Today was my last day of high school. I got out at 10:30 this morning. However, more important than the tradition of getting out early, or of signing senior books was another tradition...one much more dangerous...the senior pranks.
Our school is pretty notorious in the area for our senior pranks:
In person In person In person.
I had a friend recently lose a lot of weight. A lot. She says people see what they like in you. They'll see themselves, etc etc. Sunset. She says they won't see you, in other words.
Did she become so callous to her own feelings and what it's like to be her that she causes herself to vomit when she's alone?
In Denver... I went on this ride at Elitch Gardens. It was a 200-whatever foot freefall; you go all the way up this arch thing and you pull your own ripcord. Well, the second time I went on it, I got to pull the rip cord. Suspended in midair hundreds of feet above ground, I felt very in control. Of everything. My life, my thoughts, what I wanted out of life.
USDA officials have recalled 143 million pounds of beef, enough meat to feed two hamburgers to every man woman and child in the United States, as reported by the Associated Press. A video broadcast across the nation showed sickening and cruel abuse of ill, dying, or crippled cattle at a slaughterhouse associated with the recall.
Yesterday morning, as I was cramming for my upcoming Animal Biology exam, the fire alarms at the university went off, first the siren rang, the flashers flashed and then in an authoritative male voice, I was told that 'AN EMERGENCY HAS OCCURRED PLEASE EXIT THE BUILDING. DO NOT TAKE THE ELEVATORS.'
Does anyone remember when it was not so encrypted with security codes and such?
