Hey!
Today was the first time I've ever been out with friends > 500 feet from the school since I moved to Elk Grove, excluding field trips and other journeys which all had some form of parental supervision. xd It's so fail that it took me THREE YEARS before I could go out with classmates! Of course, you'd have to nix that the reason I went out was because it's for an AP US History assignment, BUT STILL. The principle! First time out! wee
I headed out with Phuc, Crystal, Daniel, and Chau (the first three being my APUS Study Group; Chau just generally rocks) to the Old City Cemetery in Sacramento to take photos as an Extra Credit trip for APUS this morning. I was enjoying the cemetary thoroughly -- almost uncomfortably and disturbingly so, considering the setting -- lacking lament and sad daydreams the way that I usually do around death, possibly because of the good company. Mind you, I fortunately tried to give so much respect as to avoid hellfires and the need of exorcisms, thank God. The pity was that in due time, it was inevitable that the deep thoughtfulness and the magnitude of the memorials wore off on me -- it became just a place of novelty and entertainment by the time that I left, despite my tireless efforts in the past to recognize the value and the memories of the deceased.
In total honesty, the experience itself was really a LOT less serious than I make it out to be. It was really fun, and I am happy that I absorbed some of my new city's history. However, I got tired TOO many times! Blasted be my lack of Phys Ed and lack of motivation to get off my ass away from the computer or the bed! I apparently have a "bum waddle", which I denied until I saw myself waddling in the reflection of a store window. >_>; laziness wins again D:
After the cemetery, we went to the downtown K Street mall, after some Regional Transit (the Sacramento-fied Light Rail name) issues.
It was so fun! It was nice walking and getting some good fresh air, and then THE MALL WAS LIKE, OUTDOORS! It was hardcore crazy deluxe. I was in super awe and I wanted to practically roll around in its fresh, nature-ly awesomeness. After eating, Phuc and I split off into a little mini-date from the other three, and we tried free samples galore, everywhere! We got back with the group, and we ventured into Macy's, where we were unforgettably slayed by the vastness of a DDD bra -- omfg it fits over my head. o_o; We went home after we all got pooped and tired.
Lol, so I unfortunately didn't bring a camera, and I've realized that Picture Blogs are totally in, and I'd like to share some sort of attractive visual aid. SO HERE'S SOME DRAWINGS LOL K

The kind of group picture that Chau would take.

Me tired!

The big bras.
Today's lesson: “Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.”
can you help me stop this stuttering?
Bye for now!
