Yup. I gave in to the pressure of wanting to comment on my friends' blogs.
(KB, you're not allowed to think I did this just because you did. You were simply the (red-haired) straw that broke my camel's back.)
So, yeah. Come see me.(This does NOT mean I'm leaving Xanga. Too many awesome memories for that. I'm just exploring a new atmosphere.)

Hill Abbey 2008
Verbal snapshots (pictorial ones coming later)...
Bagels and "Hitch" in the Denver airport...
My coffin-sized Running Away suitcase (I wanna BIG one!)...
ChrystOStom? CHRYsostom? ChrysosTOM? Chrys?
The airplane struggling to stay in the air (and consequently falling off the air mattress)
And speaking of that air mattress...it hated me.
The Chikkin Help and the Supreme Chef!
The hummingbirds gathered information for the cows, who got the news that I had arrived and planned a grand coup...
Parker and his favorite snack...
Faith and I like music. A lot.
Dr. Steve the pyromaniac...
Getting attacked by a vampire...
Pitting cherries. For two whole days...
Chapstick: a got commodity...
Hot cocoa with my roomies!
Hannah and her alarm clock (*falls off air mattress laughing*)
Peanut M&Ms!
Woodehouse. Almost an overdose of him, in fact.
Rolled in a blanket by the fire with Faith and Hannah, watching the Emperor's New Groove on the barn wall...
Nunneries have varied (SCARY) effects on people. 'Nough said.
Swinging on the swings and the Moscow farmer's market with Abbie and Cristina...
What's the fastest way to get to the cemetery? Die.
Abi and her stick. Yikes.
"You look so dumb right now, standing outside my house.."
Disguising myself as a moose to escape the bears and wolves...
The Godfather...
Canoeing with Liz and Kate in the river (quick, there's a rock! LET'S HIT IT!)
And with Faith on the lake(sharks! weeds! water demons! HAWKS!)
Donuts and cinnamon rolls...
Singing in the car - and the living room - and everywhere.
"Stop and stare, I think I'm moving but I go nowhere..."
Spectacular storms sweep the Hill...
"I may vomit."
Overdosing on cold medicine. Not a cool feeling.
Flying into Houston in the dark, with the lights of the city spread beneath us...
and finally...
home.

Graduatedness Pictures
Owing to Facebook's overwhelming aliveness, I fear I've rather neglected poor Xanga. However, I intend to make that up by posting pictures of graduation and surrounding activities here *before* I put them on Facebook. So, here goes.
Firstly, the party (I only ended up with one picture of the ceremony, and my face is not worthy to be seen by the General Public. So we're starting here.) Pictures taken by a collaboration of peeps on Clara's amazing camera. Because mine is AWOL.
(oh, and excuse my amateurish photo editing. Ignorance is no excuse for lack of action. I kinda went crazy with some of these.)
So, that was the party. We kind of danced a lot.
Then, the following Monday, a vanfull of my Schola Great Books 4 classmates and teachers headed down from the frozen north to continue the party. Since there were so many grad party pics, I won't post as many of these. They're kind of scary, anyhow. *grin*
And there you have it. I am thoroughly graduated.

Prince Caspian (Narnia)
By C. S. Lewis
see relatedMuch Things.
Thanks for all your prayers! The audition was not my best ever, mostly because I started out my piece way too fast. This made for an iffy performance and also a short one; double time tends to make it half as long, see? Anyhow, I didn't end up with the scholarship. But that just means I have to work extra hard this summer. I'll probably live.
Good news? I don't have to live in the dorms.
Which is actually bad news for that needy child. :)
(I don't know why I'm reading this book. Probably because I like disappointment and pain.)
