So, I’ve been continuing to watch the Code Geass series (anime.)
It was Tim who told me about it.
Which reminds me of my dream… I was in the car with Tim, driving to Jiyun’s house. And I remember thinking about all the shit he did, and I wondered why I was in his car in the first place. So I turned to him and I awkwardly asked, “How’s your summer going?” and all of it was just so awkward. And I was in a neighborhood…and I knew, somehow, that it was Jiyun’s. So I asked him which house it was and he pointed it out. I also started to talk to him about the series, and how the character Shirley dies. I told him I cried a lot. (Which I really did.) Interesting.
Oh. I almost forgot. Usually, at the end of every school year I would give a quick over-view of the year. Some thoughts, words, reminiscences.
- There was Mr. Alcindor, the sexy, mulatto, hard-core video game / comic fan & Literature teacher who was slightly cynical and very chill.
- Then there was Ms. Manning, the unmarried, intelligent and extremely sarcastic and laid back History teacher who devoted the rest of her life helping her sickly mother.
- Mr. Middleton. The mole. The pervert, the bane of our existence, the chemistry teacher. I would not like to talk about him anymore.
- Fat lady gym teachers, sexist and egotistical male gym teachers. Whatever.
- Mr. Vodofsky, the photography teacher. Nothing special, really.
- And Mrs. Grotto… the economics teacher with the boisterous-ish personality like Ms. Manning’s. Very funny, whimsical, grandmotherly like. So cute and modest though.
- Ah, Mr. Iannucci. My big brother, my awesome Algebra teacher. He had the stunning ability to really get along with his students…on a non-school level, which I loved. He’s too cool.
- Mr. Kelly & Ms. McClure, the band teachers, the big cheeses of the music program. They conduct pretty well, and we’re pretty damn good because of them.
- Mr. Champagne… Oh dear, I miss him the most. Probably one of the most memorable people I have ever come across in my short existence. Inspiring, entertaining, hopeful, real…he is one of my heroes.
So those are the teachers, folks! I have to admit, when I wasn’t studying my balls off or sleeping for 4 hours, I really felt so comfy in all my classes (except for chemistry, chemistry can die) School was just so…comfy.
Then… there’s Harris’ car and the evolution of his music. I swear, like 10% of my time throughout the school year was spent being in his car and in Tim Egan’s car hahaha. Harris’ car is like my 5th home. I feel safe in there. And he plays awesome music… I wish I could’ve documented the change of his musical preference!
Let’s see. There’s Joe’s house. :) Joe with his GIGANTIC plasma TV, our Halo 3 / Super Smash nights with Joe, Tim and Harris…so much fun. occassionally we’d have other people over, but it was just the 4 of us usually.
Applebee’s. I’m going to seriously, seriously miss the half off appetizers after 10pm with those guys. I love being with all of them…even if i’m the only girl most of the time.
Noodle fighting and being bored: that’s what we did best. Everything was spontaneous, NYC, Dick’s sporting goods, Ice Cream, Video games, Soup!
Borders. Gosh… Borders is still the haven for Harris and I. We still go just to sit and read. We’ve had good times there, studying, looking at weird books, like Would You Rather…? Tazo tea. Books…lovely, lovely books.
NYC. With Rita and Kate! Then with Harris, Orphee, and Pratik. Amazing experiences. :)
Rita’s house and all the fun that brought…
Mexico, Spring Break! One of the greatest experiences of my young life.
Mr. Champagne’s events and his stories, I vow to never, ever, never, forget his stories.
