Graduation amuses me. Because this year was my fifth time to march and sing and whatnot with the rest of the ceremony, I was ready to bring some form of entertainment. I decided to sneak in a mini-sketchpad, a pencil, and a book. Unfortunately, because we have to all wear white dresses and parade before all the relatives and friends attending graduation, there’s no way to carry anything.

I devised a cunning plan.

I banded several hair elastics together and tied them around my upper leg, where it couldn’t be seen under my knee-length dress. My friends were quick to point out that it looked like a garter. Yes, I have pictures. I put the sketchpad on the outside of the leg because it was so flat and small, then I put the book (“The Cobra Event”, by Richard Preston) on the inside of my leg. Unfortunately, while testing this out, it got to be incredibly uncomfortable, so I ended up smuggling the book out under Chungy’s hooded sweater (in the thousand degree heat). Good stuff. Muaha, we have infiltrated the ceremony! Go us!

Afterwards, a big group of us met up with Nancy and went to Chili’s. Good stuff. Then to my house for Men in Black (Chungy had never seen it before! Gasp!), Not Another Teen Movie (::groan::), and Ghostworld (I fell asleep after about 20 minutes, as it was 5 AM). Hurrah. Now I think I’ll have a glass of ice water.
