a commencement, of sorts...

tonight was graduation. putting aside the feelings of pride (for my kids who are graduating - ALL of my seniors) and sadness (that some of the most awesome kids i know won't be an everyday part of my life anymore), it was really an interesting ceremony. some funny things that happened during tonight's "royal" event:

1. faith & seth turning "pomp & circumstance" into both a remix and a porno - true talent in action
2. principal turning security on parents, friends, families, etc. of graduates when said groups decided to cheer for their students. general rebellion on all parts.
3. teachers divided on the whole "cheering during the roll call" controversy, light spatting during ceremony
4. the big G bringing matrix sunglasses to wear during the ceremony (coordinated, of course, with his faculty-matrixesque robe)
5. six teachers piling into one car, driven by faith, who was "riding low" according to students who assumed all teachers were going out clubbing
6. faith is called "the most krunk" teacher at GHS by students and faculty who are obviously unaware that her social life basically consists of word puzzles, drinking and smoking with friends, and chatting online with boys who are content to disappear for days on end with no word.

yesterday's amusement:
showing up at class night buzzed on margaritas. woo hoo! class night, however, was a total buzz kill with all of its stiff formality (and the level of dressing up apparently required). my jeans and i took our asses home during awards (which is when we arrived, too).

p.s...
i did not get laid tonight. nor did i attempt to, since i was in the wrong audience for that kind of action. this is a new orleans weekend, so maybe that will change.
