italian, lol.. attempted to do Kai's hair, failed, said we'd try again tomorrow. Crashed out of pain and exhaustion of being on our feet, running around for 11 hours. :O Next day, stopped by the park and chilled after walking AGAIN to the store for hair stuff. Got home, started on her hair. When we finished we got our day cut short because she had to leave early. We were suppose to make cupcakes and watch Battle Royale (one of the best Japanese thrillers) then do a mini photo shoot. Ugh.. oh bother. Took like 4 pics super rushed just to say we did. Not to mention watching the movie while doing it, lol.
From June 8th-Today Umm.. been killing myself slowly staying up until the next day's afternoon fueling only on Korean and Japanese media, peanut butter and banana open face sandwiches and water. lol. Seriously..
Um.. saying that in detail, I've finished Japanese Drama Absolute Boyfriend, anime Soul Eater and Ouran High School Host Club, caught up from being way behind on Bleach, um.. started re watching anime Blue Gender, started watching Japanese movie Last Quarter, finished part one of Korean Variety show Mnet Scandal with Nichkhun, and watched two long episodes of another Korean Variety show Idol Army. Been through a HUGE phase of FANDOM with new hot Korean boy group 2PM.. after that finally settled a bit, switched over to Korean B5 group SHINee on whom I now favor.. not over 2PM, never, but I'm into them now.. um.. been through kpop music like there's no tomorrow.. listening to great groups and adding new songs to my mp3 player. Watched yet another Korean variety show, Intimate Note, with guests Big Bang. *sigh* Did I mention my nights have been sleepless?? Um.. recently joined like a Japanese version of Deviant Art but way better as it's only for pros.. had to maneuver my way into getting on there.. since I can't read a lick of Japanese.. but it's worth it. Um yea.. spend time lost in translation on there.. and yea.. all that Asian goodness.

High School END
I graduated May 23rd :D Yay.. whoopie and all that shabang. Well.. I didn't get into the college I had been finally wanting to go to.. GA St te, so.. I had planned to go to Georgia Perimeter.. which is a two year school. The whole point in going there is basically to get a good start in. I didn't get accepted to GA State because my test score for the graduation test didn't meet the limit.. missed it by 20.. -_- Yeah yeah.. don't really think those tests are accurate messures of your skills anyway, so who cares. The good thing is, this two year school doesn't require the tests, you just have to have a good enough GPA from school, and that I have. Plus, you can transfer to whatever school you want from there. And since they have Japanese classes there, and it's cheaper and easier, it's like it's like i'm getting a crash course of college like before going to university :3 The only thing now, I have to send them my final transcript so they can let me know i'm admitted in before it's too late :/
Anyway, small update on prom (since i do not want to get into it): failed to do after party plans, but did have my own little party x3 Okay.. rode in a limo with my friends.. had a blast. Just to inform you, me and my date didn't really know each other, me and him (brian) had only knew each other prior because he recently started doing our yard work. Yep.. perfect lifetime story, took the hot yard boy to prom. LOL. Seriously. But we were w ell aquainted before and got a long great, plus it was so last minute since my bitchass ex-boyfriend, turned around and switched dates like 2 weeks before prom. -_- That's okay.. yard boy back up xD
Anyway, the only thing that sorta messed up my prom was, Brian was NOT a dancer. A slow dancer..okay, but when the shake your booty songs came on, which was most of the time, he was not with it :/ Now.. i'm not such a dancer myself, but sheesh, I do know how to follow the beat, and I do know how to move! And it was so awkward leaving him.. ugh.. i should of just went to the dance floor alone.. that way I could of got someone to dance with. Kinda messed up you wanna dance, but your date, who can't dance, won't leave your side, that way, no one else will but in. D:
Anyway.. tell me why, toward the end of the night while voting for prom king & queen, I saw MY name for prom queen. I was like going down the list.. "mmm.. jasmine.. mm natalie.. mm portia... mm.. PORTIA?! O~O wtf?!!?!?!?!?!" Lol.. so naturally, I voted myself and started campaigning late as hell. I mean, if I KNEW i was nominated for prom queen, I would of definately used my salesmen skills and OWNED them. lol. Um.. random.. prom food was gooood :3 They had skewers and shiskabobs, and shrimp baby cakes and chicken, and sweet meatballs and salas and this huge delicious fruit bowl. They even had the home made ghetto punch where you can totally spike it with alchohol x3
So.. after they called the prom queen nominees out and I lost like I knew I would, we left cause we had to turn in the limo, lol. Um.. we went to Waffle House and Brian made up for his lack of feel for music by buying me LOTS of yummy food and feeding it to me like a pretty guy in a romance comedy :D My friends were eating it up.. i thought it was cute and funny. DAMN that food was good.. but also, we saw some guys that graduated from our school last year that we hated (except one hot guy i use to crush on) that kept sexually harassing us. It was funny at first because they seemed so desperate, but it got a bit annoying when they started grabbing at us. I was starting to punch the shit out of one of them. Then it rained so we rushed out, dropped in on an after party, then dropped people off, then went back to my best gay friend's house and chilled watch an old movie. Then I fell asleep on top of my date on the couch. I wonder why he didn't bother waking me up.. -_- Oh yea.. he was liking it!! lol.. we flirted and stuff but then it was like 5 am, so he took me home and stayed over for a drink and headed out. All in all, it was a good night. Oh.. did I say I was going to keep this small? Mm.. got carried away x/
SO! Moving on the last week of school: Graduation practice was crucial!! Soooooo annoying and a lot of waste of time. Mostly because I had to sing in front of a grumpy, rude, chilish, senior class at 9 in the morning for a week, and practise everything else for like 6 hours.
Other things that week including the senior picnic, senior recognition day, and yearbook signing. Those pictures are down below, enough talking x3
